Thread: Radeon 5770 Crossfire performance

Interesting article from Techgage comparing a pair of Radeon 5770's to the 5800 series cards.

When I first sat down to benchmark the Radeon HD 5770 in CrossFireX, I admit that I didn't expect what I saw. Of course, the HD 5770 is theoretically one-half of an HD 5870, and based on that alone, I assumed what I'd see for performance. But what I really saw was much, much better. The slimmer 128-bit memory bus didn't prove to be much of an issue at all, and thanks to the combined 2GB of memory, we surpassed the performance of the HD 5870 in most of our tests. That's impressive.

Good stuff.

Good option for people anxious for the new DX11 parts from AMD. The 5800 series parts are on short supply and the prices are above MSRP almost everywhere. 5770's are in good supply from what I can see.
