Xfx + 5770

[[GCA]Tim270]

So I have been on edge of actually getting a new GPU in the current market for quite a while, alas, the 5770 seems to be a reasonable price now.

So I was wondering, how is XFX's reputation?

Any Idea on how well this will run with my current Rig? (E8400 @ 3.0Ghz, 4gb RAM, win732 @ 1680x1050)

Does this look like a good deal?

Is the extra clock speed worth a tenner or is it easy enough to do yourself.

Don't really know about XFX, Google would be your best best.

A 5770 should be fine for that,

Also, does GPU memory type depend on the mobo?

I have a Asus P5Q deluxe, The 5770 uses GDDR5, will this conflict or no?

XFX in North America is a reputable brand. I bought few of them before and my current one is XFX. They used to have some representative on Bjorn3D forum and they actually function.

XFX has a very good reputation. They factory overclock there cards & generally but a custom heat sink/fan on the card. Plus you get a free copy of Assassin's Creed. They normally give you a heap of cool stuff with it too. e.g. sticker, display adapters, cables etc. In my oppinion they are worth the extra $$$ if you can afford it.

Ive had XFX cards before and never have had an issue. I would buy from them again. I think those cards are still out there running too.
