Why wait for something else? Sell that 4870, pick yourself up a *quality* 5770, and enjoy the amazing picture clarity, low power consumption, and low temps.
Variety is the spice of life. Give it a shot!

Performance wise they are kinda equal, yes the 5770 edges out. But when u oc the card the gap will increase so yea if u r short on cash and you are willing to OC go for it.
Plus less power draw on idle and load and less heat and dx11 and eyenfinity.

+ newer, better antialiasing/anisotropic filtering hardware. The af filtering is indeed perfect, I love it.
