PowerColor HD 5770 PCS++ 1 GB

W1zzard · Apr 11, 2010

PowerColor's HD 5770 PCS++ could be described as an evolutionary step from the HD 5770 PCS+, targeted at overclockers. It is the first HD 5770 that comes with a Volterra voltage regulator which allows software voltage control. This enables tweakers to get higher overclocks out of their card without complicated modding.

The price is mighty high, but considering you get 70% of the performance of a 5850, for ~56% of the price, it's in fact quite balanced when compared to the rest of the 5000 generation.
The problem here is that the overall price/perf ratio of this entire generation is too high

to much $$ over its little brother

Is overclocked and uses LESS power than reference design, well that's a first. Nicely done, but I still like my Vapor-X

These numbers are good, but we have seen higher clocks on the Sapphire HD 5770 Vapor-X which managed 990 / 1450.

That sure is a nice sample, mine crashed on MSI Kombustor with 950/1400 has to be core then seeing all these do over 1400 on memory. But nothing a little voltage bump don't fix, haven't just tweaked more yet.

Stock HD5770 has this famous Vapor-X heatsink too, but it is under the Batman shroud and can't be seen.

What PowerColor HD 5770 PCS++ brings is a Digital VRM + Voltera PWM.

Can we solder a PWM fan connector to this board?

$5 over its little brother, if you're referring to PCS+.

Well I wouldn't spend that much for only 25mhz more on the mem maybe on the core but you can easily overclock it to that. then spend that $5 on something you need

Yeah, but it runs 10C hotter and is more noisy idle than Vapor-X on load!

And that's why this model is also more expensive than the previous model, prefectly just.
(Now if they could only make 5850s like it, but cheaper
