I use the 5770 on a Q6600@3ghz with 6gb of Ram, win 7 x64.
I recenly replaced a 50" 720P set with a 46" 1080P set and have been stunned by the level of performance i'm getting with this card at 1080P. I never gave the card credit for much over 1680x1050 because frankly I was surprised I wasn't crushing my game collection at 720P, but I realized i'm CPU bound at 720P. But using the card at 1080P i'm very happy with performance, I don't have benchies, but i'm the more pleased with the card knowing that for the price i'm getting solid performance at 1920x1080. Previously I thought 5850 would be min needed for gaming this res, but the 5770 does fine. Will try to post numbers later, but quick summary of my games.
Vsyn on, 16xAF all games, AA set to MSAA via CC (not adaptive or SSAA) and used depending on title
Metro 720P DX11 High Tess/DoF off - 60fps with occasional dips to 30
1080P DX11 High Tess/DoF off - 28-40 fps
Just Cause 2 - 4xAA In game settings maxed exept for shadows to medium and high res shadows set to off.
720P 60FPS with frequent dips to 30fps
1080P hovers around 42-44fps in game with almost no dips
I don't know why i'm not getting slammed to 30fps in this game at 1080P like I do when playing at 720P. 5770 runs the game great though IMO
Crysis Warhead I have the 24hz bug at 1080P, not gonna sort out, not huge fan of gameplay.
Dirt 2 NoAA other settings maxed locked at 30fps during gameplay
Just wanted to let gamers using 1920x1200/1080 monitors who are on a budget that the 5770 provides good performance there, subjective to me of course without hard numbers to look at. For ~$150 it makes the card all the more worthwhile IMO.
Half Life 2, Ep1, Ep2, NFS Shift, Mass Effect 2, all play maxed at 1080P just as well as at 720P (60FPS locked, occasional dips). GTAIV plays same at 1080P as at 720P (Read: Not Great)

. I was most geeked at gaming at 1080P, never ran games at res that high. I've got the Egg Cooler and run the card at 900/1300. I've read the reviews, but my impression was that the 5770 wouldn't handle 19x12 because of mem bandwith limitations.
