Sapphire HD 5770

Introduction

It seems like a long time has passed since the release of the 2900 XT. This dark time for ATI will forever be known as their all time low. However ATI has slowly but surely been improving since that dark time. After the successful release of the 4xxx series it seemed like ATI could do no wrong, and so far that still remains true. The new 5xxx series has changed the way we look at graphics cards. Bringing with it not only the fastest single GPU to date, but the first card to support DX11. It is only fitting that ATI downgrade the 5850 and 5870 to make a more affordable card. They have done just that, and today we bring you the ATI 5770 from Sapphire. With support for DX11, and the ability to crossfire this card does not slack on the features of its bigger brothers. The card also features a 128 bit bus, and GDDR5, so you won't be robbed out of memory bandwidth. Overall this is looking like the perfect replacement for the 48xx series cards.
