Graphics Card

[DWorrall]

Hey all, i was looking at this card.

Sapphire ATI Radeon 1GB HD5770

First question, is there a card thats the same or better for the same or cheaper price? (i wanna be able to play crysis on full, atm i can play on medium - high).

Secondly, idk if that card does, but if a card needs 2 x 6pin power cables and my PSU only came with one, can i get another (its modular).

Thank you.

Edited post, my specs are @ http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=1608188

I havent overclocked it yet, not got round to it.

Additional info:
- NZXT Gamma case
- Good air flow
- 850w PSU

5770 only requires 1 6pin connector. You wont get a card that will max out crysis for that price, but the 5770 is a good card for that price.

There was a card on here that could max crysis for about £110, sadly i cant find it (the crysis part was in the reviews)

if thats all you can afford, then i would go with the 5770. I used to have one, and its a solid card.

Would you say my specs = a good gaming PC? (Assuming i got a decent card, my current one is good but i need an upgrade)

yeah its a decent enough gaming system, you should see a nice boost in performance, with a good card.

Ah good to hear, if im honest i have trouble overclocking it hehe. but i have it running smooth stock 3.4ghz @ 1.3v... I shall have to overclock it when i can :/. need a tutor lol.

Thats to pre-order, the price will go up and i dont have the money -right now- :/.

Is this card any good? the reviews are excellent.

It seems faster than that 5830 you posted.

I'll sleep on it, thank you for all the advice.
