hosnappp Posted March 7, 2010 Posted March 7, 2010 I've looked at reviews and whatnot, but I wanna hear from personal experience and maybe some ownership of the cards themselves? Which company/model should I go for when getting a brand new 5770? I was thinking about the Sapphire Vapor-X. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowtroop Posted March 7, 2010 Posted March 7, 2010 i have an XFX 5770 and it has served me very well so far. Ive had it for like 3 months. The only issue i have with it so far is that overclocking it gives me issues but that might just be my noobness Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finalheaven Posted March 7, 2010 Posted March 7, 2010 I would stick with the Sapphire Vapor-X. Very good reviews and I trust Sapphire brand boards more than other brands. The cooling on it is much better than other cooling solutions offered by the competition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'll be getting that one when I get this money, thanks guys Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

werty316 Posted March 7, 2010 Posted March 7, 2010 The Vapor-X is bad@$$! I recommend it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuri Posted March 7, 2010 Posted March 7, 2010 I vote for the Sapphire Vapor-X too since I have one myself. Though if I buy now, the MSI Hawk will be very tempting. Or XFX if you worry about warranty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or XFX if you worry about warranty. I heard that the Hawk gets loud after 60 percent fan. I'll be overclocking hopefully to 950 core. So I might need a quiet one.

Nicckko Posted March 7, 2010 Posted March 7, 2010 Hi, I currently have a Sapphire V1 this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16814102858 After tweaking a fan profile the max Temp dropped to 65 C. I think you should get the MSI Hawk http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16814127490 Some people claim that V2 cooler the egg shapped performs better than Vapor-X. Here is the link. http://www.overclock.net/ati/651602-contag...r-x-radeon.html Hope this helps, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerDeath Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 I still say the Vapor-X. I've got one right now at the speeds that OCC got in their review and the fan doesn't ever go higher then 60% to keep this thing at load. No good reason to not get it in my opinion.
