i have a 4850 1gb card at the moment but i was just looking around and i just noticed how cheap the 5770 1gb cards are. in the real world is it worth upgrading, will there be any real perfomace gains for my rig?

thanks

ps fot the same price i can get a 4890

your best off just getting another 4850 and going crossfire price/performance wise. upgrade to dx11 in a year or two when it actually matters. %_%

i though a 4890 would be similar to 2x 4850's? or am i being thick

yeah i would shoot for 4890 then if thats not enough power in the near future grab anthor and crossfire um.

MrTOOSHORT

a 4850x2 is faster than a 4890, I'm guessing 30% faster.

oh i see. sorry i must have misread. i just want more power. i am sure you all understand

CF is just one of those things you have to do early.
I've done this like 3 times, Ill be looking to upgrade my gpu, and of course CF comes into mind. But, then I see all these good single gpu cards and be like, well, ill get one of those and i can CF them later. Well, when the "later" comes, I usually just do the same thing over again.
