I installed the XFX HD5770 powered up and Nothing,,,No MOnitors, no keyboard,,computer was on but
no response..I put back the old x800 card and all ok...
I did check and the card needs 450W PS I only have a 300W..I'm going to install a new 450W PS
and see what happens..
If you know of this problem please advise....

You probably need that bigger power supply. Also make sure you have your 6-pin pci-e power cable plugged in for the display card, it will remain blank unless you plug the power cord in. :)

If that's the min I would go higher and don't skimp on the power supply one of the most important parts of the comp if not the most important. Power is the start of many problems. Always research what you are buying ahead of time.

You will need a minimum of a 750W high quality power supply.

Thanks all...What are the Certified Power Supplies that AMD recommends?
I was running to best buy here and picking up a Antec 750W
-
Antec power supplies are not very good. They used to be good supplies, but turned to junk a few years ago. If you insist on getting Antec, be very careful about how they show the loads distributed over the rails.
They will typically show loads that total up to a much higher load than the power supply can handle as they use multiple rails and show the max for each rail.
For instance, they may show 50A for each 12V rail, but 50A is the total combined for all the 12V rails. It is cheesy marketing at best.
-
Thanks,, Think I will look into another one...Just hoping that is the problem...I will post the results here..
-
Try an OCZ Modular 500W or 600W PSU. They work well.
-
order from newegg or tiger direct, you will get them in a couple of days and for the same price as best buy you can get a much better one.

Color me confused... 700W ocz fatality no problem what so ever with my xfx 5770.

Depends on what else is in your system Bronk, you may be pushing the supply a little, or maybe not. What is the efficiency of the supply? Is the rating based on dissipated power or supplied power?

That may explain it... I run almost no extras and use a powerd usb for Track IR and x52. Efficiency is advertised at 82%, some reviews I've read say as high as 84%. They do not state if dissipated or supplied.
You've given me something to look up now. :headscratch:
-
What brand supply Bronk? Model number?
-
OCZ fatality 700w Model#OCZ700FTY

I ordered the Corsair TX750W from tigerdirect

CRYPTIC ordered the same one....
-
The OCZ and Corsair power supplies are made by Seasonic. They both rate them based on supplied power.
Corsair and Thermaltake sell the exact same power supplies. So if you can get one cheaper over the other, go for it as the only difference is the color of the paint on the outside of the supply.

Hi mthank you all for the Info..I did get the new PS 750W.. I truly have to admit that the computer, i think, is better..The screens are brighter and I think the speed is better..A good investment...
HOWEVER, I heard from XFX and this is what they said!
This card requires a 6 pin poiwer connection that a 300W power supply will not have. We recommend a 400W at minimum and it must have the six pin PCIE power connection. Some motherboards require a BIOS update to work with the new PCIE 2.1 cards. The entire 5000 series line is PCIE 2.1. The problem that we have seen is that because many of these boards are older and the manufacturer of the motherboard had dropped support for them before ever updating to include support for these upcoming features. I am yet to see a single socket 754 motherboard work with a PCIE 2.1 card. You can check the motherboard manufacturer`s website for an update but I feel that it still will not work with this motherboard and would be severely bottlenecked by all of the other hardware that is in the computer. Thank you. Mark

so I take it that your HD5770 is working with your AMD Socket 754 Motherboard without any problems now regarding PCI-E backward compatibility
man, I have to say....... TigerDirect don't mess around in shipping /delivering orders do they :bolt:
-
No, The Card still doesnt work. I installed the New PS from tiger,,
-
Just for HAha's I'm going to exchange the 5770 for the 5750 and sees what happens..Although I been having a hard
time from emachines on updating the bIOS...That is the recommended fix. I did read similar problems on web and they updated the
bios which fixed the problem...

Question is it enough for the 5770?

I run two 5770s on my 600W OCZ PSU..along with a Core 2 Quad.

Hi Spikes..Thanks for the Input,,The PS is doing very well and I can see the difference..I'm currently using the XFX HD 4650. I will be getting a new system together..I already have the 5770 card and PS...lol...
