    Which GFX Card?

    Please only people who know what there talking about say why.

    Im aiming around £100 and am stuck between 5770 or a 4870.

    XFX ATI Radeon HD 4870 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card - Aria PC

    VTX ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card - Aria PC

    I could vary off price if you find somthing better in reasonable pricing.

    Thanks.

    Obviously the 5770, as it uses PCIe 2.1, has a higher clock speed, and runs DirectX11 as well....
    and its newer

    EDIT: because those descriptions are shit, i looked em up, and the only winning factor for the 4870 is its 256 bit vs. the 5870s 128 bit. imo the clock speed difference more than makes up for it though.

    I would go with 5770 because it has higher "clock" speed and it supports DirectX11.

    Thanks all, just deciding whether to spend an extra £15 on a xfx 5770 for avp and sexy ass casing.
