Hello comunity

OR

I plan on using only one for now and then crossfire or sli
in 2 year when I will buy a new computer

My motherboard curently suport pci EX16
 
From the reviews that I read the 5770 is a better buy but if you plan to sli/crossfire in the future I would go with the gts 450 just because of how well the nvidia cards scale.
 
I'd go with the 5770, you get better performance out of it than you do with a 450.

The only thing going against it, potentially, is that the fermi cards tend to scale better in SLI than the ATi cards do in crossfire. I can't speak for the 450 though as I've not seen any figures for it, but can't see any reason why it would be different
 
So the gigabyte model i have posted would be better ?
better cooling and good to sli ??

And tfor playing stacraft 2 the 450 is even better.

Can you tell me in what categorie a 5770 would do better then the 450 ?
They both handle dx11 and have 1 go of ram
And in 2 years when software will be more demanding I will be able to use the SLI wich is better right ?

Definitely 5770, it supports DirectX11 and hosts a good amount of performance. Priced around 150 bucks
 
my vote goes for the 5770. great card for the money. looking at benchmarks for the two in their respective multi-gpu configurations, they each win by a little and win by a lot (the 450 taking the titles for metro 2033 and stalker of course :P). the 5770s seem to be, on average, above the 450s though.

yep i would go with the 5770 as well for the better performance, and also for the easy catalyst over clocking
