i M really confused on which card to buy out of all these :

1} ATI 5770
2} nVIDIA GTX 260


i want the pc mainly for 3D ANIMATION & usually will play few games.
PlS. do not suggest any other cards then this.
As i have finalled upon these cards

THe question arises are :
5770 is a new range & DX-11 SUPPORTABLE but slower then & gtx 260.
GTX 260 is faster then 5770 but doesnt support DX-11.

i Wont be upgrading my PC till nxt two years.

i Have zeroed down on the following config, pls. give me suggestions.
Core i5 - 750/Core i7 - 920
Any MotherBoard {dont have enough knowledge on this}
ATI HD 5750 1GB.
SAMSUNG 2233SW
WDC 1.5 HDD
Any Cabinet {dont have enough knowledge on this}
4GB DDR3 GSKILL/CORSAIR/KINGSTON {whichever is good & gives gr8 peformance}

Give advice acc. to both the pro as i m not sure which one i m going to take

PlS. give in your advice as 0n which thing to buy

the 5770 is faster then the 4870, its actually between 4870 and 4890.

i would say go for the 5770, since it has DX11 and can run games at pretty good quality / goodluck!

Wait you want a 5750 or 5770?

If it's 5770 what you may lose via single card you gain w/ cross-fire. Also w/ the 5770 you add a bit more future proofing. Even if this is for a single card with no future cross-firing i still think you would be happy with a 5770.

What about GTX 260 ????
As i have read on many sites that games like ARKHAM, GTA IV & others performs well on GTX 260rather then 5770 ????
& nVIDIA has CUDA proggramming which is usefUl in MAYA & PHOTOSHOP

I was about to say, CUDA will help with the 3D work. I have a GTX 275 and it handles things very well on 3D work, albeit not like a Quadro can. My vote goes for the 260, though if u want the latest in gaming, it would have to be the 5770.

hey mate,

the 5770 would be the best option in my opinion, the 4870 is still a good card, but the 5770 also has support for all the new awesome features like eyefinity and dx11. the gtx260 i also a mean card, and as far as i know it will smoke the 5770 for FOLDING, but yea, i have heard people saying that the new gpu client is coming sometime which will help ayti cards immensly.

i have owned both a 4870 and a gtx260, but not a 5770, but i preferred the gtx260 over the 4870, although my gtx260 squeeled under load



edit: oh, and avoid the cut down 5770 xfx pcbs
