Powercolor HD5770 vs. XFX HD5770 - HELP!!!

[hlw123]

i am planning to get a Radeon HD 5770... which of these 2 would be better (besides the warranty) performance wise, noise, etc... i've read that though XFX has a great warranty, they break a lot... Powercolor seems to get pretty good reviews on several techsites...

XFX: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150462


both are the same price currently, and i would rather not spend any more than that.

I also DO NOT plan on doing any OC.

The PowerColor has higher clock rates, and has better reviews overall. I'd just go with that, based purely on reviews.

I would go XFX because of the warranty. BUT you MUST register within 30 days. Its double lifetime! And if 25mhz is that important CCC can do that easy! Good luck!!!

I should pay more attention. *Derp*. XFX has a better warranty, so yeah. Problem solved; please disregard my first post :lol:

XFX for the following reasons:


1) XFX tend to have a great reputation for their products. Certainly their products are more highly thought of than Powercolor. Even looking at the reviews, XFX has 148 reviews with 66% 5 star - thats almost 100 5 star reviews. The Powercolor has 71% 5 star reviews which looks better, but that is from only 85 total reviews.

2) Great Warranty. But more importantly, a FANTASTIC customer service. (warranty means little if a company is a pain in the ass keeping their side of the bargain)
