ATI Radeon hd 5570

[Guest]

Hi i just bought a desktop with this graphics card already installed. I want to know if anyone else has used this card and how it performs. I am going to be upgrading but not for a few months.

 

[Guest]

Anyone?

Performs at what and at what resolution?

It's a pretty weak card, not really for gaming at ALL. It's on par with a 4670 and slower than the old 8800GTS 320mb.
I would recommend a 5670 as an absolute minimum with 5770 being even better.

Your capable of reading benchmarks right?

This is a good deal for $70 after rebate. This is as fast as TWO 5570's.

This is a comparison of HD4850 512mb vs. TWO 5570 1gb cards.

Keep in mind the card I recommended above for $70 after rebate is a 1gb card, not a 512mb card. It also has a lifetime warranty, just make sure you have a quality 400w psu or a cheap 450w.

Oh thanks for your help i'll hold off from playing games untill i get my new card then.

What is as good as 2 5570's

THe HD4850 1GB I linked above for $70 after rebate.

Hey I didn't say you CAN'T play games with the 5570, just that you would have to play at a low resolution with low settings.

What resolution is your monitor?

 

[Guest]

The card you recommend is in the 4000's and mine is in 5000's and i can clearly see your recomendation is better. Why?

 

[Guest]

My res is 1920x1080

 

[Guest]

I got enough money to buy the Nvidia Geforce GTX 460. Would i be able to play at high quality with this?

 

[geekapproved]

The card you recommend is in the 4000's and mine is in 5000's and i can clearly see your recomendation is better. Why?

The higher number doesnt mean anything. Just a different generation part. Some of the 5000's are faster than a lot of the 6000's. The 5970 is still the king of the hill.

 

[geekapproved]

The GTX460 is an even better choice than the 5770, and for that resolution, the minimum I would recommend you. Just make sure you get the 1gb model, not the 768mb model.

You will be able to play MOST games at high settings.

 

[Guest]

You say MOST so can any graphics card play all games at high settings

 

[Guest]

Also the 460 which im going to get is 6th on the list and it can only play MOST :S

 

[iam2thecrowe]

a gtx580 can play all games at high settings but its expensive
a gtx460 will be able to play all games at high settings at your resolution, apart from metro2033 and crysis which are pigs of games.

 

[Guest]

Thanks for explaining. I think i'll stick with the 460
