Recommended Posts

So you're suggesting I get 2 of those? I think it'll be better if I just get 1 eyefinity card, right?

Yes as we don't know if you have another x16 PCI-e slot to have two card.

So a card with two DVI ports with a DisplayPort like thats one:

with a DisplayPort to DVI Cable.

To give you three DVI monitors.

that configuration will work too for his purposes.

Yes I've already stated that I have a free PCI-E slot.

Yea I know I only need 1 eyefinity. I was referring to the card chadlachlanross mentioned.

So about my CPU, do you think it'll be an issue even if I upgrade to an Eyefinity card?

my bad.

not for what you want to use it for.

use media player classic to play back videos with hardware(gpu) acceleration. unless you want to use a remote for some reason it's the best video player out these days imho.

Hey, I just got some new info. Some people are saying that I need a card with h.264 acceleration for 1080p playback. Does the 5770 have that? It doesn't say on the description page. Also, some people are saying that my XFX 7800 is good for gaming. So it'll great if the 5770 is better than mine in gaming as well. Even though I don't play games much, I still don't want to downgrade in that area. But I'm sure the 5770 is better than my 7800 for gaming, right?

Yes, the HD5770 is great for HD playback (including Flash h.264). The HD 5770 is significantly better than your 7800.

Thank you guys so much! I think I'm going to pick up a 5770 this week.

Last question: When I purchase the 5770, do I completely replace the 7800 with it? Or can I just put it in my second PCI-E slot and let them work together for an even better performance?

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones by Paul Hill Waymo, the self-driving car maker owned by Alphabet – the parent company of Google –, has recalled some of its fifth-generation Automated Driving Systems (ADS). It did so after some of its cars drove through closed construction zones. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the affected vehicles were capable of driving through a closed freeway construction zone and continuing to drive at speed. The listing on the NHTSA website says that Waymo is currently developing a solution to fix this issue, but in the meantime, freeway driving is being restricted. Waymo will update its ADS software so that vehicles can detect when they can avoid entering construction zones. According to the Safety Recall Report, on April 20, 2026, Waymo’s Field Safety Committee began meetings reviewing an event from April 11, 2026, and five events from April 19, 2026, where Waymo’s autonomous vehicles didn’t recognize and drove past ramp closure signs into the pre-planned freeway construction zones. This took place in Phoenix, Arizona. Separately, on May 18, 2026, seven Waymo vehicles entered freeway lanes with active construction in the San Francisco Bay Area by driving between cones that were placed to show the lane was closed. On the back of both of these events, Waymo restricted freeway driving until it could address the issue. In June, Waymo’s Safety Board reviewed the issue and additional information related to ADS performances around construction zones; then, as a result, it decided to conduct a recall. This development is not good for Waymo as it adds to a growing list of technical hiccups its cars have experienced. Ultimately, it will lead to more scrutiny from lawmakers around the world who will be more cautious about letting autonomous vehicles on their roads without tighter regulation. For readers in areas where Waymo operates, does this news make you more wary about stepping into one of these vehicles?
