[QUOTE=Eight Bit;18384258]But all I really do is play Source games, and watch HD movies. Will the 4770 do that at the highest settings with at least 60 fps?As apposed to getting a 5770, which is $65 more. This is already a shitload of money, I don't really want to keep milking it. Plus, I can always upgrade in the future, right?[/QUOTE] Yeah, also one more thing. Buy a 4850 for the same price. [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814129138[/url]

[QUOTE=Eight Bit;18386112]The newegg pictures of the card don't look like any of the other ones I've googled. :confused: The cooler is much smaller. I dunno.. Can I get a second opinion from someone else? [/QUOTE] the size of a card in pictures means nothing compared to there real size. Also the cooler is relatively new style.
I know, I just don't want to get a lower quality card that the one advertised.
[QUOTE=Eight Bit;18386290]I know, I just don't want to get a lower quality card that the one advertised.[/QUOTE] It is fine the other cards posted are just older. When they used to use single slot coolers.
Alright ,after looking at Visiontek's site, they seem like a respectable brand. I'll go with the 4850, and if I come across any problems, I'll just return it for a refund.
