I am trying to decide between a few Radeon 5570 and a 5770 video cards. I currently have a 1280*1024 display but I am probably going to upgrade in the near future to at least a single 24" if not larger. I do not game but that may can in the feature as my current computer can't play anything modern. The way I would rank things in order of importance: 1) Quietness 2) Warranty/quality 3) Power dissipation 4) Performance.
The cards I have been looking at are the following:
5750 Cards:
PowerColor Go! Green AX5750 1GBD5-NS3DH
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814131346
I like that this is a passive card and seems to use relitively low power but I am very concerned about the quality of anything made by PowerColor
It is also very expensive and costs as much as the most expensive 5770.
VisionTek Radeon HD 5750 900301
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814129146
Seems to have a lifetime warranty. Uncertain how quiet it is.
XFX HD-575X-ZNFC HD-575X-ZNFC
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814150448
Has a double lifetime warranty which is nice but I am uncertain how quiet it is.
5770 Cards:
XFX HD-577X-ZNFC
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814150462
Double lifetime warranty
XFX HD-577A-ZHFC
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814150457
Double lifetime warranty
XFX HD-577A-ZNFC
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814150447
Double lifetime warranty
VisionTek 900300 Radeon
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814129150
Lifetime warranty
Are there any real differences between all of these XFX models? The cooler seems to be different but that is all I can really figure. Which is most likely to be quietest.
