Nyt Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 HD5830 because of more warranty and better performance. $30 isn't that much more to pay for a brand new card Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedway Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 sapphire 5830 for directx 11 and 256 bit Just for the record the 5770 is DX11 also Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
red1776 Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 (edited) most definitely the new 5830, its the difference between 1680 x 1050 and 1080p as it were. just make sure it will fit in your case, its a long card (as long as a 5870) Edited May 16, 2011 by red1776 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaporX Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 The 5770 is a great card and would do well but for the price he is asking I would go with the new 5830. Get him down another $10 to $15 and my vote would change. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazypoloc Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 The 5770 is a monster of a card for the money, it performs almost on par with my 5850@1080p rez. You can't go wrong with either, but I would probably go with the card that has a warranty. Are they both reference cards? Or does one or both have a non-reference design that dumps hot air into the case? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cery25 Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 Just for the record the 5770 is DX11 also i mean to say that , the 5830 has more power playng in directx 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
