Re: <play taps>RadeonHD 5770 dead at ... ~10?
Depends on the price.
HD7570's usually run for about $14-15 shipped to your door on eBay... and sometimes slightly less ($11-13) if you find an auction and think it's worth your time for the few $ in savings.
With gas prices what they are right now, I wouldn't drive too far for a small item like that (not unless combining multiple errands in one trip.)
BTW, speaking of HD7570... go for the Dell-branded ones, as they usually come with GDDR5 RAM instead of DDR3. Look for a Dell P/N sticker / square QR code on the PCB.
Run the highest "typical" load you expect to put though these cards and run it for 30+ minutes. Let GPU-Z log temperatures. Also keep in mind your current ambient room temperatures - if they are 10C lower now than they would be in the summer, then 50C will become 60C in the summer. Simple as that... well, unless the fan ramps up to keep the temperature lower. So this applies for constant airflow, at least.
