[Solved] ATI 5770 or 5830

tell me guys whether ATI 5770 or 5830 can run all current games with high resolution or medium resolution? And what is its future, I mean would it be fairly good to last for 1-2 years in gaming sector especially 5770

For the same price as the HD5830 there is now the HD6850 which is a much better card. If you want a card that will last you a couple of years at high resolutions it's what you should be looking at.

The HD5770 is great for low resolutions, good for 1680x1050 and acceptable but considered a bit weak for 1920x1080.
For the relative performance of these cards at various resolutions just look at this;

It is unfortunate that they did not use x2 models in that - it would have been interesting to see how cards like the 4870 x2 fare against newer series cards.

500w should easily cover an HD6870 if it is of at least average quality. There are a lot of very poor power supplies out there however so tell us the brand/model of the PSU you are talking about.

well Iam using a cooler master extreme

please use this link for specifications

what do you recommend then

If you already have that PSU then give it a try, it will probably be ok. If you are talking about a new PSU then the best brands are Corsair, Antec and Seasonic. In general you at least want a PSU with active PFC. Units with a voltage switch like on the back of that Coolermaster unit are passive which means they are cheap and outdated. Another thing to look for is an efficiency rating of 80+.

In Unigine I believe the Nvidia cards still have an advantage over comparable AMD cards but the gap is significantly smaller.

You may find that tessalation doesn't drastically improve until ATI releases the 7xxx series. This should be when they do a complete overhaul of their architecture. The 6xxx was just a improvment over the 5xxx not a complete architecture change.

The GTX 460 has a width of dual slot so does it mean I need to have two slots to run it?

Ok, now after knowing about the cards I just wanted to ask whether a 18.5 inch monitor would give me full resolution that that the cards are capable of because Iam currently using it with 1366 x 768.

well the recommended resolution is 1366 x 768 , does this means it cannot handle higher resolutions? I thought it depends upon the graphics card on which resolution you want . Iam currently using an integrated graphics card which seems to have it's max resolution as 1366 x 768.

Please analyse the specs of the product and give an answer

also Iwant to know whether 5770 is the best for that resolution

Basically it depends of the CPU watts consumption and other system components you can easily overclock HD5770 1Gbyte to 950Mhz 1350Mhz GDDR5 it will give you up to 367 FPS furmark 1.8 ratted at 1024x768 if your cpu runs at 3.30Ghz even to 1.0 pci-e with 2.0 pci-e you get will better results but have in mind a Q6600 Quad overclocked at that frequency and this card can easily brake 400 watts leaving less room for the rest of your system.

You PSU in the worst case scenario after overclock if can’t handle the HD5770 extra power demands with a 2 Molex to pci-e 6pin connector you can solve that problem. Sooner or later you will need to get a better PSU so this is the official ATI-AMD site
with the certificated PSUs:

Also this the Official site of ATI-AMD for the certificated CF PSUs:
http://sites.amd.com/us/game/produ [...] plies.aspx

You can click on details and see what chips are tested by them in eatch PSU. The Ati Radeon chip is developed by AMD after these 2 corporations merged are not 3rd party links, in case some people ignore that fact.

I hope I helped.

The Gigabyte HD5770 has in the packet and the 2 Molex to pci-e connector so it will run for sure in your system even if you overclock.

Overclocked it stands pretty well at 1280x1024 the Temrature is the only issue you will have after this i'm getting 60 C so far CF will blow me up In furmark 1.8 and this is my major problem.

Also because the most people don’t understand the watts consumption is depend on the system usage I put Prime95 64 bits to use 6Gbytes memory this time and the result was 441 watts. I can Put 8Gbytes to be used and this will raise allot more the systems consumption:

See it full 1280x1024 to: http://admins.bnb.gr/~giatrakis/prime-torture-6Gb.jpg

I can burn a dvd on the fly while I’m doing all these and this will raise the consumption allot more but the most people they don’t have 8 GBytes ram or the equipment to know it, you can read it under the task manager

I hope i have fully covereded all your issues.

I have my computer in the ups and it’s from power pannel basically it calculates also how many time can the battery hold the pc on and is changing dynamically while the watts go up because of raid 0 I need the ups I can’t afford to lose power. Also I have polymeter (how is written in English I don’t know) can calculate the watts if I plug the 2 pins in a wire.

PS: all the games are at 32 bits and above 4 Gbytes can't use this is why i didn't post something like that above 4 Gbytes i did now for you to see it.

Thanks for providing all that analysis . By the way how much a card can be stressed with furmark 1.8. Can it be stress upto 100%.

My PSU is 650watts bronze 80.

Look is very simple i did overclocked my Q6600 to 3.30 (HD5770 only in there plays without a problem after the overclock) and I’ve seen the needs to brake the 450 watts for everything I do I can see the watts to go up and down, I removed my Monitor from the UPS in order to get only the power consumption from my actions the possibility that amount to be needed in the 12v trail in some games is big more or less the data you see in my posts are 100% reliable.

After the testing in Furmark 1.8 extreme on I got more than 70 C at night!! the possibility such a heat to be created in some games CF 5770 is out of question i have hopes to the new 32nm GPUs to came out with 32 nm GDDR for CF.

This is done after Op requested Settings Formark 1.8 extrem burning on, Prime95 2 Gbytes (assuming a game is using 2 Gbytes of ram, the op has 4 Gbytes)

The watts are lower by that move but the Temprature is above 70 C with the fan (stock fan) at 100% noise level very high...
