5770 Review
INTRO: Today i will be reviewing the XFX 5770 v1 ( HD-577A-ZNFC ). This is the first of the mid-ranged gpus featuring Full Dx11 compatibility and Ati's Eyefinity Technology. Eyefinity lets you use 3 monitors on 1 card, which give you a wider view in games and Multi-Screen setups for the office. This card comes clocked at 850mhz which is the same as both the 4850/4870. The memory comes in clocked at 1200mhz but since it's GDDR5 its quad pumped making the Memory data rate 4.8 Gbps.

Closer LOOK AT THE CARD
This card uses the original version 1 cooler that directs heat outside of the case, and keeps the Card at very Decent Temps.
This card has 2 dvi ports , 1 hdmi and 1 display port. The 5xxx series cards allow you to use up to three video monitors at the same time as a single desktop, feature known as eyefinity. Eyefinity is only able to work if 1 of the monitor has a Display Port or you can purchase a separate Active DisplayPort Adapter.
This Card uses 1 6-Pin power.
