Don't know how the situation is stateswise, but in my country the 5570 is more expensive then a 9600GT which performs better...

an ati x700 will push CS:S to + 100 FPS maxed everything with a AMD 64 3500

I HIGHLY DOUBT this GPU would have ANY problems maxing anything released before 2008

You do know Crysis was released in 2007, don't you?

Do some research, the patches were mostly bug-fixs. Look at the Crysis pictures, it's still CryENGINE 2 the entire time, all the hype was from v1.

The 5570 is a small form factor card, that's more appropriate for machines that need low power requirements, or cannot support full form factor cards... like HTPCs. And, in that regard, it seems like it has lower power and heat than even a GT240, according to the article here on Tom's

This is NOT for bang for your buck gamers. There are better choices if an $80 gaming card is the goal.

[citation][nom]Sushi Warrior[/nom]Oh my god, I am losing faith in Toms SO fast. This card loses to a GT240 by a good margin. This is NOT the best gaming for $80. Dipshits.[/citation]You do understand that the GT240 they used for comparison is the Zotac GDDR5 Amp! Edition which is designed to perform better than the reference GT240? Do you also understand it is without DirectX 11? Not that you even have 3 displays, do you know it can only support 2? And wouldn't you know it cost $92?

All things considered, ATI 5570 is the better buy; especially if Zotac decides to make an "AMP!" edition and pair it with GDDR5...

[citation][nom]alvine[/nom]i wonder how it would run css and older games[/citation]
I'm sure it can handle cascading style sheets with no problem. I'm a bit surprised you think of it as a "game," however...

Mr yam,

this article offends me.

The 1 gb 4870 for $139.99 ( plus free shipping ) from the egg is a much better bang for the buck for gamers than you suggest.

Your key word is "gamers"

and it took in about a minute to find a better deal than you suggest. I'm sure I could find an even better deal with more time.

HD5570 +/- = HD3870... So, It plays games well at 1280x1024... Just to think in a HD3870 and seeing this HD5570 and they have similar performance, is just unbelievable...

With cards like this being released, it gets me very interested in how DX11 develops and whether, when it is more fully implemented in games and better optimized, it will provide better performance with a better experience.
