5750 & 5770 Crossfire

[Alex@Nosound]

Anyone running this?

i'm currently stuck with a 5750 1GB and since my local shop don't have any in stock i'm thinking of mixing it with a 5770 1GB

just want to know if theres any problems (stuttering ect)

thanks.

Should be fine but of course it will perform only as fast as two of the slower cards would.

This is not true at all.

A 5750 with a 5770 performs better then a 5750 crossfired but not quite 5770 crossfired. Right in between.
With a little overclock it will beat a 5870 easily.

Proof........

My 4870 and 4890 run together admirably and better than just the 4870 alone, certainly.

And in case someone reads this post in the future, you can crossfire cards that are not the same brand (e.g., sapphire and XFX).

There is a misconception, SLI downclocks the cards to the lowest common denominator, Crossfire doesn't. The 5750+5770 combo performs exactly halfway between 2x5750 and 2x5770 so you aren't wasting money by mixing the slower with the faster. No idea what kind of microstutter there is though but I don't recall seeing any issues in the xbitlabs review.

Instead of doing that buy a 5870 which will eat 57xx Xfire ,

I dont know what your point on this one....

So you can crossfire a 5870 with 57xx?

Sweet post Spinjam

Not a big difference.. very similar in results but edge goes to higher model number always!!!

5770 + 5770 seems to be the sweet spot for $300 gaming.

Whoa, I didn't even know you could crossfire 2 different cards (guess that misconception carried over from SLI). Can you only do that within each generation (4000 series w/ 4000, and 5000 w/ 5000, and so on)?

NO,just cards in the same series 58xx with 58xx, 57xx and 57xx and so on.
