5770

Why? The 4890 is a vastly powerful video card that matches SLI or Crossfire setups of previous gen top end cards.

The 5770 is a lot more efficient in terms of power consumption and heat but slots somewhere between the 4850 and 4870 in terms of performance.

Mainstream Attack - The ATI Radeon HD 5770

"our tests have shown that it was mostly a smidge lower than the HD 4870 1GB editions; which puts it closer to the 512MB edition of the Radeon HD 4870. The Radeon HD 5770 was also no match for NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 275 and GTX 260+."

"So think of the new Radeon HD 5770 somewhat as a revised HD 4870 card that is much more environmentally friendly. Not to forget that it fully supports DirectX 11, which should come in handy as more DirectX 11 games slowly creep in to the market next year. Furthermore, it also boasts ATI's EyeFinity technology, which makes a triple monitor setup a possibility."


*edit I just bought a 4870 for under $100, unopened and returnable, how much you want for that 4890?
