Awesome vid card, i was concerned at first when i thought it would not fit my rig, but i managed to make extra space, after that my only problem was the temp, not like this card is supposed to run hot, but my cpu was creating alota heat inside, so i ripped the old 80mm fan off my old computer dusted off debree, popped in a new psu popped the card, and slapped the fan to the case side (2 80mm) and Bam! i run a cool 40c idle just like the descriptions, and 50 to 60c under load, Im enjoying this and my new rig, would buy again for Xfire

The Sapphire 5770 1Gb is a really nice card. It delivers outstanding performance for resolutions up to 1680×1050, and you can run most games at full quality at that resolution. You may have to scale back some quality settings in higher resolutions, but only by a bit. For older games you can turn on edge antialiasing and crank the AA up to 24x. The card also offers a super-sampling anti-aliasing mode, which smooths out the entire screen. It does make the graphics seem a bit less sharp, and there is more of a performance hit than standard multi-sampling AA. ATI has improved the performance and quality of multi-sampling AA to the point that super-sampling seems a bit outdated.
A single 5770 is very close to the performance seen in a 4870. The 4870 has a slight edge in performance. The 5770 has an edge with heat production and power usage, so it evens out in the end. The 5770 also features Eyefinity mode, which allows you to hook up three monitors and span the entire display across the monitors in 3d games. It also scales incredibly well in Crossfire mode with 2 cards, meeting and sometimes exceeding the performance of a pricey 5870 while coming in about 15% cheaper. The fan is surprisingly quiet as well.
One con is the new cooler, which doesn’t exhaust hot air from the case like the original 5770 cooler. It pays to have a well-ventilated case.
