thanks for viewing this thread, i currently have a 5770 and wanted to upgrade, so here is my 2 options.

either get a 460gtx or get 5770 and do a CF, now which one would be the better option?

system:
core i5 750 at 3.6
4g ram corsair at 1800mhz 9-9-9 24
OCZ600MXSP PSU
p55 asrock extreme mobo

gaming at 1680x1050 resolution


 

Only if adding the rails worked, read the label.
 
The only issue is this:
"So over the years Multi-GPU support has improved quite a bit, AMD still isn't up-to snuff at the level of NVIDIA though, multi-GPU supports still literally and directly remains the Achilles heel of ATI's Catalyst drivers. For years now we have been requesting user-based multi-GPU profiles. See when a new game comes out, multi-GPU support will not be supported by the Catalyst driver. ATI will always need to update this through drivers or downloadable profiles. What ATI needs to do is to allow the end user to make custom profiles per game. A small tip, renaming your game-executable towards a game title that is supported can, not always but often, help out."

Maybe it's a slight edge:

power consuming doesn't really matter, the important thing is if its faster and reliable at the same time, and i think im gonna go with another 5770 it looks like the better option.
