Radeon 5770 with Killer NIC - worth it?
Last response: in Graphics & Displays
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: Today/Tomorrow BUDGET RANGE: $130/$110 (w/SH)
USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming (RPG, RTS, light FPS, mostly pre-2010)
CURRENT GPU AND POWER SUPPLY: None (new build), Thermaltake TT-450 450watt PSU
OTHER RELEVANT SYSTEM SPECS: Phenom II x6 1090T 3.2Ghz, 4GB Corsair XMS3, ECS A880LM-M, Thermaltake V2 case
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: Newegg, TigerDirect COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: USA
PARTS PREFERENCES: Prefer ATI/AMD in this case, could go Nvidia if good deal arises
OVERCLOCKING: No SLI OR CROSSFIRE: No
MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1920x1080
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Would prefer the coolest, quietest, least-power consuming card available, due to the loud GT240 I have running right now (even at idle!).
I was thinking of getting this card for my new build since I saw it on sale for $109, Visiontek Radeon 5770 with NIC
Would I get any noticeable performance over a Sapphire 6770 ? The Sapphire is my other choice for a card. I've heard that even though it is a rebadge, the 6-series fixes some graphical issues with older games that the 5-series had, and I still play many of my older games from time to time. Any feedback is much appreciated!

Well I've seen a KNIC alone go for 110 my htpc uses a HIS 5770 it games alright I usually have the fan set at 60% it's cool and silent it runs New Vegas at ultra at 1920x1200.As for the 6770 I think they are just an updated version of the 5770 it is probably more efficient power wise but I haven't heard if that's true or not.
