Two 5770's are as good as a 5870 so Ive heard

[Shadowsniper789]

You can do two 5770's easily

[Shadowsniper789]

I guess i will go with the 5850.

Ehhhh the 2 graphs make it difficult! :smithicide:

What do you recommend?

[Doritos_Man]

Get the two 5770's little bit faster then the 5870

[Shadowsniper789]

If by that you mean as much as there is here.

[Doritos_Man]

I just wanted to back up my stuff

[Shadowsniper789]

So, which one should I get?

[Unreliable]

Personally I would go with a 5850 and overclock it to a 5870, then you could get another one and CF them.

But if you don't want the 5850 because you might not have enough money in the future, then you should get the two 5770's.

What resolution are you playing at?

[Shadowsniper789]

I dont really care about the resolution it wont be high only about 1440x900

[Unreliable]

Resolution matters because you can have a 5770 that could max out crysis at your resolution but not at a higher resolution. So you could save money buying a card that you would really use instead of something with a high amount of power you won't ever need.

Did anybody notice that he linked the 5850 not the 5870?

[JohnEdwards]

you only need a 600w psu to do dual 5850's 4 hdd's shit load of case fans and all the bells and whistles
