| 1214920 | 2011-07-05 01:44:00 | Hmm... reading that article it looks like the 6770 wouldn't be able to xfire with the 5770 thanks to the bios. Bummer that, I was looking at getting another 5770 at some point. But I think my PSU would crap itself. And I have no money anyway. Ohwell. |

| 1214921 | 2011-07-05 02:34:00 | Thanks for all your input fellas, yes I know $200 will not get me a decent graphics card, as Pablo mentioned the HD5850 is better than the other 2 I was looking at. If I can squeeze out another $80, will probably get the 5850. Thanks again. | ronyville (10611) | ||
| 1214922 | 2011-07-05 02:42:00 | Of the two in the OP, the 550Ti for sure. They perform about on par with the 6790, so a noticeable (say 10% average) increase above the 6770. I'm assuming you don't plan to OC etc. I'd imagine either the 550Ti or 6770 to be around $230 - $240, so an extra $40 - $50 for a 6850 may well be worth thinking about (it's probably another 10% or so above the 550, making it considerably better than the 6770). |

| 1214923 | 2011-07-05 02:54:00 | I normally shop at PBTech, and nope, not looking to overclock anything. Just for gaming. The HD5850 Extreme = $249 and the HD6850 = $239 .... mmmmmm | ronyville (10611) | ||
