I know its like $4-5 over,But i honestly think thats the best your going to get for that price.

4890 is more....gtx260 is more so.....

256bit cards ain't better than this?

I play low end games...

Combats Arms, WoW, L4D2, Runescape L O L yeh.. <--- Is that even gaming? :P

my max res is 1600 by 1200... planning to get a gaming monitor in the future...

How is this card compared to the one you suggested?

Will it double the performance? (the one you suggested)

get a 5770. i wouldn't recommend an XFX right now because the are only using cards with custom PCB's that are missing one crossfire connector and a power phase.

If you realy realy, wanted to stay under budget you would be looking at a 250GTS for under $140....Not a bad card,But not all that great.

what games do you intend to play and on what res?...and is it for the rig in your sig?

Id get that its a good price,The 4890 is faster than the 5770...trust me you will not have any games it will not play,even if you do play not so demanding games...at at least you know you will have the power there if you ever wanted to play something more demanding in the future.

I plan to get some gaming on.. eventually

looks like bang for buck.. they are OOS unfortunately
Something compared to this at that price?

Will my PSU power the GPU up? I do plan in upgrading my processor to one of the latest kind for my mobo.

Here's a Full Article on 5670 - I'll copy and paste the start of conclusion - and you can click the Article if you're interested in learning more

Conclusion Radeon 5670 Review said:
AMD has succeeded in bringing DirectX 11 under the $100 mark with the Radeon HD 5670, and for the money, this is a very capable little graphics card. Aside perhaps from Borderlands, the 5670 ran all of our games smoothly at 1680x1050 with antialiasing and detail levels cranked up. Gamers on tight budgets shouldn't require much more performance than that. Also, because it's based on AMD's latest architecture, this newcomer may perform better than its predecessors in GPU-compute applications—another selling point that could gain importance in the not-too-distant future.

Compared to the GeForce GT 240, the most similar design Nvidia offers right now, the new Radeon looks to be faster overall. Sometimes by quite a bit.

Nvidia's recent pricing moves do put the Radeon HD 5670 up against the GeForce 9800 GT, as well. As we noted earlier, the 9800 GT likely offers higher overall performance, but it has the downside of being older, larger, hungrier for power—and, since it's a 55-nm, DX10-only part, probably not long for this world.

Here's an interesting Benchmark too

If you're looking at this card for DX11 as a gaming card - there is a performance dropoff for the higher definition graphics. I'd assume it's the same for the 5770's also.

Looks like 4890 is best bang for buck

+1 on 4890, best DX10 card for the price, will play anything that you throw at it and you can fold for CF and get some pretty nice points coming out of it ;)

a 5770 is good, but for the budget, wouldn't it be too high?

and Linkin, I said it before in the other thread a few minutes ago, I wil say it again now, the 5670 is pointless because it won't run any DX11 games well now or when DX11 is the norm because it is a low end card, it will be a waste of time after 6 months, where as a 4870 or 4890 will still be crunching through games 18-24 months from now no problems
