Recorded specifications

Cataloged productATI Radeon HD 5770 1 GB
GPU / architecture / launchJuniper XT; 2009.
Core & memoryJuniper XT GPU; 800 stream processors; 1 GB GDDR5 on a 128-bit bus; reference 850 MHz GPU and 1,200 MHz memory clock (4.8 GT/s effective).
Host interface & powerPCI Express 2.0 x16; reference board uses one 6-pin PCIe power lead. 108 W typical maximum board power class; allow for PSU headroom and the actual board vendor’s recommendation.
Typical reference outputsReference-style outputs include dual DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort; verify physical ports and supported combinations on the specific board.
Board dimensionsReference board length is approximately 208 mm, with a two-slot cooler; partner/OEM revisions can differ. Verify the exact board drawing and slot clearance before installation.
Variant boundary1 GB retail/reference Radeon HD 5770 (Juniper XT), not the 512 MB or factory-overclocked board revisions.

Compatibility, service & archival notes

Fits a PCIe x16 slot and can negotiate older PCIe link generations when platform support permits. Check the single 6-pin lead, card length and dual-slot cooler clearance. Eyefinity/display combinations depend on board outputs and DisplayPort adapters; passive adapters may not support every multi-display arrangement.

  • Check the exact slot keying/signaling, board dimensions, auxiliary-power pinout, PSU guidance, airflow and display outputs for the specimen; connector appearance alone does not establish compatibility.
  • Install a driver supporting the recorded device ID and target OS. Preserve the original driver and firmware versions before making changes.
  • Record board partner, PCB and cooler revision, device/subsystem IDs, BIOS, adapter set and physical condition. Do not power a card with damage, corrosion, obstructed cooling or suspected shorts.
