opions please can get 2 HIS 5770's £233 inc & del, worth it for new tec and the promise of DX11 over my ageing POVGTX280. The crossfire performance look really nice but im a little unsure :)

If you like AA and AF, get a single 5850 rather than two 5770's.

Thanks for the reply mate, they will be the same price i guess the only thing that had got thinking is a fair few bench's showing the 5770 giving the 5850 slap in CF...hmm will be runing 3 24" samsungs at 1900x1200 if that makes a diff? :confused:

Those cards from ebuyer are VTX ones, a sub devision of Powercolor. I bought one aswell and got it to 960/1445 on stock volts.

Your motherboard is good enough to benifit from the full potential of crossfire and these cards really do scale very well, so if you're up for it, go get them...

it may be 2x5770,5850 or 5870 .It is going to get change in 6 months .when a new powerful card arrives :D
i think if u have 2x5770 & overclock it to 1000+ mhz on gpu u are a winner @ that price point ...............................
