Whats your budget? you can buy better cards than those..

But, out of those i would choose XFX RADEON 5770 1GB GDDR5 because of DX11 but also because it is slightly faster in most DX10 games compared to GTX 260. 4870 is slower than GTX 480, so i wouldn't even consider the 4870 at all.
 
Yeah i ahve the 5770. If you're going to overclock it, definately replace the thermal paste with something better. Also, these cards benefit most from overclocking the memory.

Have you ever played GTA 4 on your PC? Any experience?

Yes i have. The game is a core whore more than a graphics card hog. :D

I have core i5-750 CPU.For detailed specification of my PC, please go through my signature.I'm willing to get a GPU and certainly I'll go for 5770 based on your responses.My current GPU is just a crap and temporary as 1156 socket mobos don't have any on-board graphics.Now it's time to get a GPU for my PC.

Please give me some idea that how GTA 4 will run on this config.

Thanks in advance. ;)
 
You should be able to max it out depending on your resolution. graphics wise it's not the most intensive but it eats up cores for breakfast, the more the better.

Did you actually mean 480 or 260?
Because i dont even know why you would mention the 480
I mean, of course its a faster card... and he didnt even mention it on here
 
From fastest to slowest overall. 260/4870/5770. You really could not tell that much difference in any of them. Dont care that much for the 5770 128bit memory. I would go for the 260 or 4870. Or just save some more money up and get the 5830/5850.

It really depends on the game, but the GTX260/4870 are really dead on, especially after you overclock the 4870.

The 5770 is really worth the price itself though, the 5770 has higher memory bandwidth than the 260/4870 after overclocking, due to its use of GDDR5 memory instead of GDDR3. For gaming, the 5770 is an excellent value for money IMO, not to mention, the core clocks can be pushed pretty high as well, especially on a non reference cooled card.

The 4870 has 265bit GDDR5. Atleast all the ones I have bought does.

1000 core and 1400 memory with only a modest voltage overclock on the regular xfx 5770 with the stock cooler. NEVER goes above 60 C.
i would also recommend this card. like i mentioned, i have it and it overclocks very well. eyefinity, dx11, and low power consumption.
 
What is the difference between these two XFX 5770 cards model?

Just looks like a diffrent cooler to me,The 2nd one probably has the best cooling,However it could be an overclocked model.

Does the site not tell you?

No there isn't any detailed info about these designs.I also got some positive response from my friends for the second one.

Let's see some more response.
