Default New Graphics card.
Hey guys, I am looking to get a new graphics card. I just got an i7 920 with 6gb of ram and a DX58SO board. I am still using my 7800GTX which is terrible. I am look to spend 100-150, the cheaper the better. I also don't mind buying a used card. What do you guys think is the best card ATI or NVidia.

You can get an ATi Radeon HD 5770 for $160:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814161306

Or an ATi Radeon HD 5750 for $145: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814125302

You can get a brand new Radeon HD 4870 for around $150 too. Other than that, search around on OCN. There's quite a few nice used cards for sale in that price range.

In the FS section Durch is selling 2 4830's for $140. Together those two are 3-5% faster then a 4890. I don't know how much better performance you could possibly get for the money.
