Best Radeon HD 5770 Card?

[Arkadrel]

My last 2 cards have been Saphire... they make good quality cards.

Saphire dont skimp on the quality of components, like some of the cheaper brands might/would.

Before you jump on the 460, are heat and noise a consideration?

Ah why the gtx460 768 is cool and quiet for its performance levels.

I have had two Sapphire cards with heatsink issues.

Temperature <> heat output. I thought we had covered that already.

The fact is the 5770 uses about half the power of the 460, therefore will produce about half the heat output.
