After careful consideration I have decided to transfer all hardware review activities to a new domain. I purchased Hardwareasylum.com in 2012 and have been working hard to build a new and improved Ninjalane on that domain. If you are reading this you have reached one of the archived articles, news, projects and/or reviews that were left behind during the site migration.

Introduction
PC gaming enthusiasts and ATI fans can now be happy that Sapphire will be releasing a new Radeon HD 5770 to tackle the Eyefinity boggle.

This has been something that everyone has been asking for and at the right price can transform Eyefinity and multi monitor gaming from a rich boy's toy to an average users reality.
In this review we will be looking at the new Sapphire Radeon HD 5770 Flex, a new card from Sapphire designed to provide flexibility in your multi monitor experience. Is there some value to multi monitor gamings? Can the HD 5770 deliver enough performance to make it worthwhile??
Let's read on to find out.
