As the title says, what's the difference?

Also, I was wondering what would be the best 5770 for a case with not so great air flow, I have a Dell 435MT. I was thinking one with a reference cooler would be best since it blows hot air out of the case, but wasn't sure since there is practically no fresh air coming in.

And thirdly, is 5670X2 > 5770?

Thanks for any advice. :D

Actually neither of those , use the reference cooler , this one does.

The others use heat pipes and are not completely vented out the back like the xfx one is.
A 5670 has 400 stream Processing Units which is half a 5770, so a 5670 in crossfire would probably NOT be faster.

edit: I would go with the cheaper Saphire you pointed out.

Ok, so do you know any difference between those 2 Sapphire cards? And what made you switch from the reference cooler to the Sapphire card? What about the Vapor-X model, ASUS CuCuore, or the MSI HAWK version that is going to be released?

I'm curious, what is it in the specs of the vapor -x specs lead you to believe its factory overclocked?? I just bought the vapor x model and I believe I carefully inspected the specs and saw no difference between it and the other 5770's. I thought I was paying extra for a cooler that was slightly quieter/cooler??

The Vapor-X model has a core clock of 860mhz rather than 850.
So nobody know what the difference between the -2L and -3L models are?
And i could still use more input on which model to get for a Mid tower that doesn't have great airflow.
Thanks :wahoo:

In regards to the Hawk version, I read the reviews and impressed with the cooling solution. The whole look of the card, it also definitely has the ability to over volt via sofware for o/c. Would this heavy duty model o/c and run more stabily than one of the more manistream models , I don't know. If you could get this for a good price, I'd go for it.
