lol, have you been in a cave for 5 months? this has been discussed to death back when it was actually news.

 

[Spikesoldier]

old news you should see the 6770 attack thread on the merits of 'protecting the customer'.

 

[Madcatatlas]

hey atleast AMD says: you can crossfire a 5770 with a 6770. The only difference between the cards is apparantly the 6770 having improved HD playback hardware or something along those lines.

Apparantly they also cost the same. AMD should have gone for Nvidias tactic on this particular issue, would have earned them alot more cash with all the ignorants out there.

I think the argument was that the 6770 was more expensive.but now it's the same price or cheaper

Hi,

Pics like that have no place here in the tech forums. Please don't do it again, this is not OT where most things like that are allowed.

Regards.

I'm still waiting for a thread about the gtx560 versus the gtx560 oem, and the gtx560ti vs the gtx560ti oem. Each version uses different chips clocked differently, but bear the same exact name. So, someone buys a dell with a gtx560 and gets a completely different chip than what was launched. I havnt seen any reviews of these oem version either.

why mess up something that did such a great job for amd in that price segment?

 

[LOL_Wut_Axel]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLD news.

Meh, who cares. It's the same price.

 

[formulav8]

I still don't like the rebadge even though they are the same price. blah

The 5750 also rebadged to the 6750. Was just up at my local Best Buy, they had them in stock. What's nice about this model ,it's a single slot card. So at least people off the street can get a half-decent card, and it will fit most home computers. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/XFX+-+AT...6750&cp=1&lp=1
