I got the little beast today

[Sound_Card]

Nice!
It's such a cute little thing.

[jam2k]

Nice pics

Run some benchies now

After first boot

Nice, now bench some games

One more 3DMark06 run, 1280x1024 8xAA-16xAF, clock speeds 960mhz/1280mhz:

I have only Tomb Raider Underworld, and Burnout Paradise Ultimate Box installed, i sell few day ago my NFS:Shift because EA pissed me off
I have no Crysis, Far Cry 2 so don't ask, just finished Resident Evil 5 benchmark download, i will try this.

[jam2k]

Very nice OC !

960mhz GPU clock is the limit in CCC, at memory OC i just set up a random number, possible can be clocked higher

How's fan noise ?

Silent for me, even at 3D

Resident Evil 5, DX9, E8400-4050mhz 1280x1024 4xAA

[ThereIsASpoon]

Nice OC...

Too bad that's not a 5850... would like to see how it would perform against a 5870 at high clocks.

I got Crysis:Warhead for the weekend,used this tool for testing, its need to be registered to run the benchmarks with more loop, AFAIR its needed in Crysis, so take the minimum frame with a grain of salt

System Information
Operating system: Microsoft Windows XP
System memory: 2,0 GB
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHz

Used to get these framerates on my 7900GT with similar settings. So this is equivalent to a 7900GT in that respect?

I've been kind of out of the loop for a while.

Do these numbers trounce a 4850? I am asking because I had to return my 4850, but now I am thinking of waiting on a 5770.

Of course, and the difference will be bigger at higher resolution, and there is more: low idle and load power, card is very silent (at least for me), i rich the max OC at Catalyst Control Center 960/1445 from 850/1200, possible more left in the GPU, memory OC already insane, and of course its support DX11
(ram chips number H5GQ1H24AFRT2, according to Hynix graphics memory part no. decoder its 5GHZ chips)

For your information

.

Should an error be found, the GDDR5 controller will request a retransmission of the faulty data burst, and it will keep doing this until the data burst finally goes through correctly. A retransmission request is also used to re-train the GDDR5 link (once again taking advantage of fast link re-training) to correct any potential link problems brought about by changing environmental conditions. Note that this does not involve changing the clock speed of the GDDR5 (i.e. it does not step down in speed); rather it’s merely reinitializing the link. If the errors are due the bus being outright unable to perfectly handle the requested clock speed, errors will continue to happen and be caught. Keep this in mind as it will be important when we get to overclocking.

, as Anandtech said, there is a error correction fuction in Radeon series GDDR bus. If the memory bus become unstable and start to transfer error the bus will redo the data tranfer so that mean slower performance. They suggest overclock the memory but manual set the clock of it and check when you get the performance hit, it mean your memory bus is become unstable. anyway your core oc is very impressive.

I've been following the information on the HD5770 for a little while now. I have the HD4770 and am actually quite pleased with how it performs. So, I'm intrigued as to how the HD5770 compares to my own current system.

With a wee bit of overclocking on my own part, my 3DMark 06 score outperforms the HD5770 as you show here.

Here's my current result just obtained a few moments ago...11939

As i write i used 8xAA and 16xAF

Thanks, i will run a few test and than we see whats happening

Now i can test at 1680x1050 too, here is a few Resident Evil 5 bench (4xAA/16xAF), just OC'ed the ram on the VGA.

Here is a default run, at stock clocks:

[Phanstern]

Thanks Vertex for the benchiez!

The 5770 is looking like a great upgrade from my 3870, should be near 4890 powa

[Crisler]

I am curious what review site you work for since that card does not ship until the 13th according to Gigabyte?

[caveman-jim]

Obviously he found a store that would give him one before release date. If he was a reviewer he'd be under NDA.

[splinter cell]

I found out that the 5770 use the hynix GDDR5, it seems the OC is much higher than the 5870. 960/1445 in CCC!! my 5870 can't over 900/1300 in CCC

[kn00tcn]

except 5770 is 128bit, 5870 is 256bit?

[badsykes]

I saw the reviews and i am not impressed at all..5850 is the way to go if you gonna upgrade..I have 4850..I hoped for a 4890 replaced at 160$ but seems is not the case...
