discussion XFX 5770

I got it on boxing day out of NCIX Burnaby. Waited 30 minutes outside on the lineup . The total was 189 (before tax) but with the LCD I got the price went down 20 bucks so I apply the difference to the video card. Ended up costing 194 with my own money:thumb:

YouTube - Unboxing: XFX 5770​

Flashed to Asus bios for voltage control up to 1.4v. Clocks are at 1040/1400. Here is 3dmark Vantage score

Honestly, you'd have been better off getting a 4890.

You looked like a little kid opening his first Christmas present

Btw, Is the stock 5770 cooler loud?

If Dennis Leary saw that vid he'd hunt you down and kill you for your music choice. :rofl:

How hot does it get under furmark load at 1.35v?

at 40% it's basically as quiet as Lian Li 140mm fans. 100% it's roaring though. Fun to scare people.

wouldnt it be dx.10?

i have the same card just with stock bios running 960/1400

tell me, since u flashed it, does it retain the function of while idle dropping the core and mem frequencies to very low?
i think thats powerplay but im unsure.

I must say I am utterly pleased with DiRT 2 running @ DX9 (yes it is DX9), its simply gorgeous. Depending on the resolution you play at, I prefer to have more FPS, specially when the loss is barely (if at all) noticeable in real time situation. If you want, have a look at this review of DiRT 2 and comparing DX9 with DX11, I know its Toms, but I find it interesting: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/dirt-2-performance-benchmark,2508.html

And I agree, you were quite daring in your choice of music.
