SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 5770 (Juniper XT) 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card 100283L
SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 5770 (Juniper XT) 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card 100283L

Pros: Runs cool has lots of power small size will fit in most cases. Made by Sapphire vents hot air out the back of the case low power needs. Plays all my games great 80 - 100fps in tomb raider underworld, call of duty 4 modern warfare,and resident evil 5 all at max settings and a res of 1920x1080. can't wait to get one more for crossfire.

Cons: none

Overall Review: havn't tried cyrsis yet waiting to get another 5770 and then trie it with settings at very high with res of 1920x1080. Newegg is the best.

Pretty good card

Pros: Price to performance. lots display options. Runs pretty silent. It will play some older games just fine. Bioshock 1 and 2 remastered / Dishonored/ Batman Arkham city and borderlands enhanced are some of the older games I tried.

Cons: Immature drivers [but knew that going in]. Cooler works fine but could be a little beefier.

Overall Review: I've been using this card for about 4 weeks and there has been some random crashing with vertical artifacts. The time between crashes varied 10 minutes to 1 hour and on other times it would go 5 hours strait no problems diffidently a software problem. As of driver version 31.0.101.3430 beta it has not given me any problems since this install. Rebar support and pcie 4.0 are very important for this card it likes all the bandwidth it can get. Overall I think this is a good product just needs the drivers to mature a little.

powerful little pc

Pros: Very impressive little pc it fells really solid when you hold it looks great uses very little power. They make it for business but it will play games pretty well. I've played 2013 tomb raider at normal settings 35 to 40 fps/ Dark Souls remastered 50 to 55fps both games at 2560x1440. Really snappy opening programs searching the web playing videos it just works really nice. Ran cinebench R23 just to see what it would do single core 1240, multi core 9062. I tried some other games also borderland 2 on high setting/ deadspace 1&2 on high settings/ bioshock2 remastered high settings at 1920x1080 no problems.

Cons: Gets loud when the fan speeds up and hot running. It won't let me dedicate more than 1gb to the integrated graphics but it shows in settings 2gb as a option might need a bios update but last time I checked P1.30 was the newest version which my unit has on it will have to see if they release a new version in the future.

Overall Review: I would recommend this mini pc its a little beast

Pros: Great game it is beautiful hours of fun.

Cons: none

Overall Review: need a strong card to play at max settings at 1920x1080 and keep it from stuttering using a rx580 8gb around 55 to 75 average sometimes higher just depends on where you are.

Pros: Good little card on a budget when cards where at craze prices will play old AAA games well. 2013 tomb raider at max settings at 1920x1080 with v-snyc off 45 to 60 fps average and rise of the tomb raider on high around 30 to 40 fps.

Cons: price off cards when I need a new one

Overall Review: Also used it to play shadow of the tomb raider at normal settings and 1920x1080 res got around 27 to 37 average most of the time.
