Default New ATI Vid Card

Finally upgrading (actually rebuilding everytging but the case). I've narrowed down to the Rad 5770 or the Rad 5850. Anyone know these cards? Is the 5850 worth twice the price?

Depends on what game you want to play...

I only say that because I think you may have said that you want to play SOL and it's hating ATI cards right now (even more than COH did). Steam showed that ATI was less than a quarter of the market but I could not resist the speed and the price.

That said, My ATI 4870 is a freaking dream, so much faster and cheaper than the nvidia counterpart for all the other games I play. Go with the 5870, it's one number better. Well, if you have the $$ for it.

Ended up getting the 5770 and it's awesome!
