Which 5770 to buy?

[QUOTE=CombineGuru;19832895]my sapphire 5870 is good my xfx 4670's were also good end of discussion k[/QUOTE]

What a coincidence, my sapphire 5870 is good and my xfx 4870 was good too.

[QUOTE=Xelatomis;19832916]reapaninja why do you give a shit if they're all the same exact card except for sitckers and plastic covers. It doesn't make a difference to you what card the OP buys, were just saying if you buy ATI, buy from someone that has been making them since forever.[/QUOTE]
because XFX has a double lifetime warranty, meaning if it ever breaks down they'll fix it

hey man we used to be cool

there's nothing wrong with sapphire, my point is XFX has a longer warranty so sapphire isn't the "safest choice"
if you want to guarantee you can get a replacement in X years (thus ensuring you get the "safest" option possible) then you want to look at warranties that last that long, if you know you're going to get a new card in that time and you'd rather save a bit then just get whatever's cheapest

I have only ever gone XFX. They have amazing customer support and always back up there warranties or repairs for there cards/products I have bought. I would pay the extra $ to know my product has a double lifetime warranty. Plus as mentioned before are much, easier to sell when you say that it has a lifetime warranty.
That's my 2 cents.

Alright, thank you for explaining your reasoning.

Sorry I snapped before, but you just came in here and started dropping F bombs where ever you could.

I got an xfx 5870 overclocked

HD 5770 here

[QUOTE=Yumyumbublegum;19832780]ok, you're comparing 2 companies, there are plenty more

ati doesn't sell cards, how can you prefer them over XFX[/QUOTE]

What you're saying is "if they're different they're different". If you take the same stock card from any brand they're going to perform the same and cool the same.

[QUOTE=opaali;19846971]I have XFX 5770 too, the one with newer cooler[/QUOTE]

I got two of them :hf:

[Sgt Pringles]

I have the ASUS version, I remember John Edwards saying that it overclocks better/can get a lot more performance out of it compared to others, but I may have read him wrong

[Alx123456]

I have bought a Diamond 5770, its supposed to be an long pcb with a nice looking model, but they sended me some short and some ugly 90s cooling, it cool well, but it has a bad overclock capability and you cant control the voltage.

Avoid Diamond product.

I believe they come with unlocked bios's so if you so OC you can without voiding your warranty.

XFX, Sapphire, Asus, Powercolour, HIS and ATI brand are all fine, I wouldn't get VTX as they cut corners to get the price down.
