Would the price difference between a Radeon HD 5770 and a 6870 be worth it?

Note that I don't care for AA, and don't plan on Maxing out every game I get. I do plan on getting 3 monitors though, however they won't have a really high resolution. (around 1440x900)



Games I play: Magicka and Fallout: New Vegas.

Games I plan to play: Metro 2033.|||If your going to get 3 mointors, your going to need lots of VRAM.



With only 1GB, you will be extremely hampered. Even if you Crossfire/SLI 3 cards that all each have 1 GB of VRAM, it will total to only 1 GB. THIS ONLY APPLIES IF YOUR USING EYEINFINITY.



Get a 6950. 2GB of VRAM. Your going to need more then one i And yes, it is a HUGE improvement over your 5770.



If no Eyeinfinity (if you don't know what it is, don't worry bout it), get a 6870. Much better then a 5770.|||The 5770 is ranked at about # 47 while the 6870 is ranked #11 Obviously the 6870 would be better...however that's up to you. the 5770 will play most any game at medium settings and still do a fair job of it. Is it the extra $75-90 worth it to YOU? keep in mind you may want to play more Intense games later on..or a newer version of the games you play now will eventually come out...that may need the advantages of the 6870..its really up to you.|||just go with what you can afford personally i would go woith the 5770
