XFX Readies Pair of Single-Slot Radeon HD 5770 Graphics Cards

[Mad-Matt]

These look very nice, and would be a nice upgrade for a cramped case and/or funny slot alignment. The picture seems to show only 1 crossfire connector. The cooling appears to be the same as the sapphire single slot coolers on my 3870 cards (apart from the colour). and should be fine with fan control, although there will likely be no overclocking going on with the stock cooler.

i can only dream about a single slot 5870 or other high end cards

A single slot 5870 will need a cooler that takes another extra two slots.

every new new family of gpus seems to run hotter the previous ones.
if a high end gpu can be air cooled by a single slot, that would be an innovation for my mid tower case.

5770 single slot fan control

I would like to get this card also but what ive done with my 4850 ati single slot card is to run the fan plug on the card to one of the spots on my fan controller so i can control the fan speed manually.. It has worked well with my 4850...Id do the same on this xfx version or powercolor version whichever i decide on..
Im going to wait a little while and see if prices drop some on these cards...

All those new slim HD5770 make me wonder if the card is selling well.So far,the XFX is the sexiest of them.

The card is selling really well or atleast it was selling as an outstanding mid-range card until the GTX 460 came.

Yeah, they are selling a lot. Usually, the best selling cards aren't the uber performing one's. Usually its in the $100 - $200 range. Thats the sweet spot you want to aim for if you are in the gpu selling business. At the price the 5770 is, its really appealing for the performance levels. It ain't that much challenged market wise. Maybe that'll change when the gts450 comes out.

looks like i am going to win this card on Ebay, now i know why no one else bid on it, so sounds like the adapter is not going to work unless you spend 100.00, so the next question is where do i find a monitor that will work for this card, with out busting the bank. any suggestions.
at least the card is new and i am going to get it below wholesale even with shipping so it's good i didn't pay retail. that's why the person that got it for Christmas is selling the card . will not work with his system. oh and if anyone is interested in this card i will sell it cheep just to get my money back.
