Hi, My PC is about two years old. I want to upgrade the Sapphire HD5670 1GB DDR5 video card I installed about eighteen months ago. I'm also upgrading the PSU but that'll be handled in the PSU forum.

I like Sapphire Radeon cards but I'm really not up on the latest and greatest.
This upgrade is somewhat challenging because the interior length of the card is limited to 8"
which led me to the SAPPHIRE HD 6770 1GB GDDR5 which appears to be shorter than 8" and
it's clearly faster then my Sapphire 1GB HD5670.

Is the sapphire 6770 oneGB DDR5 about the fastest quietest most stable 8" card out there?

The most graphics intensive application I run right now is probably RealFlight flight simulator.
