| 1214909 | 2011-07-04 23:50:00 | Since the 6770 is going to be a newer version of my card, I reckon that would be decent, but have a look at a few benchmarks as well. I'm a bit biased towards ATI to be perfectly honest about it, given the solid performance of my card over my experience with the geforce 440mx and 5500fx. | 8ftmetalhaed (14526) | ||
| 1214910 | 2011-07-04 23:52:00 | Thanks, I have looked at some reviews online, but thought it would be best to ask people since they have actually used it and can provide better feedback. | ronyville (10611) | ||
| 1214911 | 2011-07-04 23:57:00 | well mine gives me pretty solid performance at 1080p for source games, as well as games like the first witcher. Mind you, I don't have my settings too high, since IMO, the resolution takes care of alot of the aliasing in and of itself. I haven't got anything to kill it with like crysis, but I can attest to it at least giving me performance at a nice price point for what I use it for. |

| 1214912 | 2011-07-05 00:58:00 | Why do you need a new graphics card ? I have an Nvidia based 8800 GTS 512mb which still runs the latests games ok like Shift2 Unleashed. :) |

| 1214913 | 2011-07-05 01:04:00 | The 6770 is nothing but a re-badged 5770....period... www.anandtech.com Neither of these cards are any good for 1080 gaming, you should save a couple more bucks and get the GTX460 |

| 1214914 | 2011-07-05 01:10:00 | If you can stretch to $279 (might be cheaper at less reputable stores) then the 5850 kicks the snot out of the 6770/550 Ti... www.playtech.co.nz |

| 1214915 | 2011-07-05 01:14:00 | I'm curious. Does anyone understand the word BUDGET? |

| 1214916 | 2011-07-05 01:17:00 | Yes but when you can get almost 100% more performance for only ~40% more outlay it's only responsible to at least make the OP aware of that option :) | pablo d (15490) | ||
| 1214917 | 2011-07-05 01:28:00 | I'm curious. Does anyone understand the word BUDGET? Neither of those cards much better than what he has...I believe they are worse! |
