    Yea, it started crashing, so I RMA’d it for a GTS 250. Much happier with the 250

    you don’t get any problems with the drivers using windows 7 64bit with 5770? I’ve read som reviews were they got it, and I’m going to buy a new computer with i5 750, Asus P7P55D PRO and Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit :)
    Should I worry?

    The 5770 is the best for price/performance ratio. When you go up to 5850 you pay double for about a 20% increase.

    If you don’t mind not having DX11 support don’t forget about the 4870 & 4890, both have performance advantage and you may be able to find a good deal.
