MSI Radeon HD 5770 HAWK Video Card Review
PC Perspective have posted a review of the MSI Radeon HD 5770 HAWK graphics cards, which features a custom PCB and an aftermarket cooling system.
Let's see what they had to say:
"The custom design, outstanding cooler, tweaker features, solid Afterburner support, and the competitive price make this THE HD 5770 card to have. The small stock overclock allows it to get a couple of frames on the competition, but the big key here is the ability to have a stable card running at 950 MHz + with a decent overclock on the memory as well. Once in overclocked form, the R5770 beats out the HD 4870 pretty handily in nearly everything.
The build of the R5770 is outstanding. They use a lot of quality components, the quality of the soldering is excellent, and the use of more power phases in this situation leads to a more efficient and more overclockable card. At stock speeds the cooler is virtually silent, and the card stays cool no matter the load. Once things get overclocked a bit, the temp does still go up, but the card never reaches dangerous temperatures."
Best Radeon HD 5770 on the market? Absolutely, and surprisingly it's only about $10 more expensive than the reference models.
