Is there still a six pin PCIe on this one?
This one will be more expensive than any other...right?
I mean, the cooler is smaller and all, but since it's a special feature, marketing will pull the cash on this one, I'm sure...
Good to know powercolor can still be able to surprise me...
That's cool.
Two of these, an eVGA P55 Micro, an i3 550, and ASUS Xonar, and a cut down GT240 for PhysX all stuffed into a mATX case would make a killer sleeper LAN rig.

but i think its awesome, + the 5770 was pretty cool i think
much cooler than 4850, 260, 9800 etc
GTX 470 from Galaxy. If you mean "fastest single-slot card ever released", then Quadro 4000.

A price near $100 each.......
Single Slot Triple 5770s in my I7 920 rig
or
Quad 5770s in my AMD Phenom II 920 rig
I don't mind single slot cards as long as they run cool enough. My single slot 4850s have been really great and they have a rep for running really hot. They don't with the fan at 40% in dual or triple crossfire. They operate near silently. (Their drawback is only 512 megs of RAM) Cases with great airflow make the difference. Honestly I probably wouldn't buy the 5770 but it is real nice to see single slot cards with decent performance still around. I remember the Galaxy GTX 470 but that is really long and not as practical. I don't think single slot cards should ever need more than one PCI Express connector so it is easy to team up a bunch for triple and quad crossfire without much heat. Otherwise for dual cards with dual power connectors it is probaly best to use shrouded dual slot coolers. When the cards make more of a difference in performance I will consider an upgrade but if you have higher performance Directx 10/10.1 performance graphics cards you really probably won't get much out of using these 5770s.
How many versions of the 5770 can Powercolor possibly make? They must have 15-20 designs for the 5770 :laugh:
