I'm also still rolling with a 5770. Motherboard went south a while back, taking the CPU with it, so got an Intel i3 3220. I can play most games at 1920x1080 with high settings as long as I go light (or stay away from) anisotropic filtering and antialiasing. As a matter of fact, older games like Resident Evil 5 and Half Life 2 episodes I can play in 3D with benchmarks still above 40fps.
Full disclosure: I have to admit that I haven't played any recent AAA titles since I'm trying to make inroads into my steam library.

Hahaha! Not too great. I have something like 44 games I have not even downloaded yet. And let's not even talk about GoG.

But the 5770 is still handling everything I throw at it, be it older titles. Alan Wake it ran with everything full blast. Dead Space 2 is on highest everything. LA Noire is on high settings. It really is the little card that could.
 
Im gonna be a dick now xD

I am also running a 5770 still on 1080p.
All the games I play I can still run on full.

Lolz at the True and rumor in thread title. It's a true rumor?

The 5770 reminds me of the old Geforce 8800 cards, its a few generations old yet everyone's got one and it still handles alot of new games (albeit at lower detail and resolutions) perfectly.

So what you're saying is that the 5770 is a rebranded 8800?

Fail avatar / Fail :p ! dont be trollin

a few years ago the Geforce 8800 was the best bang for buck card and everyone i knew had one nividia even went as far as rebranding it as the 9800, its a card with a hugh following and some people are still using 8800's and play alot of new games without much hassle, albeit it does not have dx11 support, the HD5770 seems to have picked up the same following, the 5770 series is about 3 years old now and look at all the peeps still running those cards and are still able to max most new games.

I remember how long the 8800's lasted, and the 5770 and my 5850 seems to be going the exact same route. Incredible card, I'm still so happy with my purchase.

8800GT -> 9600GT -> 4890 -> 6870 -> 6870CF -> 8970 or 8870 CF...

As long the new AMD line up has come out and prices are decent and its in time for BF4 (next title I will prolly need to upgrade for).
