Time to update :D

only the recommended wattage matters. he could have ZERO pci-e pins for all it matters. they sell (and often include at least one) molex -> pcie power cables anyway.

Trust me, i know ive got the write slot, my PSU is SLI capable.

 

Has anyone got ny ideas for £100 mark? I need something good, reliable and can play the latest games, like COD MW2 on high end graphics.

Anygood?

[ReGIONALS]

yes definatly

the 5750 is the lowest in the 5*** series but is also a great money saver and also runs dx11,

search youtube for videos of people playing mw2 with a 5750 or find benchmarks on google.

The 5770 is basically a remade 4870 I think. I believe the 4890 performs a tad faster than the 5770. So if you don't care about Eyefinity and DX11 then a 4890 is fine.

So what are the connectors for on the card ?

[Wrathek]

... those are the pci-e power we're talking about. im saying they sell cables that take a molex (the 4 pin connectors from a PSU) and convert it to those 6-pin/8pin pci-e connectors.

ok but ..so you do need to plug them in...so if you have 2 6 pins port you need what 4 molex...thats mess in there now

[Wrathek]

no.. you need 1 molex, which, as akaru's pic shows, can be at LEAST 2 pci-es chained together.

Hmm, actually I just went to a good tech site and lo and behold:

 

The 5750-5770 are only dollars apart with a decent boost in performance. The 5870 however costs $300ish and is on par with the gtx260 and even better a Radeon HD 4890, both of which cost only around $200.

What's the big deal? ZOMG EYEFINITY GIVES ME 20 SCREENS TO MASTURBATE TO.

 

If you REALLY want a 5000 class DX11 card, wait till Nvidia brings out theirs in a few months and then prices will drop. Ignore Regionals, his daddy is probably one of the wage slaves on the ATI's dev team.
