Box and bundle
The Sapphire HD 5770 comes in red and black box with a sword-wielding chick on the front of the box, and an eye-catching sticker proclaiming Dirt 2 in the box.
Besides the coupon for the Dirt 2 racing game -- which will use some DirectX 11 features, and will be available for download in the first week of December, the Sapphire HD 5770 comes with the following stuff: a DVI(M)-VGA(F) adapter , a molex-to-PCI-E power adapter, a CrossFire bridge, a manual, and a drive CD.
Overclocking
Judging from experiences with past HD 5770's, we knew right where to start our overclocking adventures:at the end. While our last HD 5770 tested was able to run at the CCC max of 960 MHz, this time around, the card stumbled after a while running at this setting. It wasn't until we brought it down to 950 MHz that things smoothly, with the fan blowing at 100%. As for the memory, we were hesitant to push the chips over a 1300 MHz clock.
With a default clock of 850 for the core, and 1200 for the memory, this is a nice overclock reached with the Sapphire HD 5770.
