At 1280x1024 a 5770 is enough.
Yeah, unless you plan to upgrade your monitor, then a 5770 is more than enough.
5850, summer is coming
Well, definitely get a 1080p monitor nextThanks for all the input.. in my ignorance I bought a 5850 anyway but I plan to upgrade other things next pay cheque anyway
Well looking at the benchmarks with the HD5850 and the GTX470 present it seems to perform faster than the HD5850 mostly, Only if the HD5850 is at stock. if the HD5850 is over clocked on pair was with the HD5870 it performance 10% worse than a HD5870 worst case.
So which card now?
If you look about the net you will find a 5870 for £300....
