Awesome Card

MSI Radeon HD 5770 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card R5770 Hawk
MSI Radeon HD 5770 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card R5770 Hawk

Pros: Easy to install and update, even with Windows 7x64. Picture quality w/ DVI and FPS are Great. Going to buy a second one to run in Crossfire.

Cons: The Catalyst Control Center keeps coming up with error messages even after running all updates from MSI's website. DVI has better picture quality than HDMI.

Overall Review: I just bought a new ViewSonic 22" 1080p Hd monitor, and was a little disappointed in the picture quality. The DVI cable had a far better picture than the HDMI cable. That is my only reason for not giving it 5 eggs. Don't use the included disk if you have Windows 7, Get the updates from MSI's website.

Most Critical Review

Good card, but not as advertised.

BFG Tech GeForce 9800 GTX+ 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card BFGE98512GTXPBE

Pros: Sharp video display, and runs BF2 at max settings without any lag. A major upgrade from my 7900gt.

Cons: Specs were less than advertised. Fan/cooling duct not as pictured. 3 day shipping actually took 5 days from N.J. to Florida even with selecting rush processing. minus 1 egg for not as advertised, and another egg for slow shipping.

Overall Review: Not really a con, but the specs and even the box that it came in says that two 6 pin pcie connectors are required, but the one I recieved only requires one.

Excellent Board

Pros: Good layout. The board looks awesome with the blue LED's, comes with all needed cables as well as 2 crossfire bridges. MSI makes high quality products.

Cons: Not really a con, but the SATA connectors are hard to connect once the board has been installed into the case. I had to take it out and install the 2 SATA cables then put it back in. Could be because I have a mid-tower case.

Overall Review: running 36 degrees celcius with: Runs Great !!! Athlon II x2 3.0 2 - MSI R5770 Hawk 8 GB Corsair DDR3 1333 2 - WD 500GB HDD
