It's a difficult decision to choose between these because I have to take into account the reviews saying that certain cards don't blow air out the back and some do. Also, I want to try and get one with 2 DVI ports because I noticed some only have 1. Plus apparently one of the powercolor ones is too wide to crossfire it on certain motherboards. This is all very confusing :S

I should have mentioned, I also kind of want to go on the cheap side. Unless it's absolutely worth the extra 20 bucks.
I have a XFX 5770, comes with 2 DVI ports; 1 Display Port; 1 HDMI Port and a heat exhaust + unlimited warranty. Good value if you ask me.
I was going to go with the HIS one but I ruled it out because it only has one DVI port.
Powercolor PCS+ or MSI Hawk are the goto 5770s from what I've seen.
Only PCS+ has 2 DVI though, between those two. The Hawk is supposed to be the better choice if you're into overclocking.
Just get the cheapest one, which is either the gigabyte, considering you don't want the single slot design of the HIS, or the powercolor, if you factor in the cost of DiRT2.
MSI Hawk is also a reasonable choice;MSI being one of the few 5770s that have unlocked voltages, combined with the nonreference cooler, allow for higher overclocks than standard 5770s
Get XFX.

I'm using an XFX. Works perfect.
i bought the xfx 5770 and personally it works PERFECT. no problemss.
Sapphire
I always buy XFX
Is the egg-shaped cooler better than the reference one?
[QUOTE=superadamwo;21338514]Is the egg-shaped cooler better than the reference one?[/QUOTE]
The reason everyone says XFX is because the XFX card has 2x DVI ports, an HDMI, and a Display port, while the HIS only has one DVI, an HDMI, and a Display port.
The XFX card has +1 DVI ports, plus the others, and comes with a [b]double[/b] lifetime warranty, plus their amazing customer service. If you can afford it, it's definitely worth the extra money.
Plus I think their policy lets you OC without voiding the warranty?

If I remember right, it's about 5-8c cooler

Im pretty sure you can OC and not void the warranty.
Don't go with MSI. You'll regret it if you end up having to RMA it.

Double lifetime warranty? So...does that mean if you die and come back as a zombie your card is still covered?

This Asus one just went on sale and now it's the same price as the XFX. Fuck, another option.
