^ Just to confirm, won't the 5770 needs external power supply?
Moreover, GPU's are selling based on the $ fluctuations. So, it's advisable to have a word with seller, before clicking "Checkout".

 

[skeletor]

why not go all the way to HD 7770?

That thing is going to last more. Well worth it imho.

 

[Neo]

Yea, HD5770 needs an external pcie power connector, make sure your psu got one. What psu you have btw?
Btw, thanks for the chart TheTrueBlueViking , so that basically makes it a card comparable to HD6770. Really nice at the price.

You re welcome
Call me TBV if you got a problem typing that long name.
And 6770 is nothing but a re-branded 5770 with minor changes that hardly affect performance.

SAPPHIRE GRAPHICS CARD 6670 1GB DDR5

5.1k + tax @ cost2cost, so this seems same. How reliable this site is?

Yep, i am getting an CM 450W, so i guess it will work.

Budget man, budget.

@TBV Thanks for the graph.

You re welcome.

And most importantly, dont buy that CM psu.
Get a Corsair cx 430 V2 for 2.5k instead. That ll be a far more reliable bet

@TBV

I am not buying new PSU, i am getting it from my friend. He is using it for some time with his GTX460+Intel rig and it works just fine. So i guess it will be fine too.

 

[Thetrueblueviking]

CM aint a good psu manufacturer. However it aint that bad either. Should work fine as in terms of power consumption - 460 > 5770 .

 

[Cilus]

If you are getting HD 5770 at cheaper price then grab it.

 

[furious_gamer]

Since it is christmas, i get no reply from colst2cost. Will try tomorrow and see if 5770 is in stock.

 

[skeletor]

^ ask for HD 6770.

Same thing. But you won't find any card labeled "5"770 now.

 

[furious_gamer]

^^ Sure..

 

[Neo]

^ ask for HD 6770.

hd6770 would be 6-6.5k, out of the budget I guess.

 

[furious_gamer]

@Guys i am getting an offer for HD5850 2yrs old, no warranty for 5.5k+shipping, Is this price is ok?

 

[Cilus]

no, it is a bad deal IMO.

 

[furious_gamer]

^^ So what would be the correct price for that card?

Also, ASUS 795GX+Phenom X4 940+4GB DDR2+(5850/6670)+2 SATA HDD's+1 DVD+RW will run fine on "COOLER MASTER eXtreme Power RP-600-PCAR"

Get it for 5K inclusive/exclusive of shipping.

I see people selling their HD 4850s for ~2.6K. And HD 5850 is twice as fast.

I say no to every CM power supply.

 

[furious_gamer]

^^ So tell me budget PSU for that RIG? Budget is 2.5k....

 

[Myth]

Corsair cx430 v2.
You will need another 6pin connector (or molex convertor).
