XFX Radeon HD 5770 1GB GDDR5 Review

Packaging and Accessories

Typical to all of XFX’s new ATI cards, their HD 4770 1GB comes in a long and narrow box with an exterior design that is sure to stand out on any retailer’s shelf. While it may look to hold all of the information one would need, the box lacks mention of one critical thing: clock speeds.


There are also quite a few stickers with ATI’s Eyefinity logo but the one thing that stuck out most was the fact this card is offering a voucher for a free full version download of the game Battle Forge instead of DiRT. However, we have to remember that DiRT was included by ATI only with the HD 5800-series of cards and won’t necessarily be part of HD 5700-series packaging.


You can tell that XFX uses the same box for all of their HD 5000-series of cards since there is plenty of place between the HD 5770 and the outer edge of the box. That being said, the card doesn’t move around at all and the protection afforded here is more than enough.


As for accessories, we get the usual array of items including the Corssfire bridge, manual, driver CD, Molex to PCI-E adaptor, DVI to VGA dongle and XFX door sign. We already mentioned that a coupon for the full version of Battle Forge is included as well but with the download, you are also given access to a special edition in-game card: the Fallen Sky Elf.
