im gonna give myself a christmas gift, from my old GeForce 9800GT Sonic, im eyeing on this two vc's.

GeForce GTX260 216SP 896MB/448bit GDDR3
ATi Radeon 5770 1GB/128bit GDDR5


about the price of the two, they are on same/close price range here in my country. pls vote and give your comments. Thnx and Merry Christmas To Everyone!

lol console sorry i posted it at the wrong section. ^^

I usually stick with nvidia, but 5770 has better power eficiency and is DX11. Even with GTX260 having a bit better performance, 5770 seems to be a better long term choice, based on this review.

Sure there are people around with a more expert opinion than me

i was hoping nvidia would release their new rumored fermi videocard by next year 1st quarter and i find this link:

thnx 4 the tip plug i just hope nvidia would release the fermi soon, or else i gonna get a new vc right away.

The 5770 is quite close to the GTX260 in performance. If you play your games @ 1080p, the 5770 will give you decent framerates @ max details though you may not be able to use 4XAA on some games. A single 5770 will get the job done for now. Add another when you have the money. And btw, if you’re into overclocking, don't expect too much of a boost from this though.

^ im not gonna buy the nvidia fermi, i just want them to release it coz ATI will drop prices on their 5800 series, havent tried ATI cards since my good ol ATI 9550 (agp). but right now im eyeing on those two cards.

You know, I hate croatia...because the prices of GeForce GTX260 216SP is around 500$ here instead 270$ wich is regular price...godamn motherfucking robbers.

Benchmark results says go for GeForce if u want Dx10, and if u want Dx11 take ATi.

Exp. Far Cry 2(DX10@1680*1050) : ATi - 34 fps
Nvd - 42 fps

World in Conflict(DX10@1680*1050) : ATi - 34
Nvd - 40

Crysis(DX10@1920*1200,Very High, AA x4) : ATi - 17.1
Nvd - 16.2

Devil May Cry 4(DX10@1920*1200,8x AA, 16xAF Trilinear) : ATi - 69
Nvd - 69


Edit : BTW, GTX285 owned all of them bout' 20-40 fps in each game and in DX11

i just bought an ATI Radeon HD 5850, very satisfied with it.
