Re: Don't get me wrong, I agree the HD5770 is an awesome card Macharius Send a noteboard - 02/11/2010 08:01:21 PM
I'd actually considered getting a 4850 or 4870 (4890s weren't generally available), but wanted something that would run at a lower temp and use less power while being a newer architecture.

On Wow my HD4890 I have never seen the card dip below 60fps as long as I keep everything on Ultra besides the Shadows (and I game at 1920x1080 which is a higher res than yours.) I expect the same to happen with your HD5770. (Can't speak of Dalaran yet for I haven't got that far).


Dalaran's a problem only in rendering so many characters at once. It was a problem in TBC as well, since both expansions made a neutral city for the new continent and your entire server population ends up there to nuke your graphics card. ;) Thankfully, Cataclysm will get away from that annoying trend.

Dragon Age your card will eat like butter, a better video card will not improve it at all, that said a quad core would help since DA is one of the few games which likes quad cores. You should be getting a similar frame rate as Mass Effect 2.


I don't have ME2, but I'll take your word for it that DA will make my 5770 its bitch. ;)

That's the card in my new iMac. Well, according to Apple, at least... Zalis - 29/10/2010 04:45:19 PM 533 Views
A 9800GT is roughly equivalent to a 5670. *NM* Aemon - 29/10/2010 04:58:07 PM 247 Views
I've no problem deferring to someone more familiar w/ recent cards. Zalis - 29/10/2010 05:44:20 PM 423 Views
Each architecture is different and better at different things. Aemon - 29/10/2010 08:16:14 PM 377 Views
Your card isn't an ati hd5670, it is about 75% as fast as an 8800gt Roland00 - 01/11/2010 01:34:47 AM 512 Views
Good to know. Zalis - 01/11/2010 01:45:15 PM 366 Views
ATI Mobility HD5730 is almost the same as the desktop ATI HD5670 but it is closer to ATI HD5570 Roland00 - 01/11/2010 01:32:01 AM 937 Views
One thing you didn't mention is what resolution you're trying to run at. Aemon - 29/10/2010 05:07:38 PM 386 Views

Glad to hear it's working. That kind of performance is much more what I'd expect from a 5670. *NM* Aemon - 31/10/2010 01:45:45 AM 172 Views
That didn't stop me from getting the 5770 so that I would have a "buffer zone" of peformance gains Macharius - 31/10/2010 01:11:35 PM 418 Views
Thanks for the update! This makes my choice easy *NM* BlackAdder - 31/10/2010 02:56:38 AM 197 Views

The HD5670 is meant to be a casual gamer card Roland00 - 31/10/2010 02:23:45 PM 446 Views

If you are not going to overclock, you should really consider this computer Roland00 - 04/11/2010 12:28:44 AM 530 Views
