I jumped on the same deal, currently still "processing" for me after ebillme was completed.

Pick up 2 of these and put them in a crossfire configuration and you would tear through games, same if not better performance then a $400 Radeon 5870.


After looking at reviews of the new Nvidia video cards, crossfired 5770's is the best deal. For around $250, you get amazing performance about equal to a Radeon 5870, cool and quiet running video cards, and DX11 support.

I wish the Anandtech review of Fermi would have had crossfired 5770's in there so we could have a better perspective of how it compares, but if you look at Anand's old review of crossfired 5770's, it's right up there with a 4870X2 and 5870.

Bought one of these a couple weeks ago, and the rebate site isn't working.

Me:
I can not register the rebate for my video card. The website has been down since I bought it. This is the same site that you list on the current rebate. Please advise what I should do. http://www.powercolor.com/eng/support_rebate_1.asp

Them:
We apologize, but we've checked with the manufacturer and apparently their website is under maintenance. Therefore, please contact the manufacturer at 909-468-5100 regarding how to register for the rebate for the time being. Thank you


They should remove the rebate from the product page since there is no way to actually get it...

Try the following link: http://www.powercolor.com/eng/support_rebate.asp. I found it by starting at www.powercolor.com and going to their rebate center.

Can anyone speak to the noise level of this particular model? This is the older model without displayport or eyefinity.

Actually... it's the NEWER model without displayport or eyefinity. It's a 5770 V3.

No way to select zzf as the store when going through there.

EDIT: My link now forwards to yours, but zzf is still not on the list. I sent them a message to see what I should do.

Very cool and quiet.

Got this card as well. But i bought it from Newegg. Still haven't received the rebate yet. But they do have it on record. Great card for the buck. I can also say that this card is very very quiet.

no eyefinity?


pass.

pass.

Well it supports it, but the lack of displayport makes it harder to use.

Please keep us updated on this. I have also picked up the card, mainly due to the price. I went with the eBillme route so it came out to be $143 pre rebate is okay, but $123 would be nice.

Its there now!

Nice, thanks for the heads up. Question, what are you using as your "invoice/ sale receipt" for the rebate? I checked on zipzoomfly and I was only able to obtain documentation for Order Status, which seems to be unacceptable, as per the rebate instructions.

Is this deal dead now?

You have to email customer support at zzf and they will send you a pdf.

Yep, looks like the rebate's over.

Does Nvidia have anything in the pipeline at this price point that matches or exceeds the 5770 performance? I need a new card for a new build in the next month or so.

The midrange Fermi derivatives have been rumored (by Fuad) for June. Considering you won't see NV's released high end parts until mid April I wouldn't count on midrange parts until mid to late summer at the earliest.

While the performance should match and slightly exceed the 5770 I doubt the prices will be anywhere near low $100s. The die size of the midrange parts will be about the same as a 5870 and 5850, and the PCB will be of comparable complexity. Read: $250 for 10-15% more than a 5770 in August if you're lucky.

At the moment your choice would be the GTS250 for a slightly cheaper and lots slower, GTX260 for roughly as fast and 25% more expensive, and GTX275/285 for faster and a whole lot more expensive. And OFC no DirectX11 with the current midrange NV offering.
