Radeon HD 5770 Video Cards different kinds Same Card?

I've been looking for a video card lately and have found the "Radeon HD 5770" series. There is different kinds of Radeon HD 5770 cards such as, "XFX Radeon HD 5770", or "Sapphire Radeon HD 5770", and theres even more! When I compare them, the specifications are the same.



MY QUESTION IS, are these Radeon HD 5770 cards the exact same thing besides the name and price?|||The XFX and Sapphire are brand names. XFX are one of the best. there warranty and support is top notch also.



Sapphire is good as well but i would not rank them as high as XFX|||No they are not some of the graphics cards that have different endings such as XFX etc means that they can be overclocked to perform at higher frame rates etc. It can also mean that they have different heat sinks made by different companies such as artic cooling for better heat disperse. P.S I really would look into getting into Geforce graphics cards because over hall they beat ATI graphics cards when it comes to the heat produced :)|||The XFX and Sapphire are brand names. Different companies using the same 5770 series chip, in their own card. Difference sometimes is not that big - usually its either what cooler comes on the card or sometimes one company will factory overclock their card to push a bit more horsepower than its competitor.|||The video chip set on the cards is the same. Different makers may use slightly different drivers and may include different amounts of video ram on the card.|||yes they are virtually the same. But i would recommend a Sapphire brand one because they are very reliable and usually last the longest.|||Slight differences like low profile. I would get the one with the more memory low profile and HDMI out.

Can you run 1 video card on an SLI motherboard?

I am building a computer and i am buying a 8600gts. I want to SLI it but im going to buy one video card when im building the computer and the other around Christmas or when Nvidia drops their prices. Can i buy an SLI motherboard and keep one video card in it for the time being? or do i have to buy them both at once?|||You can install only 1. when you get the 2nd, and after you plug the video card into the mb slot, you will then 'bridge' the 2 cards together (on top) w/a connector provided with the cards.



good luck!|||Yes, its set-up for 1 video card by default. I have 2 SLI boards and neither have 2 video cards. Don't spend your money on 2 8600's, get 1 8800gt and you'll be happier.|||YES, anytime. AND by then, even the 8800 series would also be cheaper.|||Yes you can run just one now, and put the second in later. Just a note though, two 8600GTS in SLI will be easily beaten by a single 8800GTS. Just thought you might want to know that, in case it effects your decision in any way.

How much is an external video card?

Hey guys. It's me again asking you all about computer softwares and hardwares. This time I think it's kinda wierd. My friend told me that there are external video cards for laptops in the market ready to be sold. If you heard about this, then can any of you tell me the price? I hope to receive honest answers. Thank you.|||so far as nvidia and ati there are no external video cards , but there are external vga adapters for adding more monitors to your laptop since some sites won't tell what the video ram memory is you should google search it|||Its hard to say, in theory its kinda hard to hook up a video card outside connected to a USB, Cause it would need to be connected to the mother board. Cause it goes, CPU to HardDrive to CPU to Video Card to Video Port(or Screen if labtop)

I am going to buy an nvidia video card.Which is reasonable price graphic card I should buy to run gta 4?

if you were gonna run it at breakneck speeds 9800GTX or 9800GTX+

or just to run it at normal average speeds prob a 9800gt i believe its called, check minimum system requirements and make sure those cards will work but im pretty sure they will|||you can visit the official Nvidia website and look for the card that suits your need.you can find the site by googling it.



Remember,buying a lower priced card will help for a while but soon it will get outdated and will be no more than a piece of crap.



Just try to buy any card between 3000 to 3500 INR.|||If you have limited budget,you may go for Palit 9400GT 1GB DDR2 Graphics card.

I am enjoying this card.......

That is awesome....................

Will a 30mm tall video card fit in my HP Pavilion a6242n Desktop?

I found an HD3850 video card at a great price but how do you fit a 30mm card into a normal slot? (No I'm not talking about the PCIE x16 slot) I am talking about the slot on the case. Do I just put it in like any other video card?|||30 mm= 3 centimeters, or about an inch.

are you sure you measured correctly?



the 3850 goes into a PCI-E slot, not any other slot..



its easy to put in the slot, first, you open up your case, just slide it into the slot firmly, pulling the little lever on the side if you have to.

Then connect the six pin PCI-E cable to the card and you are done! (if you don't have the cable, then your power supply is not powerful enough. also, make sure you installed the drivers for the card)

Need help with choosing the right video card?

I need a new video card that has dual DVI. i dont do any gaming at all, and i will most likely get a blu-ray dvd burner, but not until the blank media comes down in price.

as far as price goes, i'd like to keep it under 100. any suggestions will be much appreciated, thanks.|||Here are two very nice pci-e cards, either can be had under $100.00

What's the best video card for the price right now?

I was only looking to spend about $30 after shipping for a new video card for my computer. I don't do much gaming, but would like to get the best card for the money just in case. I just don't keep up on the new equipment enough anymore to be able to make a good decision on my own. I use pricewatch.com to purchase most of my parts usually. It has to be an AGP card. Which one would you get?



Thanks in advance!|||There are no good cards for $30... Card that cheap (like the GeForce FX 5200 and Radeon 9200) are just obsolete crap, literally a waste of money. You're better off saving until you can get a $55 card.



Unfortunately, AGP cards cost more than PCI-E versions of the same model, because there aren't as many manufactured.



The GeForce 6200, Geforce 7300GT, Radeon X1650 and Radeon 2400 are decent low-cost cards, the Radeon 2600XT is better. The Radeon 3850 is hands-down the best AGP card, but that's a $110 card for gamers.



You best bet is probably looking for a used card on Ebay or Craigslist- something that was $75 brand-new might be available for $30ish, but for Ebay, you'll still have shipping costs.



Here's a possibility- 6 days to go, though:

Also checkout Newegg.com.|||For a $30 AGP card it's not going to be that great, but I would recommend the Geforce 6200 AGP. The 5200s are cheaper but they perform significantly worse compared to a 6200.
