AMD Radeon HD 5770 Hits Streets Early

by - source: Tom's Hardware US

Hot off the burner!

Even though AMD hasn't officially launched its Radeon HD 5770 yet, the cards have made their way onto e-tailers such as Newegg. Essentially, Newegg has broken the NDA on the card, which is suppose to lift quite soon.

The card is a follow-up to the previously--and recently--launched Radeon HD 5870. Our own Chris Angelini benched the beast a few days ago and found it to not only be a top runner, but also hand's down the fastest single GPU solution you can buy today.

The link, here, may very well go offline any minute. But we're providing a screenshot here just in case.

Thanks to Gunny for the tip!

and still, nvidia will still preach that there is no decent DX11 games around as if indirectly saying that it is unwise to buy a DX11 card now.

well, what they are saying is true, but the fact that they are saying this since they dont have a DX11 card is amusing :D

We might start gettng Dx10 games coming out more now though, might give an impitus to get the developers to play catch up!
Ha, who am i kidding? they'll still only work on antiquated Dx9, because they are so good with how they use it, i cant see them wanting to push ahead with thats gonna make them work for the customer!
