Nice mid-range card
By C. Miller
I purchased this card as part of a new budget build and it has performed wonderfully. I'll give detailed system specs at the end of the review.The packaging for the card is adequate and arrived in perfect shape. It includes a Molex to 6-pin PCIe power adapter, a Crossfire bridge, a DVI to VGA adapter, and the card itself. Installation is straight forward, but be sure you have room for a double wide card, because this card will take up two PCI slots in the back of your case.The build quality is pretty good, with the card flexing ever so slightly at the end opposite the rear of the case, but not too much to be of concern. What does lead to some concern though is that the memory chips are on the side of the board opposite the heatsink and fan. This means there is no cooling directly applied to these chips, which tend to get pretty hot. I haven't had any issues with these chips overheating in a mid-size case, but it might be something to watch if you are using a smaller case with poorer ventilation.In regards to gaming performance, this card performs very well, especially considering its price point. I have been running Team Fortress 2, Modern Warfare, CS:Source, and Civilization V at max settings at 1920x1080 flawlessly. DiRT 2 runs at almost highest settings smooth as butter (It runs at highest settings, but frame rate dips every once in a while) and Crysis runs very well and is enjoyable at high settings.This card does support DirectX 11, but not to the level where DirectX 11 features will really shine. Heavy tesselation especially makes this card struggle, so don't purchase this card if you are looking to be screaming along the bleeding edge of graphics technologies.Overall, I would recommend this card to anybody looking for a middle-of-the-road graphics card. It isn't going to set any records, but will power your games for a couple years into the future, and if you aren't running resolutions as high as 1920x1080, you'll see outstanding performance in most of what you throw at it.My specs:Rosewill Challenger CaseIntel Core i7-930 - Overclocked to 3.80GHzCooler Master Hyper 212+ CPU Cooler10GB DDR3 RAMASRock X58 Xtreme3 MotherboardGigabyte Radeon HD 5770 Super Overclock EditionCooler Master 700W PSUWindows 7 Home Premium
