    Good performance but pricey

    Good bundle (coupon for Dirt 2), runs cool, attractive design (graphics on card and box), good performance

    Expensive

Design and Construction





The card is dressed from head to toe with the same jazzy graphics that makes it look very good, but sadly you won't be seeing any of that once it's in your system.





Just like the reference card, this once too has a complete back cover to protect the memory chips.





The front panel consists of two DVI-I, HDMI and display port connector.





The card is powered by two six pin connectors.

as the Hd 5750 needs only a measly 86 W on load u will be fine with coolermasters 450 W + or any decent brand 500W +

well i bought the hd 4870x2 in the uk for a measly Rs. 19500, because i first saw the prices here at aroung 32500! with only 1 mainline distributor in our country [rp], its obvious they make a killing.

its not RP's fault , the prices are high because the government of india makes importers pay huge taxes which finally are passed on too us poor consumers , and if anyone has any doubts about this u can refer to the iPhone example , the things costs 250 $ in US and in india its arnd 32K so u get my point + if u ship it interntationally u wont get support in INDIA

You guys ought to switch to a Core i7/i5 machine. You are definitely going to be cpu limited with a 3.2 GHz X9770. Why don't you guys get an official explanation from Rashi Peripherals as to why their stuff costs so much ? Or are you scared that they would stop giving you stuff to test :P

You guys are absolutely correct. Instead of paying 10k extra to RP, might as well pay for international shipping from some trusted online retailer and get it for much cheaper
