Sapphire Radeon Vapor-X 5770 Video Card w/ free shipping

Sapphire Radeon Vapor-X 5770 Video Card w/ free shipping for $149.99

Feb 11, 2010 11:10 PM

With code VDAY10 you get $15 off the normal price of $174.99, and a $10 mail in rebate brings the total down to $149.99. UPS Ground shipping is free, too.

Overall it's $15 cheaper shipped than Newegg, and even less than elsewhere.

This is a sweet deal for the performance of the 5770. It's a great mid range card with DX11 and ATI's Eyefinity multiple monitor support. The Vapor-X cooling reportedly works very well, keeping the card much cooler and quieter than the reference design even when overclocking.

You won't find anything better for the price.

I'm getting one for the Eyefinity support to drive my 3840x2400 IBM T221 monitor at 20Hz.

20Hz? Isn't that a bit slow?

20Hz is slow for gaming but fine for daily use. If ATI gets Eyefinity working in SLI, I'll be able to get another 5770 and run the T221 at 41Hz for the full resolution.

My model, the DG3, can take one, two or four DVI inputs and scale them on the monitor to get 13Hz, 20Hz or 41Hz at 3840x2400 resolution. At 22.2" diagonal, that makes the pixel pitch just over 200 ppi. These are the highest resolution and highest pixel density monitors made (well, they aren't available new anymore) for less than $20,000.

Try to find a monitor that does 3840x2400 at more than 48Hz (that's what the T221 DG5 does) - you won't. These monitors were made for medical and professional work where refresh rates aren't as important as gaming. Until the standardization of DisplayPort v1.2 weren't even possible at reasonable refresh rates through anything less than multiple DVI and/or dual-DVI cables.

Oh, I plan on running the monitor at 1920x1200, 41Hz for the higher frame rates when necessary.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
