I am currently looking at both of these cards and am debating which one is better for the money, I see that the 4890 gets better FPS, but the 5770 is $30-$20 cheaper and has DX11. I really need some help on this decisions. :saddowns:
Thanks in advance.
Get the 5770 and overclock it.
what res?
1680x1050
5770 should be fine
Bro you getting nowhere on that P4 :v: I forgot to reply to that thread on WCS. Oops
How well does it run most of the recent games?
the 5770? depends, since recent games vary a lot, you cant really say

Lol Hex, you're making a statement that relates to a post on a completely different thread. I already looked and my processor beats the recommended requirements for most games, and with my current motherboard the best I can get is a Core2duo/quad. Which I don't know is worth the money.
[QUOTE=TheNoiseExplosion;19693643]my processor beats the recommended requirements[/QUOTE]
because "recommended requirements" are so accurate and reliable
Haha, I have to agree with you on that one, but I only have enough money for a GPU unless the Core2duos are worth it.
4890.
Pros: Better performance, easily overclocked, cheaper.
5770.
Pros: Less power consumption, DX11 (unneeded), Eyefinity.
Pick.
If anything, wait for the 5830. Speculated to perform at par or better than the 4890, but w/ DX11 and all that. Supposed price is to be less than $200
I'm probably wrong but wasn't the 4770 better than the 4830 and thus it is logical that the 5770 is better than the 5830

Not sure, though, like I said...it is [B]speculated[/B] to perform at par with or better than the 4890. Read [URL="http://www.nordichardware.com/news,10553.html"]this[/URL].

Speculation means complete jackshit with hardware.

First of all, the 5770 is cheaper and Eyefinity is useless to me. I guess I'm going to go with the 5770.
Am I making a good choice? Though I might wait for the 5830.
Here are the facts:
Cheapest 5770: $157. [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131328&cm_re=ati_5770-_-14-131-328-_-Product[/url]

I'd get the 4890.

That makes a lot of sense. Sorry, last I checked the 4890 was cheaper.

The 4770 is on par with the 4850.
[QUOTE=ghostofme;19695738]The 4770 is on par with the 4850.[/QUOTE]
Just below it actually.

I would get a 5770. They consume much less power and run very cool.

Give or take 2 frames.
At what settings will I be able to run Crysis with it with good FPS at 1680x1050 with a 5770?
[editline]11:41PM[/editline]
I know it's a dumb question, but I like my GFX :downs:
i currently have
Athlon x2 64 2.9 Ghz
and a 5770 and 3 gigs of ram
Running crysis on High with DX 10 features and my res is 1280x1024.
about 25-55 fps
Averages about 35-50 fps in foresty scenes. during the beach scenes is about 25-35.
I guess a 5770 would have to be my choice.
It's a really good card for it's price.
Did you completely ignore my post? The 4890 gets nearly 10 FPS more at 1680 x 1050 in Crysis. 10 FPS means a lot when you're getting <40 FPS.

Would you kindly let me in on the secret that makes hot cards worse than cool cards, and anyone with a half-assed 500W power supply can run a 4890.

Not computer parts that are made to handle the heat. Move along.
