Hot off the burner!
Even though AMD hasn't officially launched its Radeon HD 5770 yet, the cards have made their way onto e-tailers such as Newegg. Essentially, Newegg has broken the NDA on the card, which is suppose to lift quite soon.
The card is a follow-up to the previously--and recently--launched Radeon HD 5870. Our own Chris Angelini benched the beast a few days ago and found it to not only be a top runner, but also hand's down the fastest single GPU solution you can buy today.
The link, here, may very well go offline any minute. But we're providing a screenshot here just in case.
Thanks to Gunny for the tip!
As for the "unofficial" specification of the Radeon HD 5770? They are, according to Newegg:
| Chipset | |
| Chipset Manufacturer | ATI |
| GPU | Radeon HD 5770 |
| Core Clock | 850MHz |
| Stream Processors | 800 Stream Processing Units |
| Memory | |

It's rather difficult to pick the perfect graphics card at a certain price point, because this probably is the fastest-changing segment of the hardware market. We looked at our Interactive Desktop VGA Charts (2007 Edition) to find a suitable graphics card. The charts offer great comparisons of most of the current- and last-generation graphics card models, based on objective benchmarks. For each graphics chip and memory device, you will find multiple vendors. Right now, an ATI/AMD Radeon HD 2600 or Nvidia's GeForce 8600 series are the mainstream workhorses for 3D graphics. As you can see in our VGA Charts, both cards offer mainstream performance at very acceptable prices. There might still be Radeon X1800 or X1900 cards, or GeForce 7800 and 7900 parts available for equally interesting prices. However, they will consume considerably more energy and they aren't DirectX 10 compliant. While this isn't a real issue today, it will be with upcoming 3D game titles. We recommend going for a reasonable DirectX10 graphics card and then upgrade to something with more bang later on. Graphics performance will speed up the pace faster than most other components. We chose Gigabyte's Radeon HD 2600 Pro. It has 256 MB GDDR2 memory running at 800 MHz, a 600 MHz chip clock speed and dual-DVI interfaces. You can always convert DVI interfaces to attach an analog S-Sub display, but you will be thankful to get two DVI ports if you ever want to hook up two TFT displays. Lastly, this graphics card requires little idle power and is passively cooled, which is important if you want the system to be quiet and energy efficient. Make sure your case is properly ventilated to ensure stable operation. If you cannot or if you live in a really hot environment, we recommend investing in a graphics card that has a fan.

AMD Radeon HD 3800: ATI Strikes Back
Things aren't looking too good for AMD. Up until now, its graphic card offerings were only worthwhile for two cards: the Radeon HD 2900 XT Compare Prices on Radeon HD 2900 XT, performing better than the GeForce 8800 GTS 640 MB at a similar price (but at a noise and power consumption level much higher at peak) and maybe the Radeon HD 2600 XT, but only for Home Theater amateurs. Here may have been a big gap between those two cards, but their respective price points were almost coherent. The manufacturer was ready to fill it up with its Radeon HD 3850 and 3870, which only launches today. At least, this was true until, all of a sudden, its best friend knocked the air out of it by launching a card that surprised everyone, NVIDIA included: the GeForce 8800 GT 512 MB with a performance-price ratio that's actually exceptional. Call of Duty 4 The situation thus becomes particularly ironic today because, AMD's very high end is thus beaten by a card sold at $230 . It's a situation that has a tendency to remind us of a time we thought was forgotten, that of the first Radeon. Yet, the rushed launch of GeForce 8800 GT is characterized by a more than problematic availability of those cards, and it's going to remain tight until January. Henceforth, what is AMD able to offer in this price range for the end of the year? Join our discussion on this article!

Despite this botched launch, where the Radeon HD 4850 was available even before the press had information about it and the 4870 is still not available, there’s no denying that the 4850 is a very good card. Its performance is only 19% below the GeForce 260 GTX’ and is overall on a par with the GeForce 9800 GTX +, while beating out the 3870 X2! Note that those figures are influenced by the slight factory overclocking of the Asus model tested for this article, but on the other hand they’re adversely affected by the absence of Race Driver: GRID due to the problems we had with our sample card. Still, the 4850 is already available at a price even lower than expected: $200! Nvidia should be the first to be surprised by that, while their decision to send us a GeForce 9800 GTX + a month before its availability (thus causing a big drop in the GeForce 9800 GTX’ price with some stores are starting to offer it for $199 ), won’t be enough. The GeForce 9800 GTX +, though not uninteresting (since it uses Nvidia’s first 55 µm GPU, with a frequency increased by 9% and a slight drop in power consumption and temperature), only represents a slight improvement in performance compared to the 9800 GTX and it costs more (it’s expected to retail in the neighborhood of $230, with the 9800 GTX’ price dropping a little more in the meantime), and above all it’s not yet available. As of now, in any event, it doesn’t seem to be worth the additional wait, prior to publication of our results of the high-end Radeon HD 4870. AMD Radeon HD 4850A too-hasty launch, but a card with a red-hot performance/price ratio despite its use of a reworked architecture, now optimized and extremely effective at this price level. Despite its advance in presenting the GeForce 9800 GTX +, Nvidia has been bested for performance/price ratio and at this price level.ProsConsOptimized and corrected RV670 architecturePerformance on a par or slightly better than the GeForce 9800 GTX +Antialiasing often performs better than GeForceHigher power use and temperature at idle + AWARD: The Tom’s Hardware Recommended Buy Award, given to a product that provides the best bang for the buck.









I want for my first crossfire box.
The HD5770 has been listed in Aus for at least a week. Even the HD5750 is listed.
Our local computer shop is selling them as well. $190 CDN, which is pretty much the price of the 4890. I'd love to get my hands on one. There was 4 in stock today, but I didn't have any money with me
Thats not an HD5770, thats an HD4870. lol almost exact same specs.
hmm... HD5770 is listed for $159.9 on newegg.com which is almost the same as HD4870(1G). Toms, when are we going to have the compairson between these 2 cards?
More importantly will HD5770 pushs HD4870 and HD4850 even cheaper?
I will defintely love to see the price drop of HD4870 and HD4850!...
It may be same specs as a 4870. However I'd buy a 4870 with DX11 and Eyefinity any day.
Looks like it will be on par with the 4870, except with several more display ports and probably improved power efficiencies here and there.
What will the 128-bit memory do to the performance?
By the way, base on the nature of the crossfire setup... I guess we will not be able to pair up HD4xxx with HD5xxx on crossfire...

Wondering if there is going to be a price drop of HD4870 and/or HD4850... will it be better to spend the money for a pair of HD4870/HD4850 or a single HD5870/HD5770?
I hope Toms is going to roll out a lot of reviews on these setups...
Even more pain for nvidia. So much for their too little too late gt220 "budget" cards.
This gives me new-gear-fever... I don't need it, but I want one.
It would make sense for the HD4870 and HD4850 to undergo a bit of a price drop, which would make the 4870 an absolute steal. AMD/ATI seems to be taking care of business at least on the graphics side of things.
Probably did this to embarrass Nvidia's "new" GT210/220s.
Where the heck is the HD 5870x2!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh snap Nvidia is geeting its ass beat at the momment.
What??? 5750s just hit the market too!!! Check it out...

You guys are aware Nvidia 300 series cards are going to smoke ATI's 5800 cards right? Nvidia has ALWAYS been the video card king. ATI has been making a good showing of late and that is good for all of us since it creates price wars which benefits us.
ATI's 5800 cards I have seen tested only slightly outperformed Nvidia's current line up (not talking about $$) and they should do just that but the margin was very small. Nvidia is in no rush to get their cards out...DX11 games aren't even around yet so why rush the product out?
Don't get me wrong I am a huge AMD fan and I am enjoy seeing them putting out some decent vid cards but I have always used Nvidia cards since they always have higher performance hands down. It is just odd to hear so many people say how ATI is "hurting" Nvidia because it released it's cards first. They are getting some of the premature DX11 market but they might be pissed when they see what Nvidia presents us with.
I could see them start to phase out the 4xxx series now... they really have all their bases covered now that the 5750s are out. Now the manufacturers just need to start pumping out the cards.
@edilee i agree, AMD are showing their cards way to soon.
I can see it as an attempt to crab the early market share, I bet nvidia is going to drop a bomb when they "quietly" (as amd does always did) slip in their next cards.
But as it stands, people are making judgments way to soon.
why are they so big! what ever happened to the flag ship cards being single slot and shot enough to actually fit in normal ATX cases! (like the 7800)
after the 8800 nvidia even said "this will be the last monster gfx card"
but they just keep getting bigger and bigger. they completely trampled on the ATX standard that mobo, case and psu makers had stood by for years by making the cards LONGER than the motherboards!
my current card is an 8800gt, single slot, normal length, just one power connector, not requiring its own psu! and I have no urge to upgrade until something of the same size comes out, or something truly revolutionary.
I'm currently looking to get both a graphic card and new PSU to run it...
I'm thinking that even if 4870 prices drop substantially--I might still save money going with the 5750--because I could get away with a much lower-power system. (rumors say 5770 at 108 watts load and 5750 at 86!)
I am really looking forward to Tom's benchmarks for these cards.
in regards to nvidia and their upcoming fermi card it is mainly focused on GPGPU tasks rather than gaming. as for amd they have all their bases covered across most of the price ranges so i dont see nvidia anytime soon gaining any foothold in the foreseeable future.
im not really pro in this but isnt it a bit expansive for a 128 bit?
good job AMD good job indeed...8800gtx for $600 the GTS for like $400 and the 8600 gts for $200, thank god i dont have to be the one who can only afford the pathetic 8600
am i the only one who likes to see ati on top?
maybe its because when nvidia's on top and dominating they always charge you shittacular prices. Like pink panther said 200 bucks for a 8600. Or getting a performance dominator like the 4870 for 150!!!!!!
Quick feet the new and improved Ati has.............
High to mid to low end in less than three weeks. Nvidia better be coming out with their super-processor type GPU already or before the Xmas break in order to nullify Ati's momentium. It looks like the holiday season is all ATi/AMD's!
Yes, in Australia a few shops have listed it on their websites.

Nvidia had to go back to the drawing board and set their release back 6 months so they can make it better. Better make sure you have plenty of lube ready when they release it, they will stick it to you like they always have.
It may be same specs as a 4870. However I'd buy a 4870 with DX11 and Eyefinity any day.
Price is comparable, performance is likely comparible, ecept for DX11, eyeinfinity, and lower power usage (for those with weaker PSUs that want to go for CF).
I like.
Too bad I want a 5870 2GB instead...
Regardless, nice and cheap, expecially the 5850.
Though, honestly, with the performance of these cards, they somehow feel more along a 56xx line.
The 46xx was comparable with the 38xx, and the 47xx was essentiually the 40nm test run.
The 57xx seems to be on par with the 48xx, so will there even be a 56xx or 53xx?

Waiting for 2GB 5870 as well, 1GB could be low for 2560x1600 and add to it few more monitors and it run out of videomemory at such resolutions.
Anand has already benched the 5770 and 5750. It looks like they're complete duds to be honest. The 128 bit mem bus seems to be a huge bottleneck as the 5770, which in all other specs matches the 4890, can barely keep up with a 4850 in most cases. For the same price you can get a 4870, and it will be a decent bit faster. Seems like a pretty big trade off just for dx11 support.
