Hey there, I currently have an ATI Radeon 4650 1024 MB graphics card running in my Gateway DX4820 desktop computer and was thinking of upgrading to the Radeon 5770. I'm running 8GB of DDR3 ram with an Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 processor.
I noticed that this card runs on GDDR5 memory technology. Since I'm a horrible graphics card noob, I was wondering if my desktop running on DDR3 ram will be compatible with the 5770? Also will this be a worthwhile upgrade to make? I noticed it's about 10 slots up in the graphics card heirarchy... P.s: thanks for making that - your site is by far the most informative when it comes to graphics cards. Thanks very much!
