Hello,
This sounds really odd at first but bear with me.
Last week I ordered a HD5570 'DDR3' off eBay, but the DDR2 version turned up (naughty seller). I've installed it on my computer and I was making do with it.
Tonight, I decided to look on eBay again just to make myself feel better and see if my DDR2 card was going for a higher price.
Yet low and behold, I saw another HD5570 DDR3 on auction for cheaper and the seller had pics of it (with DDR3 clearly seen on the box).
Anyway I did buy it, and at a cheaper price.
So my question is: When the DDR3 version comes, will I have to change anything to do with the drivers, or is it all the same as the DDR2 version on the software side?
Also, for curiosity, here's the DDR2 card I bought: http://xfxforce.com/en-us/products/GraphicCards/HD%205000series/5570.aspx
and here's the DDR3 one I bought:
http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/product/?cid=1&gid=3&sgid=918&pid=317&psn=&lid=1&leg=0
Are there any known issues with the manufacturers or anything? Maybe one has louder fans?
Finally, I hope you can all reassure me that there will be a noticeable performance difference!
Thanks
