well actually the 5750, 5770 and the 5870's are out now. i would check into one of the previous for best results.

get hd 4870 and o/c it

the hd 5770 is slower than the hd 4890 by a tiny bit like 2%-5%. The hd 5770 is a bit cheaper by like 10 bucks

its only like a $6 difference between a 4870 and 4890 at the store i'm buying my card on fri.

5770 > 4890 > 4870

get one of the 5000 series lol, they support dx11

why the fuck this is in CS forum?

probably because a graphics card is something you need to play CS.

#14 graphics card from 5 years ago could run cs perfectly...or even most integrated laptop video cards

I try in pubs

but isnt 5770 128 bit? wil it perform better than 4870 or 4890?

Mera Bharat Mahan

the memory interface is what separates most high end cards from mid range so no it should not perform better.

I have an HD 4890 and it isn't as loud as you might think..........a little noise, but nothing compared to my old computer. Plus it runs everything I throw at it on high.

KSHARP SAVE US!!! "rift is the smartest man on these forums when ksharp isnt posting, dont argue."

HD 5770

If you don't buy that you're dumb.

GOD DA_MN it harle you just ruined it

Get the HD 5770 , but I'm telling you the GTX 260 is much better

GotFrag CS1.6 Writer

i bought a GTX 260 OC maxcore 55 for 200 ( plus tax )

and GTX 260 > 4890
so good with nivida

I try in pubs

5770 would be the better choice for the long run.

oh

Hmm thanks a lot guys i think im going for HD 4890, considering the fact that ill switch to a better grahics card after a year n a half when DX 11 n windows gets stabilised . so for now HD 4890 wil be good i gues.

i am sure you are not wanting to buy these for cs only:D... btw awesome lcd... i have the same and it rocks big time.... and my advice to you would be to buy a dx11 card as it will be long lasting...

i love to lick feet

LOL gtx 260 > 4890? lmao, gtx 260 < 4870

buy the 5770, it's not just better because of dx 11, it's cheaper, more power efficient, quieter, et.

5770 is a mid range card just newer chipset. 4890 is high end in the series. dx 11 is suppose to be backwards compatible with dx 10 cards anyway.

if the 5770 is like the 4770 then surely it would be the better buy without a doubt.

#26 is rite. 5770 is just made of a 40nm chipset so kinda better, but it 128 bit etc, n performance wise 4890 is better i guess . anyways by 2010 december. ill go for a full updrade to ddr3. lets see. rite now i got phenom II 940 /4gb ddr2 ram/1tb hd

oh no, it's 128 bit.. cry.
the GTX 260 is 448 bit, along with the other high Gxxx nvidia cards, yet the 4870 is still better than the 260 even with half the memory interface.

again.. the gtx 295 is 896bit while the 5870 is 256bit, and which card is better? 5870..

also, the performance of the 5770 will be much better once the drivers are fully developed and exit beta stage.

5770 > 4890

I thought hte gtx295 was better than 5870 could I be wrong?

the 295 beat the 5870 in a couple games, but the 5870 is clearly the better card since it's a single GPU, cheaper, DX11, EyeFinity, better power consumption, and is still in beta drivers.

i don't know what your reading elko but the benchmarks i'm looking at are showing any nvida @ or above a 260 is beating the 4890.

and which gets more FPS in games? better for larger resolutions?

and i don't know what you're reading #32, because only SLI'd 285s perform better than ATI's CF 4890

and those haven't even benched the 5000 series, so ATI clearly blows nvidia out of the water
