The DH/ATI 5770 came today!
Wow guys, that was fast. I wasn't expecting DHL the day after Thanksgiving, but I had to drag my dogs off a guy with a yellow uniform today...... j/k Still shocked over winning this card to begin with. Nice stuff! Thank you!
My winnings included...... the card. It's an engineering sample, so no disks/adapters/manuals etc. which is fine with me. I made a 6 pin adaptor and installed it in the only PCIe X16 motherboard system I have, a Tyan Tomcat with a P4 3.4 550..... Hey it works and I'm poor. All my other systems are AGP.... This PCIe slot is version 1.0a so it's not even up to spec but it's running okay. Obviously I won't be pushing the limits of this card as I don't play games, but it's lower power settings and multi monitor capabilities with be worth it to me, so far it's been a very quiet card and running fine on an Antec 430watt supply.Now to figure out how I'm going to attach 3 monitors to this guy........

Re: The DH/ATI 5770 came today!
Thanks man........ sorry, no booze.
As I don't drink it was a BYOB.......The card is working well, even though it's very limited by the motherboard. It's very quiet and the graphics look great. Not being a gamer, I did download and install "Track Mania" and ran through a few of the tracks....... I know it's probably not the most graphically intense game, but it was free and looks really good to my eye..... runs flawlessly even on this P4 550. (yes a single core, HT) A few things I don't like..... and these exist only because my gear is so old...... It doesn't like CRT monitors..... anything besides a 1024X768 will either, not display, or BSOD needing a reboot. (I'm using the latest driver set and Win7) This is a driver issue, I believe, because in safe mode 1280X1024 does work and looks great. Not that I'm expecting extreme backwards compatibility it would be nice to use monitors that I have an excess of on this system instead of one of my few LCD units. If anybody knows a way around this, let me know Also....... Eyefinity, to use three monitors on this card the display port needs to be used for one of the screens...... something I don't have is a DP capable monitor. I was hoping to use this for my three monitor setup (3XCRT) that I'm now doing with two cards, an AGP ATI and a PCI Nvidia, but that's not going to work with this card....... because all I have is "old junque" ![]() Still, great card! and I'm honored to have won such a piece of tech........ If you guys know of any better free games to try let me know...... No FPS types, and I'm not interested in signing up for anything......

Evony might be demanding.... ha ha ha.
Demanding your money, my lord... The thread that comp_ali posted was quite awe inspiring. Anyhow, glad that card's doing the job for you, maybe direct compute will help your poor processor hobble until GOTY ![]() |

Re: The DH/ATI 5770 came today!
Yeah I had seen that thread on free games, didn't check all of them but wasn't seeing much that appealed to me....... That's why I asked.
As far as GOTY.... I don't post in that competition because I haven't played or even seen any of those games, so I would just be posting what others have said..... That's not quite fair. is it? I didn't compete last year either. That's your guys realm, I wish everybody luck and mark those threads as read........ I'm not here for the prizes you know?
