Seems like the 5770 is similar to nvidias 8600/8500/8400 when it first came out, sure it supports Dx11 but it just doesn't have enough POWA to give you that ultimate experience.
Then again, i read that the 5 series scales better than the 4 series in xfire...
Maybe one should just save up for a 5850 (or a more powerful card, 5870/5970) or get a 4890/4870. Buying a mid-range card from a new series seems pointless (the 8800s stayed around for a pretty long period of time and can still play most of the games out there at med-high settings @ 1080p compared to the low end 8 series cards which just sucked across the board)
.....decisions decisions
n.b. I didn't mention the ATi 2xxx series as they just ran hot and didn't perform that well either
Discuss(?).
