The new HD 5770 due out 10/13/2009 is currently listed early on Newegg for 159.99 + S&H. Think they had 1 5750 too for 129.99+S&H.

That card looks bbbbaaaaaaddd!

I don't think I'd ever need it, but man do I want one!


Great post! Cheers for the Op! This isnt even out on hardware sites when this was posted..esp. 5750!!


very excited for 5750 nice price point for a 4850 replacement.

Does anybody know what the lower card will be?


cannot yet justify replacing my 4890... but i'm trying.


OP, you link to the Egg; but, not to a product. Here's a link to three ATI 5770 cards (all at same price).


Man I need to pay attention when reading. I thought I saw 5870 for this price.(mind playing trick on me because I was just reading more about them today when deciding whether or not to purchase one) I was clicking so fast trying to get one before they were sold out I clicked on the wrong thing three times trying to narrow results then when I couldnt find them I came back to this page to cry about it being dead and read it correctly.

Thanks though OP...

Great news for system builders. It's time for my 4-year hardware refresh, coinciding with Win7. XP has been great but it's time to upgrade finally. Thank goodness Vista is dead.

Look forward to some real-world benchmarks comparing the 48xx and 57xx cards.

Thx OP green for u!

Tom's Hardware Benchmarks - 4870 is faster than 5770 in every single benchmark.


Competes with the 9800 GTX+ aka GTS 250 with eyecandy on.

While the memory runs at 300MHz 5770 compared to 225MHz 4870

the 128-bit memory bus hurts performance alot.


Now I feel like I got burned, just bought a 4890 1GB for ~$160 AR three weeks ago. Most places talked about these new cards in the $250+ price range.


I'm confused by these new cards. Do they have built in audio components that replace my onboard audio? I'm hoping so because i've tried everything to get my asus p5w dh deluxe audio to work and can't...

You sure you arent thinking of the 5870 in the $250 range? That's what I have always seen. Honestly I havent even seen anything about the 57xx's till the last few days or so, not that I was actively searching it out obviously.

Your numbers are an order of magnitude off, I think.
The 5770 has 1200Mhz memory.


It is complicated but true ..

HD 5770 1200MHz, 4.8Gbps/per pin or 4800MT/s (megatransfers per second)

So what this means is the memory clock speed is 300MHz and I/O clock speed

(GPU<=>MEM) is 1200MHz at four transfers per cycle which equals

4800MT/s. Similar to how the front side bus works. How AMD's 2600MHz Hyper

Transport (5200 MT/s) has nothing to do with the clock speed of the CPU or RAM.

That's probably the case. Now I feel good about my 4890 again. It better hold up for a couple of years.


Another point about these new cards is that they can also bitstream DTS-MA and True HD from bluray to a receiver. Prior to that only solutions like the Xonar HDAV and a few others were able to do it and each one of those solutions were $120+ just for a sound card.


heh, i just got my $20 rebate on my $45 asus 9600gso in the mail yesterday. gonna wait this out for second gen dx11 cards. with that 5770 price, why even consider any nvidia card now!
