It has a memory clock speed of 1.2 GHz, memory data rate of 4.8 Gbps and memory bandwidth of 76.8 GB/sec. The maximum board power is 108 Watts while idle board power is 18 Watts. It supports a PCI Express 2.1 x16 bus interface, has DirectX® 11 support (Shader Model 5.0, DirectCompute 11, programmable hardware tessellation unit, accelerated multi-threading, HDR texture compression and order-independent transparency), OpenGL 3.2 support, image quality enhancement technology (up to 24x multi-sample and super-sample anti-aliasing modes, adaptive anti-aliasing, 16x angle independent anisotropic texture filtering and 128-bit floating point HDR rendering) and features ATI Eyefinity multi-display technology.
The ATI Radeon HD 5770 has three independent display controllers that can drive three displays simultaneously with independent resolutions, refresh rates, color controls, and video overlays; and display grouping function that allows for combining multiple displays to behave like a single large display. The ATI Radeon HD 5770 also features ATI Stream acceleration technology, ATI CrossFireX™ multi-GPU technology, and ATI Avivo™ HD Video & Display technology. This includes integrated DisplayPort output of up to 2560 x 1600 and integrated HDMI 1.3 output support with Deep Color, xvYCC wide gamut support and high bit-rate audio. It also supports AC-3, AAC, Dolby TrueHD and DTS Master Audio formats and has ATI PowerPlay™ power management technology. The ATI Radeon HD 5770 is compatible with Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP. The HD 5770 cards are supported by a dozen add-in-board companies, including ASK, Asus, Diamond, Gigabyte, High Tech, MSI, Sapphire, Tul/Power Color, Visiontek and XFX.

Little has changed since the first time we took a look at Radeon HD 5770 Crossfire performance some 8 months ago now. Pricing has remained unchanged, as AMD has seen no reason to drop the $160 US price tag of the Radeon HD 5770, keeping the cost of a Crossfire configuration at a little over $300 US. Furthermore the performance of Crossfire is still just as strong in today’s more modern games when compared to those used for the first round of testing. Read more
