XFX Radeon HD 5770 from Dabs.ie - €87.49 incl VAT





Comes with free Colin McRae DIRT 2 and Stormrise download.


The Radeon HD 5770 cards are one of the best value graphics cards out there for performance per euro, and also the best sub €100 card.

They will not play the latest games on maximum settings or anything,
so they're for the gamer on a tight budget.

I've just ordered one for the sole purpose of playing Duke Nukem Forever, which should run with maxed out settings according to recent reports.


This is the single slot version so it should fit in practically any case.
The double slot XFX Radeon 5770 will run cooler and may be better for overclocking however.
But this single slot version will run much quieter.

Note that it doesn't have a HDMI port,
but 2 x DVI, and 1 x Apple mini / Display Port.

It will need one 6-Pin PCI-e connector from your PSU,
if your PSU lacks one, you can buy a molex > PCI-e adapter. (Not sure if it's included)


You will need a 500W PSU or higher to use this card.

This is the cheapest price I've seen around, much cheaper than amazon,
and even cheaper than overclockers.co.uk who have it on a sale price atm!

No question, this is an excellent deal. It's definitely not the best power/price ratio though.

True actually, its one of the top ones though. Changed accordingly.

Here's a nice chart for the best value graphics cards:

Note that they are affliate prices though, i couldn't find a 5830 anywhere that was cheaper than a 5770.

Edit: their affliates are Newegg and amazon, which is great really. (well for people in the US that is!)

The 6 Pin PCI-e to Molex Adaptor is included in the package:



The card is 8 and 3/4 inches long too, which may be of help to some people.
