Whoo Posted November 14, 2010 I'm set on getting a Radeon HD 5770 for Christmas. I was originally going to get it from XFX, but now I'm reading about "white residue" that is appearing on some cards, and their refusal to provide refunds. Reading this makes me want to get it from a different manufacturer, but these cases seems rare. Thoughts/suggestions? 0 Share this post Link to post
Aliotroph? Posted November 14, 2010 No idea about that. The two I just got secondhand are from Sapphire. They seem as good as my olde Sapphire X1950 was. 0 Share this post Link to post
iori Posted November 14, 2010 I like sapphire, bought 2 4850s and my current 4870 of theirs. Gigabyte is a good choice too. I would avoid powercolor. 0 Share this post Link to post
Belial Posted November 14, 2010 I have a Gigabyte 4850. I'd pick that or Sapphire over anything else. 0 Share this post Link to post
Shaikoten Posted November 14, 2010 I've had two ATI Sapphire cards that have done fantastically and a Powercolor that has not. 0 Share this post Link to post
Ladna Posted November 16, 2010 I bought a 5770 (XFX) and had a problem where it would idle too low and there would be corruption - basically blue dots & crap all over the screen. Overclocking it even 1MHz fixes it. Other than that overclocking thing, no problems. No white residue, but I only ran it for 6 months before my HD died. 0 Share this post Link to post
