You mean a GTX 260? Straight out performance the GTX 260. But the 5770 is a newer directX 11 card. The 5770 is slightly slower then the 4870.

Both will plow through any game out at the minute, however because of the DX11, I personally would go with the 5770 so you know that when a DX11 game comes out, you can utilise it (that is until the 5770 becomes outdated).

However, if you are happy playing in DX10, then I would go for the 260, because it has more power.

But, with that said, if you have a board with crossfire, go with the 5770 so you can crossfire in the future if you want; that will make it slightly outperform a 5850, which jumps all over the 260

Well the 5770 is the slowest of the 4870 and GTX 260. But it depends on how much of a price difference there is.

Thanks everyone for your helpful responses.
I wanna play GTA 4 without any shakes. So, will ATi 5770 capable?
According to my knowledge Nvidia GTX 260 896 MB and Sapphire Radeon Ati 5770 costs same.

Shoot if you can get the 260gtx the same price as the 5770 go for the 260, a better card, usually its about 30$ minimum more than the 5770.


My choice: nvidia 260gtx

hd 5770 is the better of the to. dx11 games will be coming out this year and two 5770's is about a 5870 (which should "plow" through any game that comes out this year).

GTX 260, better performance, but it lacks DX11 as said, but I'd not really say that's a deciding factor when choosing GPUs, also missing "EyeFinity", but that's ATi only and it lets up run up to 3 monitors on a single card. Seriously, unless you have 3 monitors and want to run them on a single card, get the 5770, if not, GTX 260.

Like Aastii said i would go with the 5770 cuz of the DirectX 11. More games will be using DirectX 11 in the future so you will better with the 5770.

5770, because of DX11, price, and fresh drivers. if you know Ati, drivers get MUCH better over time. My prediction is that we will see the 5770 outperforming the 4870 after a few (2-3) new versions of catalyst.

I have the gtx 260. Because I have XP, I went with this versus the 5770 because XP only supports dx9.
