Tempting, I’m gonna get that SO LONG AS I KNOW IT FITS. 
The Sapphire version which shouldn’t be far off from the HIS version is:
Item Height: 6 centimetres
Item Width: 25 centimetres
How do I find out the max supported height and width for my computer?
EDIT: The cards are all sold out for that price, I tried buying one but by the time I registered it ran out, seriously annoyed. 
If that deal is over, I’d strongly recommend the 5770. It’s a great value, and if the prices translate from USD to GBP, then it’s one of the best price/performance cards you can buy (aside from the 6850, which is an incredible value, especially when crossfired, seeing as how when overclocked one of these can outperform a 5850).
So now I’m choosing between the 5770 and the 450.
Sucks that the deal ended 
I was actually considering one myself.
I would recommend the 5770 then, at this point. Like I said, gotta 5750, blah blah, runs stuff well, blah, see last post blah
Also, I wouldn’t worry about size tbh, if it’s an average mid-ATX case, then anything should fit, just. Hell, I even measured and a 6990 would fit in my case, and those things are MONSTROUS
Yeah, it really sucks. I was really up for getting that card, it was a great offer for what it is, I would’ve got that one hands down.
5570 seems pretty good, out of stock on OC UK at the moment, what about the 6770?
If you’re deciding between an AMD/ATI xxxx and an nVidia 4xx, I’d go with ATI. The GTX 400 series in nVidia apparently had a lot of performance and cooling issues. If you can get a 550 for a comparable price, well… I literally know nothing about AMD/ATI, because I’ve always used nVidia and had a great experience with them, so my unqualified recommendation would be to go with the GTX 500 series card. (I myself have a GTX 580.)
My original intention was to go with the GTS450, but since you’ve highlighted the performance and cooling issues, I’m thinking of sticking to AMD/ATI, since it’s what I already have, I’ve always wanted nVidia, but this is just proving a bit hard to decide on.
I have an nvidia card and don’t have any problems. Granted, it’s a 500 series, but your decision should be between the AMD 5770 or GTX 550
This is where I’m getting that info, by the way, just in case you want to read it for yourself. It pertains exclusively to the 480 vs. the 580, but I’d imagine that most of the design choices present in the 480 would also be there in the “lesser” 400-series cards.
The 400 series was notorious for sometimes running between 90-100C under a medium-heavy load.
The 500 series is fantastic, however. I have a GTX 560 and it runs cool and extremely quietly, and it destroys everything I’ve thrown at it except for Metro 2033 which I’m convinced is impossible to max out at 60 fps.
4.2Ghz quad core (no hyperthreading) + 8gb ram + hd 6970 = max dx11 20~30fps
The performance hierarchy is GTS 450 -> HD 5770 -> GTX 550 Ti -> HD 6850 at stock performance. Keep in mind that higher end GPU’s require at least 1 PCI-e 6/8pin connector, though most manufacturers will include an adapter to convert 2 molex connectors into 1 PCI-e 6 pin connector, also make sure your PSU has enough power to run the GPU. And make sure you have room in your case for a dual slot GPU, and can fit the length of the new GPU.
[i]A note on the 400 series, the GF100 GPU primarily have problems with power consumption and heat in comparison to ATI/AMD’s HD 5000 series, the GTX 480 being the first to be looked at and the worst example of Fermi as far as heat and power consumption goes.
The GTX 470, which was generally overlooked, was a much nicer card, though it still ran hot, it would generally stay between 85c and 94c during moderate to intense gaming, as for price, in the US the Price/Performance compared to ATI/AMD’s HD 5850 was far better by June of 2010, you were able to find sales that included MIR’s that lowered the price of the GTX 470 to $300, the HD 5850 usually averaged about $315 to $330.
The originally flashed down and later crippled GTX 465 was also a very poor example of the GF100, and was quickly replaced with the 1GB GTX 460 GPU which uses the GF104, it performed on the same level, but was cooler, more power efficient and cheaper, and is the most popular of the 400 series.[/i]
So now judging from those I’m choosing between the 5770 or the 550.
Does anybody know much on the 6770?
The 6770 and 6750 are re-branded GPU’s, the 6770 is the same as the 5770 and the 6750 is the same as the 5750.
Ah right, thanks for that, are there any differences at all between each of them or are they more or less the same as you said?
As far as specs and performance they are the same at stock.
Found a review, in most benchmarks the 6770 was slightly slower than the 5770 (which confuses me): https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=sapphire_hd6770&num=1
Ah right, I see. That’s strange, well I’m leaning towards the 5770.
Is this 5770 the wrong one to look at? It says Grade B but I wouldn’t know the difference, it’s £50, cut down from £96.
You always take a chance with refurbished cards, but you can find good deals, provided it was properly tested and approved it should work to its specification.
I have a 5870 and it’s fantastic, though I’m not sure if it’s within your price range. But even a little less (not sure how the 5770 compares to it) would still be a very good GPU.
