5750 or 5770 brands?

[aussie123]

Looking at a new GPU for a build. The Gigabyte version of the 5770 is $60AUD more expensive than the Gigabyte 5750, but the XFX 5770 is $30AUD more expensive than the XFX 5750. Is the price difference between the two something I should take notice of? and Brand-wise, what is a better brand (and card 5750 or 5770)

btw planning on running it on
Asus P7P55D Evo
Core i5 750 2.6ghz
Antec TruePower 650w

Currently all HD 57xx and HD 58xx use the reference design and they all roll off the same production lines from a handful of OEMs.

The only differences are basically in warranty and the quality of customer service. Some may bundle games while others do not.

Ok, what would the recommendation be 5770 or 5750 (going with the XFX)?

my recommendation is XFX 5770 . it is the best of mainstream cards for the future . it would be nice to add one later when prices drop further , and they will surely drop as even the "cost effective" 512mb 4870 debuted at 300 , now its 125-135 usd .

Thanks, def going with the 5770, is the 650w PSU enough for it an the other components?

 

[cyberkuberiah]

I'm going to be running mine on a Corsair 450 watter once I get my mobo back from RMA this week.

I went with the XFX 5770 and it should be plenty for a media center system and occasional gaming.

Its a lot of card when you calculate the new features you get...
