    Sapphire Radeon HD5770 Graphics Card 1GB GDDR5(Overclock ed.) Any use? What settings would it play BF3 and would it be good for playing most modern games?

    Low to medium: this is pretty much a radeon 4870 with lower power requirements and DX11 support....


    I personally would look higher up the gfx card food chain for BF3.

    What resolution will you be playing @?

    A 5770 would be fine for lower resolutions.

    Not accurate.

    I own 2 of them, and only put the 2nd one in recently. High to Ultra settings on most games. BF3, Metro 2033 you're medium to high. Skyrim You're hovering around High. 1920x1080 60hz vsync

    Im playing BF3 at 1680*1050 @ 60hz(monitor native res) on High and getting 50-60fps on a single 5770 lightly overclocked.

    Great card for the price.

    I had a rebate on my 2nd one but I slept on the paperwork :(

    still a good card though!

    Hope it's ok asking this in this thread, as it's mostly related! If it's not, feel free to split it out to a new thread!

    Running a MSI R5770 HAWK myself, and haven't tried a 'modern' game since trying to play Batman: Arkham Asylum and Dragon Age and the framerate was erratic, making it kinda unplayable. I haven't played around with it too much, but would love to give that another go, any suggestions on drivers/settings for this?

    Erratic in Arkham Asylum? Whats your processor. You didn't enable PhysX did you

    It's an i5-750. My build details are here: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=65026269

    No, I know there's no point even trying the PhysX stuff on a radeon card!
