HD 5770 vs HD 7750

[lancelionroar]

So, I'm about to upgrade soon, and I was planning on getting the HD 5770, but just today my friend suggested a 7750 as my budget could probably handle it, so I checked it out, honestly I couldn't find much helpful results on google, except a theoretical compare between the two of them on hwcompare.com which showed that the HD 5770 is better in terms of performance, while the HD 7750 is better in terms of power consumption, and I found a thread on these forums actually, but it was a HD 6770 vs HD 7750 instead, and since HD 5770 and HD 6770 are pretty much similar, I thought that thread would help, but that thread had both people saying the HD 7750 is overall better and others saying the HD 5770 is better, so I'm kinda confused here, I get that the HD 7750 consumes less power, but is it also better at performance than the HD 5770? I also see that the HD 7750 is slightly more expensive than the HD 5770, so I'm not really sure here, but what really matters to me now is to know which of them is better at PERFORMANCE? Also is the HD 7750 worth the extra money if I'm going for gaming? (Gonna be gaming at 1440x900)

HD 6850 is much better than both

 

[mouse24]

7750 is near the performance of the 5770, 5770 = 6770, only difference between the 7750 and the 5770/6770 is a very very minor performance difference and uses around 60w + requires no external pcie power connection.

This line here is all you needed to say: "Gonna be gaming at 1440x900"


For the 5770 vs 7750, honestly newer is better, they're both roughly on par, bear in mind the 7750 is 2 generations above the 5770, it doesn't work as hard, it simply works smarter (read:less power hungry) BUT: they're both ENTRY level cards, and gaming even at Medium would be pointless.

See:http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2012/02/15/amd-radeon-hd-7750-1gb-review/6

Now, back to your statement, I concur with the above..

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102908 $129 (after rebate, or $145 upfront)

Vs $130 for the 30fps of the 7750
or $150 for the 40fps of the 6850

and that's full HD gaming with all the eye candy on, which means you are future proofed, if you upgrade to an HD monitor, you won't need to buy a new gfx card with the 6850, whereas with the 7750, any games (or even newer ones at your current resolution!) in HD are gonna be become stop motion video.

So, long story short, the 7750 if you re-heally have to skint and buy a cheap as entry level card. If you can find the cash, the 6850 is a much much better deal, both for now, and into the future!

7750 is the budget card dream for non power supply unit use. It's also useful for later down the road for upcoming games. Especially low budget gaming.

I really oppose this, I was using a 5670 at 1920 x 1080 and the performance was still adequate, Which is quite alot slower then the 7750/5770. Crysis on medium at a minimum of 30fps

 

[teh_gerbil]

What part do you oppose?

I am saying the 6850 is a better card, and the 7750 is an entry level card, you will get better value for money from a 7750.

The user did not stipulate he wishes to play on Medium, I (like many forum contributers) wish to inform the requester of the card that he will get the highest value for, at the best price.

Oh yeah no doubt the 6850 is by all means worth a measly 20 bucks definitely.

Its just the way you worded it that made me think you were saying the 7750 would be around 5 fps at 1920 x 1080 even on low.

probably me just misinterpreting.

 

[teh_gerbil]

Ah, sweet as. Naw, I would be lying if I said i wasn't exaggerating a tad!

 

[teh_gerbil]

Duplicated my post

 

[dthesleepless]

You know, I use the 7750 in my HTPC and I wouldn't be too upset if it was my only gaming card. It actually handles quite well at 1080p without AA (some games even run happily with AA), at 1440x900 it's going to be fantastic. It's quiet, it's cool, it barely draws any power, and it lets you turn settings up. Don't hate on the 7750.

 

[spentshells]

5770 ftw if you are gaming

 

[lancelionroar]

Still kinda confused here, so is the HD 7750 better performance wise at gaming aswel? Also I know that the HD 6850 is a much better card but I'm not sure I can afford it at the moment, USD isn't my currency sadly.

 

[lancelionroar]

Actually I just checked the HD 6850 out.. I MIGHT be able to get it depending on a few things.. First, what's the PSU requirement for the HD 6850? Also I'm using a dual core E5700 3ghz, so will the processor bottleneck the HD 6850 or will it be fine?

 

[mouse24]

Yup, the 7750 would be the best option. http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/538?vs=535

Thats a bit of an old dual core, I think the 7750 would be the smarter choice unless you were going to upgrade the proc sometime soon (say a month or 2) And considering you most likely won't need a psu upgrade. Unless its <250w

What psu do you have? (model + amp/rails please )

Sadly yes even the 5770 is held back by your CPU but not a horrible amount thus the 6850 would be as well.

I stopped gaining frames at 3.4ghz with the same cpu series

How exactly are they pointless at medium gaming? I own an HD5770 and it plays almost every game i throw at it at high settings with playable (50+) FPS.

And now to answer the question in the post

Performance - HD5770 wins
Features - HD7750 wins
Efficiency - HD7750 wins

The choice is really up to you and it doesnt really matter which one you pick.They will both give allow you to play games at high settings with good fps.

 

[mouse24]

So, if your powersupply can handle it, grab whichevers cheapest/has the best cooling (depending on if noise is a factor for you)

The HD 6850 is easily the the best choice it is much faster then the 5770 an 7750 an yea most likely it will bottleneck it and the Psu Requirement is 500W but the most it should draw is about 150W at full load so it should be fine with a 400W

I have to disagree on that, it has been confirmed by alot of tech geeks I've asked that the HD 5770 would NOT be bottlenecked by my processor, but yeah probably the HD 6850 would be.

Still confusing man.. I mean, in those results the HD 5770 wins at some, the HD 7750 wins at some, also I'm not really about my PSU but I'm sure even if I need a new PSU it won't be something major.

Thanks man, that is rather helpful and positive aswel 😛 yeah I've heard some good stuff about the HD 5770, but what really matters to me is the performance, but I still can't seem to decide which is better performance-wise at gaming.. You're saying HD 5770, others saying 7750, also what do you mean by "features" exactly?

Disagree all you want but I've seen and done it.

My old system was e5300 @4GHZ with a 5770

While overclocking I saw gains all of the way up to 3.6 but they really tapered off after 3.4

Games crysis warhead DOW II ROC Deadspace turok and L4D and a few others

 

[quilciri]

The 6770 performs considerably better than the 7750 under DX9.
The 7750 slightly outperforms the 6770 under Dx11 (except for games that use DX11 for a performance boost (WoW), instead of eyecandy)

The 6770 is essentially a rebadged 5770, with more current opengl support, blue ray support, and a few other things along those lines. Performance is identical.

The 6850 is a great card, but @1920 in dx11 can only push 30+ fps in more demanding games at low settings.

[lancelionroar]

Since the main comparison here is HD 5770 vs HD 7750 I need you guys to settle on one opinion, to avoid all the confusion, just a simple answer.. which one of these two will perform better in games? And if it's the HD 5770, should I get that or the HD 6770? As they're pretty much identical.
