your crusade
anybody but you happy,see my point*laughs*I repeat.............
"I would hope this thread accomplishes a few things.
First and formost, to warn potential less tech savy video card upgraders of this shady business practice.
Second, to have AMD and Nvidia fans rally together and show both Nvidia and AMD that this practice does not make its faithfulll customers happy.
Third, to try to stop this from happening again.
Quick question, does AMD still make 5770s or is it EOL?
do you venture outside much?Wee-ooo weee-oooo wee-ooo weee-oooo

I agree. Regardless of whether you're company agnostic, or fly fanboy colors for AMD or Nvidia, I think we can all agree that this sucks, doesn't matter who does it. I tend to prefer AMD products recently, and I understand why they re-badge things for the OEM channel, but to do it in retail is really ethically questionable.
Way to burn consumer goodwill up AMD. Dumb dumb move.
Besides, let's not forget they're priced the same.
USA,big world out there hm*laughs*They are?
There are 2 regular models of 6770's on newegg, Sapphire and Powercolor . Show me 2 5770 models from the same name brand that are priced equally.
I see the 6770 powercolor model as 14$ more shipped than the equally performing Powercolor 5770 and the Sapphire 6770 model as 10$ more shipped than the equally performing Powercolor 5770 and the 6770 come without a crossfire cable, a 10$ value.
If a half assed hdmi 1.4a spec on the 6770 model is worth 14$ and 20$ more, I guess its worth it.
quote from review.
"Update: AMD confirmed that the 6700 series only supports the HDMI 3D portions of the HDMI 1.4a spec. Apparently this is consistent with Northern Islands, whcih doesn't support 2K x 4K resolutions over HDMI either."

I feel bad for an idiot consumer who upgrades his 5770 to a 6770, but really is it that hard to use google before you drop over $100?
Do me a favor, calculate the average price of the 5770 on newegg.
no one in theyr right mind is gonna ask you for advice on anythingDo me a favor and use the same AIB partners and calculate. Sapphire and Powercolor.
If more partners make 6770's are posted on newegg I'll use them.
I'm not gonna Average 15 5770's with 2 6770's just so you think your right.

i couldnt give a flying fuuck your pms and friends list,*laughs*,Well I don't have 40 people in my friends list and over 600 PM's (alot of thanks you's) for nothing.
Is that a personal opinion? and has nothing to do with a 6770.
If it is I would consider that a personal attack/derailment, and would have to report it.
I'm just giving you the benifit of the doubt before I hit the nuke button.:hmm:

How about we just use the cheapest vs the cheapest?
I guess that wouldn't work either. 5770's are cheaper.
I used the 2 cheapest 5770's with the 2 cheapest 6770's.
That sounds fair.
edit: what I do see is the rebates disappearing for the 5770's and the prices going up. Mabe they want to make the 6770 look better?
Why did you buy a 460 HAWK and not the cheapest 460
What happend to all the great 90$/100$ deals on the 5770? There gone.
Everyone agrees that this re-badge is not welcome..
I think Happy has changed the title like what.. 5 times? Happy, you can convey your message while being overtly sensationalistic. Everyone agrees that this re-badge is not welcome.. especially when there are hoards of uninformed customers. Looking at the claims you make..hostility towards you is totally justified.
