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.

I had other questions about the 5700-series beyond what the press briefing covered, and Dave Erskine got back to me with some emailed answers. Me: If you add a 2nd 5700 series card to a computer, can you run 6 monitors? Dave: Not at this time, the current driver release only supports a 3x1 display group. Me: Can the hardware tessellation built into the HD 2-, 3-, and 4000 series take advantage of the hardware tessellation support now part of DX 11? Read more
