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?

you only need one 5770.

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?

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes by Taras Buria Recently, Forza Horizon 6 players discovered an interesting glitch that allowed farming a crazy amount of in-game credits in a few minutes. Playground Games quickly pulled the plug on the exploit by disabling one of the game's online modes, and today, the studio is rolling out another hotfix. In my review, I complained about the game still showering gamers with cars, credits, and wheelspins. As such, earning money in Forza Horizon 6 is not a particularly difficult task. You simply have to play the game, crazy, I know. However, people still found an easier path to becoming a billionaire in Forza Horizon 6. All you had to do was purchase the Hummer EV, install a specific tune, shift in reverse while going at about 15 MPH, hit a wall, and get launched into the stratosphere at the speed of light. While mid-air, launch Eliminator and quickly get eliminated. Boom, the game just awarded you with a few million in-game credits. Initially, Playground Games disabled Eliminator to prevent people from farming credits. Now, following the release of the first balancing update, developers are rolling out a new update that re-enables Eliminator and gives users a free McLaren Sabre as a gesture of goodwill. Here is the changelog: One critical issue remains unpatched, though. There are quite a few reports of the game wiping gamers' saves, and developers are still looking into that. To avoid potential data loss, Playground Games recommends taking one of the steps outlined in a previously published support article.
    • Dead by Daylight, Two Point Museum, and more join Xbox Free Play Days for the weekend by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There is a brand-new Free Play Days offer available to Xbox players, giving them a chance to try out a new selection of games over the weekend.

Meanwhile, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, and Essential members can now try out the well-received tycoon game Two Point Museum, the circuit racing sim Assetto Corsa, as well as 2K's golf sim experience that gives players a career to develop alongside real-world pros and courses.
