Question about vapor-x version

[parithosh93]

In India i am having a hard time finding the sapphire ati vapor-x 5770 graphics card, so i was thinking i might as well buy the normal non vapor-x version, what sort of a performance drop would i observe?

thank you in advance for your replies

They will perform almost exactly the same. The main difference is Vapor-X series usually has a better heatsink/cooler, so it will run cooler and you can overclock it slightly more.

Get whatever is cheaper.

None, just heating up more. Unless you use the machine in an air-conditioned room, you'll not notice much of a change. But since you're in India, and since the ambient temperatures here are a lot more higher than abroad, you will see a rise in the temperature of the card / cards after heavy gaming, which can sometimes lead to a reboot or system failure.

If you are not able to get Vapor X Version then consider this one:

MSI HD5770 HAWK:

This one also has a good cooler.
