is hd5770 a good graphics card?

[lgs7]

I wasn't going to pay in full for the card...only 20 euros for the 5770 or 80 euros for the 5830 because i returned a problem hd4870(sorry for my bad english i dont know how to say it)

On my country the most expensive hd5770 is 174 euros...and the 5830 only 250 euros...

Hi lgs7,

 

if you have a look on benchmarks for the 5770 and the 5830 in comparison to the 4870 you will find out that the 5770 is nearly the same like the 4870. The 5830 has ~ 30% more power, so for an upgrade i would suggest the 5830.

If you have a look in a comparison with 1920x1200 you can see that a 5770 is ~10% behind a 4870. So my suggestion to you would be a 5770 if you play max. at 1600, for 1900 you should take the 5830.

 

Btw, if i can ask you about the problem with your 4870? I'm using one myself and had a problem with a bad bios (got strange pixel failures) but it was easy to fix with a new one.

My problem with the hd4870 was that the fan wasn't working perfectly.70% and the temperatures were 107c while playing crysis! It has a guarantee,why not to return it?I will add some money and get either hd5770 or 5830

So i got the hd5770 flex editiion.Its amazing,average 25fps on metro 2033,af16x,very high,dx11,tesselation on,dof off on 1280x1024

My pc bottlenecks my gpu so when i will buy a new pc,it aint bottleneck and i guess i will get 30-35 fps
