You can remove that one from the list. There is one screenshot showing I think 21 aircraft. It is of 109's and bombers being attacked.

nice gfx card in the "bang per buck" category, but for the new high end cpu you have the gfx card will be a bottle neck in more demanding games. i bought the same card here recently when my own pc went belly up a few months ago, but i have it paired with a much lower spec'ed midrange intel i3 cpu at the moment.

if you already spent your money, dont fret and just wait for BoB's release. at that point i suspect you will need to get a better gfx card if you are using a HD monitor and want the eye candy turned up

HD5770?

This card get's its butt whooped by the end of production GTX260.

It ok however, when you consider you'll need a new one for SOW anyway.

Not to mention all the future driver issues with ATI cards, doesnt anyone remember all the problems with ATI cards and lack of driver updates??

Do that many people have money to burn on overpriced intel hardware??
Save a couple hundred bucks and get a quad core Phenom or hex core for much less and get basically the same performance.

Just finished AM3 conversion and bought

-MSI M65 mATX mobo
-955 BE
-4GB DDR3 (VR)

GPU is still a galaxy 260/216OC and I am very well aware I'll need a new one(Nvidia it will be) for SOW.
Took the mobo because it potentially could take 2GPUs, although they wouldn't fit in the current case I guess.
[Nvidia chipset would have been even cooler, but there are no mATX mobos on the market in this configuration]


Maybe s.o. can explain the advantages of an Itel CPU - because I really cant see any(other than mentioning it in the sig;))

Radeon ATI HD5770 1 gig card is nothing to laugh at

i had a 5770 running eyefinity on 6000x1200 ... granted i could only have aa on in a few games and most games were at medium / low settings.... on a single screen it doesnt do bad, but you certainly wont be maxing the settings without some lag, depends whats important to you, if your short on cash then i would just stick with the 5770 and whenever you get a present or something maybe ask santa clause for a 5870, 5770 have good resale value i actually sold mine for more than i bought it for on ebay

It sure is.

Let me post this link from the SLI vs XfireX thread

What are you going to do when SOW comes out and you have all sorts of graphical issues with your ATI card? Download the latest Nvidia drivers :)

ok your an idiot or a troll .. those tests are all with high aa and af... 5770 choke on high aa and af, if you put it at 2x aa and or 0 - 2 af.. the 5770 would be running up ALOT higher on frames probably double, find one card in the 5770 price range taht does anywehre near as good.... didnt think so.. not only does it give the most fps per dolalr it also gives the most fps per watt.. its an extremely efficient mid range card.. comparing it to high ends is doomed, ive never been a fan of crossfire, i dont use crossfire, i hear SLI is alot better, but comparing a mid range card to high ends? seriously what did you expect


the 460 does about 33% better than the 5770

it also costs $230 but you can pick up a 5770 for $150-160 230 / 155 = 33% price difference so if u dont have the money to spend on a 460 you wont fins anything better at that price point in DX11

thats funny becasue i did have driver issues with my 5876 2GB, but a week later 10.5 betas came out havent had a single problem since then
