MSI Readies Redesigned Radeon HD 5770

Optix · Nov 27, 2009, 03:53 PM

MSI is readying a new redesigned ATI Radeon HD 5770 1 GB graphics card. The new R5770-PM2D1G probably replaces the existing one with the same model number, which uses the AMD reference design PCB and cooler. The new design is also looking like a reference design since other board partners are also opting for it, albeit it looks to be simpler. This could also be cheaper to manufacture, and could help bring down prices of the Radeon HD 5770.

Ugly cooler design but hooray for MSI for trying to bring the price even lower.

I figure that someone would say something about the cooler. Have a look at the MSI 5750 and I think you'll see some glaring similarities.

They are the same apart from the numbers.

Yeppers.

I would like to see a side by side comparisons of each card at idle and under load while at stock clocks and while overclocked. Also power consumption would be nice to see which heatsink needs more juice.

Personally I like the old heatsink myself since it kicks all of the air out the back of the case.

IMHO the biggest deterrent with these cheaper PCB designs is the lack of any fan control. With only to wires on the lead and a 2 wire header, there wont be any type of fan control will there? Not even bios throttling.
