Resistence is futile. You know you want to.

 

[WebOS]

you have no idea how badly

 

[JeffyB]

Lol I have 2 and keep thinking about a third !

 

[garsands]

A 3rd is good
but noisy

I bought a 5770 today and can not get any display from it what so ever. Not very happy at the moment

 

[deus3x]

robgti, you had chance to try on another system?

 

[robgti]

No i dont have anything else to try it on. Got me thinking it might be a motherboard bios issue but can not find a bios for the motherboard. Its a J&W P45D2-ULTRA board

Does anyone play Left 4 Dead 2 with this card at 1920x1080? Just got the game today and my ageing 8800 GTS 320mb struggles a bit at the higher resolution. I dont really play many PC games these days as I have a PS3 so don't want to spend too much on something that will rarely get used.

 

[robgti]

Think i might have cracked it. It says the 5770 works on PCI-E 2.1 where as my motherboard supports pci-e 2.0. Would this stop it from working?

I have played L4D2 on mine BruceLee, maxed out at 1920x1080 with 8xFSAA. It runs absolutely silky smooth, in fact I reckon if it allowed for it you could double the settings and still get really good framerates.

nope should work fine in PCI-E 2.0 I think ?

Well some of the cards say 2.1 and some say 2.0. The same one i got says 2.1 and i have read issues with people trying to use 2.0 on 1.0 so thought that might be it

I would get a 5870 Vapor X.

Thanks for that, what I expected really The 8800 GTS runs quite well although I tried it at 1920 and it looked a lot better than 1280, just it wouldn't run too smoothly. Will probably buy one this week

Always get the best card you can afford which in your case is the 5870, which one is up to you, vapor-x are excellent cards and probably the pick of the bunch.

Have to say sapphire haven't got a clue look at this support email about problems.
Look at the picture they sent me lol wrong clockspeeds and wrong shaders from their faulty batches.
Yea thanks sapphire I'll flash a faulty bios to my card then nice advice.

Dear Sir :
Please feedback your SKU# , P/N number that can find at the back of PCB as white stickers.

Then backup your current VBIOS and send back to me , I will check at first , thanks.

You can use GPU-Z to backup the VBIOS.

Has anybody managed to fix the screen flickering issues if you enable overdrive and overclock the card at all whilst using dual screens?

Hello, i bought a sapphire 5770, and im a bit confused about the heatsink/fan.
Reading on forums there seems to be 2 versions of the reference cooling:
1- The batmobile
2- The egg

The thing is mine resembles none of them, the heatsink itself is like this one
http://www1.sapphiretech.com/us/gallery/img/544/11163-02_HD5770_1GBGDDR5_PCIE_C03.jpg , but the shroud, surprisingly, seems to be that of the 5750. The SKU number is 11163-02-20R.
The heatsink is pretty good, with 2 nice heatpipes. Temps are good, with games toping at the low 60's with the core at 1ghz and the fan is NEVER heard, so im not really worried about what i got, just curious, cause this thing, be with the shroud in the pic above, or like mine with the 5750 shroud(but same heatsink), is not even listed in sapphires webpage.

So anyone seen this heatsink in another brand?
I bought this card in spain btw, and that kind of explains the broken english too.

what is the bios on your card ? if you download gpu-z it can show it
