Yes, and in CF those cards do really well.
EDIT-wait, you have a 9800GT.... dont upgrade to that card. I would recommend 5850

5770 - about to buy. yes or no?
is this a good deal for a gpu upgrade?
im choosing this card as it has the rev 1 cooler, and its quite cheep. but, one thing. its a OCUK card, is this just a regular 5770 thats straight from ATI?

Wrong. I had a 4870 512mb. 4870 are faster but CF 5770 at 950/1300 is wonderful to have.

Are you sure it's stable?
Also, isn't the default voltage 1.125v?
Last, what are you using for fan speed at 960/1400?

This is the Sapphire card with the egg shaped cooler, right? What do you think of that cooler?
Just curious because I went with the same card for a friend's build recently and it hasn't been set up yet.

The egg cooler is miserable.
It only cools the gpu (doesn't cool it well either) and it blows all this hot air everywhere in the case.
It is quiet though.

Because some games, more than you'd think, don't support crossfire, including source games. A single GPU solution is better overall, except for maybe benchmarking.
Two 5770's would be more expensive than a single 5850. Performance would be very close as well. Plus with a 5850 you also have the option to crossfire in the future for a large performance boost. With 5770's you're pretty much limited to trifire, as quadfire doesn't scale very well. :/

I ran it for hours playing gaming without problems. Fan speed at 75%-90% depending on the game.

I like it. Very quiet at stock.

It is about $30US more than the 5850.

The only game I have a problem with CF is Elder Scroll 4 Oblivion.
