I give credit to the hd5770 for having dx11 and using less power so the $$$$$$ you save on electric bills might pay for itself.
Yep ATI made huge improvements in idle power consumption. 18 watts idle for HD5770 and 27 watts for HD5870/50 is a significant difference compared to what HD4870/90 used at idle.
Check out how this can add up over time---->http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/...er,review-31495-4.html
I agree.. ATI has made a big leap in terms of performance and power consumption because the 5 series made it happen and its a good thing to have if you spend most of your time only just surfing the net and 2-3 hours on gaming...
