ATi Readon HD 5770 ?????

Will ATi Readon HD 5770 1GB be enough to play current games at max setting with resolution of

1368 * 768?

My moniter is little old and i am not planning to buy a new one,also it has only VGA output.

My current card was nvidia 9800GT 512 MB (Now its dead), which was handling all the latest games at max setting except The witcher 2 (low setting) and few other games which is exceptional.



So is ATi 5770 be an idle choice for 1368*768 resolution.

Can i use DVI to VGA adaptor with this card? ( My 9800 GT worked with it).



Or



Shall i go for ATi readon HD 6770? If yes than,why?

Does it have DVI to VGA capablity?|||720p isn't a super high screen resolution.



The 5770 will max out pretty much every game at that resolution in DX 10 mode. The 5770 is a good 35-40% more powerful than a 9800 GT.



You will be able to play some games in DX 11 mode at medium settings with the 5770. Even at that 720p screen resolution, the 5770 will have trouble going at higer setting in DX 11. DX 11 enhances textures and gives more detail to the game.



If DX 11 is something that sounds appealing to you, then I'd look for a 6850 or a 6870. With the 6850 and 6870 you are getting more performance for your dollar. The 6850 is $35 more than a 5770/6770 but it's also 35% more powerful than a 5770/6770. The 6870 is $55 more but it's 65% more powerful than a 5770.



A 6870 is 125% faster than a 9800 GT, making it more than twice as fast.



The 9800 GT is a DX 10 card. It can't play games in DX 11 mode. I'm just pointing out that you've never seen a game played in DX 11 mode. DX 11 games can be set to play in DX 10 mode. The graphics look better in DX 11.



The 9800 GT and the 5770 use the same amount of power. The power consumption of a 6850 is about 10-15w higher than your 9800GT. The 6870 consumes 40 more watts than a 9800 GT. Since the 9800 GT was built on the 65nm process, it needs more power to do the job compared to these 40nm cards. If you have a 500w power supply then your covered.



Yes, all of these cards have DVI to VGA capability. In fact, a new card should come with an adaptor.



You can also check craigslist for used cards. You should be able to find a GTX 260 for $60-70 and I've seen a few GTX 285 cards going for around $100.



I bought a PNY 1gb GTX 460 from some kid for $80... He had just listed the card and he didn't know the value. I told him he could relist it and sell it for at least $100.|||as cards get more power hungry manufacturers are also developing

lower powered versions. This card has been around a while.



read this review from 2009 it may worry you.

you may want to find a 2nd hand replacement for your old card

or at least go to their website and compare actual specifications.



be careful with the extra power connectors needed for todays cards.



some games need direct x 11 make sure you choose one that is X11.
