I used to have a 6770(physically the same as the 5770) and it handles dolphin very well at 3+ IR.Yeah, it's held up pretty well. It won't last too long into the PS4 gen really, but I can't upgrade both right now and it's CPU that's holding me back.
Off topic: Unfortunately, my 6770 died due to a bad bios flash, fortunately though I was able to snag a 5870 for 50 bucks.

Just overclock that "failure of a CPU" to 4.0+ GHz, use this Dolphin build:

and it will "fly".
