Top performance - shortcomings in compatibility

Unlike older serial numbers, one needs for this card here no bios update for the graphics chip.
However, as with the entire 57xx series, it may be that there are interoperability problems with some motherboards.
If you have a Board of Asrock, you can still lucky. Here a BIOS update is available (easy to install, with no diskette etc).
With Gigabyte boards for example, there are already major problems. I got the card with my old Gigabyte board does not run and I've bought a new one. What I can not say for sure looks with other manufacturers unfortunately.
In the ratio of price and performance, the 5770 is, however, currently a very good choice. Nvidia me nothing like it is known at the moment.
In addition, the Vapor-X version is again a little quieter.
A big minus there but for the many compatibility issues. You should really assume that a board with PCI-Express, also each PCI Express card accepted. Therefore, there are such standards.
