If some early listings are to be believed, and they usually are, ATI's
HD 5750 cards will sell at €119, while the slightly faster HD5770 will
end up with a €149 MRSP.
The HD5750 packs a Juniper LE GPU at 700MHz and 1GB of GDDR5 memory
clocked at 1150MHz on a 128-bit bus. It has 1120 stream processors and
56 texture units. Of course, it supports DirectX 11 and shader model 5.
This sounds like a pretty tempting deal at just €119.
If you're after the HD5770, you will get an 825MHz Juniper XT GPU,
while the rest of the spec seems to be identical to the LE version. We're not sure about this, so take it with a grain of salt. The LE version might be a bit more crippled than the '70. While the HD 5770 will be somewhat faster than the HD 5750, we're really not sure the
125MHz higher clock is worth 25 percent more.
Windows 7 launches in two weeks, and as if that wasn't bad enough,
Nvidia probably won't have anything to compete with these cards in time for the
holiday shopping season. A DirectX 11 sticker on a new Windows 7 rig
sounds rather good, especially at these prices.
