ATI HD 5770 and HD 5750 Video Card Launch Roundup Review :: ASUS HD 5770 Card

Fan

Asus logo

PCI Expres

As can be expected from a HD 5770 launch card the ASUS card is a reference design. The heatsink has the ASUS logo on it and not much else. The fan is the same 47-fin fan found on the other cards in the lineup. The clock speeds on the ASUS card are exactly the same as the other cards in the roundup and performance will be identical.

Crossfire bridges

The rear of the card has the same mounting bracket and Part Number sticker as the other two HD 5770 cards. One thing to note is that the cards on launch day are pretty much identical in clock speeds and configurations. ASUS offers Smart Doctor and Voltage Tweak overclocking which I will cover in the bundle area.

IO

The I/O on the card is also identical in that there are two Dual-Link DVI-I ports, a Display Port and a HDMI port for monitor connections. With the ATI Eyefinity software you can attach three monitors to the card. Note to use three monitors you need to use the Display Port and either two DVI-I or a DVI-I and HDMI port. You can also attach analog monitors via adapters.
