Hi all, it's been a while since I have been on here. I built my own rig a few years back, and it was money well spent at the time. It's starting to show its age now though, so I'll be upgrading later this year.
I do however need a replacement for my 8800GTX which has just failed me (have "borrowed" my brothers card for now).
I was thinking of going either for a 4890 or 5770 as I have around £150 to spend (including postage).
DX11 isn't that important to me, and I believe the 4890 is the slightly faster card, although the 5770 is gaining ground with better drivers? Also I want to order from here really, and I can't seem to find the 4890.
So is a 5770 a good choice?
I'm looking at either the XFX ATI Radeon HD 5770 "AVP Edition" or the XFX ATI Radeon HD 5770 XXX Edition
Will it be worth going for the overclocked version, or the stock version and overclocking it myself?
Appreciate any help on this.
