It's quite the cost and performance gap between the 5770 and 5850; heck, it looks like you could score two 5770's for the price of one 5850.

What's your resolution? If you're running 1680x1050, then the 5770 will be great. I have the 4870 which the 5770 is comparable to, and it's awesome at 1680. However, if you're running at 1920x1080, then the 5850 will be more your speed.

Plus, if you want good DX11 performance out of the box when the games that support it start rolling out, you might want the 5850 because it'll likely handle DX11 much better than the substantially weaker 5770.

If you're not placing a priority on DX11, then perhaps look around on Craigslist or eBay for a 4870 or 4890. I got mine cheap and locally off of eBay, and there's quite a few 4870's on my local Craigslist that are priced really well.

Your statement about the 4870 is only true when you got the 1GB version as that will otherwise be in many cases a bottleneck on 1680 or higher resolutions.

Personally I was happy with my 4870 1GB edition, but am now more happy with my HD5870 Smile

Oh btw, it looks lik the HD5830 should be out end january, and should perform similar or better than the HD4890 but with DX11 and eyefinity.
