"Small" form factor? We're still looking at a double-wide PCI Express card, and with a huge honking fan on it I doubt it'll be cool either. Quite possibly the LAST thing you would want inside a passively cooled system.]]>Oct 13th 2009 9:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/ati-radeon-hd-5770-and-5750-steal-away-reviewers-hearts/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/ati-radeon-hd-5770-and-5750-steal-away-reviewers-hearts/And if I talk about a passive cooled system then I would remove the stock cooler and use a heatpipe system connected to an aluminium case which acts as a heatsink, the same I would do with the CPU. And because it has a low power consumption, especially in idle mode it's easily possible to run it without a fan. Under load, well, maybe one large silent, slow spinning fan is necessary to keep the case and thus the heatsink cooler. But even then, it won't be audible.]]>Oct 13th 2009 11:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/ati-radeon-hd-5770-and-5750-steal-away-reviewers-hearts/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/ati-radeon-hd-5770-and-5750-steal-away-reviewers-hearts/Oct 13th 2009 10:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/ati-radeon-hd-5770-and-5750-steal-away-reviewers-hearts/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/ati-radeon-hd-5770-and-5750-steal-away-reviewers-hearts/Oct 14th 2009 12:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/ati-radeon-hd-5770-and-5750-steal-away-reviewers-hearts/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/ati-radeon-hd-5770-and-5750-steal-away-reviewers-hearts/

I for one will be getting a 5750 for my cool and quiet HTPC.

Intel primarily is eating up market share left and right. Intel IS the netbook market and AMD still doesn't have a CPU on shelves to compete with Intel in the regular notebook segment. Desktops - it's a lot more even with the Phenom II's. Though how long that will last with Intel's new procs coming down the pipeline is up for debate.

]]>Oct 13th 2009 9:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/ati-radeon-hd-5770-and-5750-steal-away-reviewers-hearts/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/ati-radeon-hd-5770-and-5750-steal-away-reviewers-hearts/
Long before intel and nvidia saw the future for an integrated cpu/gpu machine AMD did. Unfortunately they over paid by BILLIONS for ATI to make this happen. The resulting cash flow shortage and contracting global economic situation really put the screws down on them. This made products suffer and they lost the speed and price crown.

It's a few years later now, the global economic crisis stopped getting worse, credit is available again, there have been several MAJOR write downs over the ATI deal and the chip foundries have been sold off. The products have rebounded in the cpu and gpu market and they have managed to stay out of the unprofitable netbook market. Losses are down sales are up. They should slowly be back on the way up.

That's my vision at least. I don't think they will go out of business. I also don't think they are going to rocket up the stock market in the next three years.]]>Oct 13th 2009 12:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/ati-radeon-hd-5770-and-5750-steal-away-reviewers-hearts/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/ati-radeon-hd-5770-and-5750-steal-away-reviewers-hearts/Oct 13th 2009 7:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/ati-radeon-hd-5770-and-5750-steal-away-reviewers-hearts/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/ati-radeon-hd-5770-and-5750-steal-away-reviewers-hearts/Oct 13th 2009 4:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/ati-radeon-hd-5770-and-5750-steal-away-reviewers-hearts/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/ati-radeon-hd-5770-and-5750-steal-away-reviewers-hearts/Oct 13th 2009 5:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/ati-radeon-hd-5770-and-5750-steal-away-reviewers-hearts/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/ati-radeon-hd-5770-and-5750-steal-away-reviewers-hearts/Oct 13th 2009 5:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/ati-radeon-hd-5770-and-5750-steal-away-reviewers-hearts/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/ati-radeon-hd-5770-and-5750-steal-away-reviewers-hearts/Oct 13th 2009 7:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/ati-radeon-hd-5770-and-5750-steal-away-reviewers-hearts/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/ati-radeon-hd-5770-and-5750-steal-away-reviewers-hearts/Oct 13th 2009 9:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/ati-radeon-hd-5770-and-5750-steal-away-reviewers-hearts/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/ati-radeon-hd-5770-and-5750-steal-away-reviewers-hearts/Oct 13th 2009 11:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/ati-radeon-hd-5770-and-5750-steal-away-reviewers-hearts/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/ati-radeon-hd-5770-and-5750-steal-away-reviewers-hearts/Oct 13th 2009 5:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/ati-radeon-hd-5770-and-5750-steal-away-reviewers-hearts/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/ati-radeon-hd-5770-and-5750-steal-away-reviewers-hearts/Oct 13th 2009 6:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/ati-radeon-hd-5770-and-5750-steal-away-reviewers-hearts/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/ati-radeon-hd-5770-and-5750-steal-away-reviewers-hearts/

last time i checked, not many games ran on linux without WINE. and if you use wine for most of your stuff, you should probably buy Windows.]]>Oct 13th 2009 6:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/ati-radeon-hd-5770-and-5750-steal-away-reviewers-hearts/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/ati-radeon-hd-5770-and-5750-steal-away-reviewers-hearts/Oct 13th 2009 9:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/ati-radeon-hd-5770-and-5750-steal-away-reviewers-hearts/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/ati-radeon-hd-5770-and-5750-steal-away-reviewers-hearts/
And what is that about "needing" wine for "most of my stuff"? Many lovely games have been ported to Linux, some of them featuring fairly complex graphics. You don't "need" wine to do anything, plus the notion that using wine is analogous to dual-booting Windows is egregious. I don't want to wait 2 minutes everytime I need to run some application. Wine is fine, it's free and works pretty great these days, even with complex games (Oblivion, HL2, World of Warcraft, all of these are rated "platinum" for being reliable under wine).

I'm still not sure where I or anyone else mentioned wine though. Were you set on "auto-troll"?]]>Oct 13th 2009 7:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/ati-radeon-hd-5770-and-5750-steal-away-reviewers-hearts/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/ati-radeon-hd-5770-and-5750-steal-away-reviewers-hearts/Oct 13th 2009 6:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/ati-radeon-hd-5770-and-5750-steal-away-reviewers-hearts/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/ati-radeon-hd-5770-and-5750-steal-away-reviewers-hearts/Oct 13th 2009 6:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/ati-radeon-hd-5770-and-5750-steal-away-reviewers-hearts/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/ati-radeon-hd-5770-and-5750-steal-away-reviewers-hearts/Oct 13th 2009 6:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/ati-radeon-hd-5770-and-5750-steal-away-reviewers-hearts/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/ati-radeon-hd-5770-and-5750-steal-away-reviewers-hearts/Oct 13th 2009 8:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/ati-radeon-hd-5770-and-5750-steal-away-reviewers-hearts/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/ati-radeon-hd-5770-and-5750-steal-away-reviewers-hearts/Oct 13th 2009 10:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/ati-radeon-hd-5770-and-5750-steal-away-reviewers-hearts/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/ati-radeon-hd-5770-and-5750-steal-away-reviewers-hearts/Oct 14th 2009 1:46AM
