Asus 5770 Cucore

LoadsaMoney · 14 Dec 2009 at 14:20

ASUS is releasing it's own version of the Radeon HD 5770 labeled with Cucore. The Cucore is equipped with a self designed cooler and custom PCB.

ASUS apparently used a lot more copper in the PCB and cooler base plate with the result of 11& better cooling. Unfortunately the clock frequencies remain the same at 850 MHz for the core and 4800 MHz on the GDDR5 memory. Connectivity wise you will spot a HDMI, DVI and D-Sub connector.

ASUS delivers the product with smart Docter software which allows a little voltage tweaking as well.

Nice, this has the core over to the right.

You could fit an arctic silencer S1 to this card.

Single crossfire finger = no tri crossfire.

looks cheap tbh

Reduced number of output connectors too, looks like vga/dvi/hdmi(or is it dp) instead of 2dvi/hdmi/dp. Guessing we'll see these 5770s sub £100 within a month or 2.

doesnt look very attractive!

Schizo · 14 Dec 2009 at 17:01

why does it have to look nice ?

as long as it does what it's ment to then look's are not a problem is it ?

im certain i don't look at my card when i play cod 4.

do all your components match then ?

I couldn't give a **** what it looked like tbh. I have no case window, and even if I did I wouldn't really be looking at it. If this allows better 3rd party heatsinks to fit that can't be a bad thing. They look a bit cramped in SLI with the new style coolers.

minikayslay · 14 Dec 2009 at 17:15

yea , they do actually 2 a point. ive kinda got ocd, and it comes out into my case lol. Ive got a Ati 5850 which is red and black with a HAF 932 Case, and my mobo Dim Slots match my colour combo

, it does look rather good.
ill post a pic up

Are the mounting holes wider?

looks pointless to have the slot vents on it with that cooler

Probably use the same slots as other cards to save making a specialised slot. Saves money.

Does'nt do it for me.

Looks awful, and why DSUB? what's the point?

I'll stick with my Sapphire reference designed cards with their dual DVI, Display Port and HDMI.

gurusan · 14 Dec 2009 at 21:07

if only it had a decent cooler :/

Indeed, I should hope it's around the £100 (max) mark by the time it gets to OcUK or similar.
