| 866606 | 2010-03-14 23:20:00 | The new NVidia cards come out in two weeks, which is bound to shake prices up more than a little. I'm waiting until then before I buy a new card. Most likely the 5770, which sits at a good price point and should run 1680x1050 smooth as butter for new games for the next year and a bit (as long as I'm still in NZ). Where can you still get 4890's? |

| 866609 | 2010-03-15 04:32:00 | Very definitely the HD 5770. It is newer and better than the 4890, and the GTX 260, but for your resolutions it doesn't really matter. I run an HD4850 and it is really good at 1360x768. I prefer to buy ATI, because nvidea haven't got the cards to match at a similar price, so very often you will find that a card with similar prices to the ATI cards can not perform as well. Don't forget to look at reviews, and tests, that people have performed and posted online :D | raydan42 (13837) | ||

IMO, NV has always had the more robust architecture over ATi and while Cypress is the fastest at the moment, Fermi is late to the party, but will soon show it up..... |

| 866611 | 2010-03-16 00:08:00 | This thread is most interesting... Looks indeed like the HD4890 is the best choice, considering by the time DirectX 11 is commonplace another upgrade will be in order I suspect. Now I just have to find one. I wonder what impact the release of the GTX480 will have on prices? |

| 866612 | 2010-03-16 01:41:00 | I would'nt worry about Fermi, although released this month you'll be very lucky to see a card under NZ $500 for months. | Battleneter2 (9361) | ||
| 866613 | 2010-03-16 02:06:00 | It's not the price of Fermi I care about, it's if the price of the older cards will drop or not... | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 866614 | 2010-03-16 02:16:00 | It's not the price of Fermi I care about, it's if the price of the older cards will drop or not... But that's not what you said when creating this thread. |

| 866615 | 2010-03-16 02:29:00 | Of course I didn't, why would I? My question was which card is the best out of the three I picked, it seems that the HD4890 is the best choice. Now I know Fermi has a release date, I'm interested as to what is going to happen to the prices - though again, it has nothing to do with which card performs better... If the HD4890 drops to $200 that would be nice, but I don't know what is going to happen... |
