anyone have an ati hd5770 card?

flakmonkey · 02-10-11, 08:21 AM

looking at a new pc with either an ati hd5770 or hd5870 obviously id like to go for the cheaper card if it will run sh5, so does anyone have either of these cards and if so are there any issues with running sh5, dont want to buy one and find out its the one card that has issues with the game (thinking of the old radeon9200 with sh3!).

cpu/ram wont be an issue i think as i could just about get sh5 running ok on my core2duo lappy with 3gb ram and integrated intel gfx card.

+id be extatic if i could at least acheive a solid 30fps.

ps.. aiming to run it at 1680*1050 with no AA/AF

My 5870 chugs SH5 along at 1920x1080 16AF / 8AA and all game settings max at a leisurely 95fps .

Might be worth thinking about your OS also.

32bit has some missing harbour etc without a fix posted by TDW

the ati 5770 will run it at your prefered settings. no prob. 64 bit os will be better because of the ram acceptance: 64 bit accepts more then 2 gb of ram...

i use ATI HD 5670 with no problems,so whatever you choose better than mine ,should be fine for yours

pants_marshall · 02-10-11, 11:39 AM

i run on win 7 64

Q9650 intel quad processor

4 gig system ram

ATI 5770 res 1920x1080

game runs fine here, though the card maybe cheap for a DX11 card its not all powerful but saying that, with a nice little overclock even with dual monitors this plays games very nicely for me. I also play FPS

well ive settled on my sys specs, went for the 5770 as i think the 5870 might be overkill

AMD® Phenom™ II X6 1045T
6144MB (2x2GB) (2x1GB)1333MHz DDR3 Dual Channel Memory
1GB ATI® Radeon™ HD 5770 graphics card with Vision Black label
1.5TB (7,200rpm) Serial ATA Hard Drive
Windows® 7 Home Premium 64bit

fingers crossed this will run sh5+mods without issue, just hope i dont regret not going for the better vid card... wish me luck!

Looks good for SH5

Obviously I'm a bit late here but I have a 5850 (the 5870's little brother) and run 1680 x 1050 like you.

With vsync on it stays right at 60 fps where it should and no need to turn off aa or af.

with win7

32bit needs 4GB ram to work best or minimum of 3GB for just enough

64bit needs 6GB ram to work best or minimum of 4GB for just enough

so keep this in mind

and newegg has some killer deals on video cards right now
