with your system, why not go 5770? it overclocks amazing and scales so amazingly in crossfire. doesn't consume much power, and overall, kicks butt. Would also be a more worthy upgrade.
Anybody sporting a 5750?

Read the posts above you. He can't choose. He's getting the upgrade free.

lol, thanx for the few that understand this is a FREE upgrade (on my end)!

hehehe (Family member bought new computer components for an upgrade, they ordered 5750 and will trade me on arrival for me putting it together for them)
I would love to dig into something even newer/better/strong/faster/harder/whatever, but Im not going to complain about going from the 4850 to something that is more energy efficient, DX11 compatible, Seems to clock well, and seems to have great future crossfire potential (if I don't end up with a newer card and throw this one in my girl's computer)
If nothing else, doing a 5750 over a 5770 sounds more appealing, simply to try something different.
So... nobody is using this card?

It seems that a lot of test shows the 4850 and 5750 trading blows (that I have read up on at least). I figure, the 5750 will probably OC further as well, but all your points were also considered... I may Xfire this, or I may upgrade later... regardless, performance should be about the same with all the newer technology benefits.
My findings in power thus far...
4850 IDLE ~ 226w
5750 IDLE ~ 210w
4850 LOAD ~ 315w
5750 LOAD ~ 267w
(tested on my cyberpower UPS)

Wow the 5750 only has a 57 watt difference between Idle and Load.

lol, don't take this as 100% accurate, this was me at the desktop, watched my UPS for a few seconds, wrote down that number, then launched Unigine DX11 test and watched for a minute or so and got a rough average (did this the same way with both cards)
QUESTION!
On the MSI Afterburner, it won't let me set higher than ATI's will... the option is there, but once you hit apply, it drops back down to whatever it was set to prior. Any ideas?
