Endless Paradigm

Soo due to heat problems and stuff I want to upgrade my ATI HD4850 to a ATI HD 5770, anyone could tell me the performance upgrades I would get?^^

most video card upgrades result in more in game frames/second at higher resolutions?

BUT

From my experience...having an x8xx ATI card and going to a lower second digit y7yy ATI card has led me to disapointment when there is ALOT of action on the screen :(  For example in COD4 when bombs are dropped..on my HD3850 there was never ever ever any lag on any map in cod4...but when i went up to a 4670, spoon was laggy all over the place :(

BETTER PERFORMANCE?

Yeah yeah I just ask because my 4850 is a x800 series while the 5770 is a x700 series^^'

EDIT: This pic is fairly convincing^^

where did u get that results? is it possible to change the 4850 to 8800gtx?

BTT: well i ordered it today and i can't wait for it

hmmm... ive been thinking of doing the same thing.

that's a pretty convincing picture, aspheric.

See the problem i experienced is yes, the 4670 hit higher FPS, but when the crunch was put in, it lacked the power :(

I wish you luck!!

got the photo from google image search.

Quote:Radeon HD5770 Specifications

The ATI Radeon HD5770 specifications don't fit neatly between two or more competing, or legacy models. It's tempting to compare the card to the HD4870 and HD4890, but the HD5770 has only half the memory bus width of the entire HD48xx series; however every single 5xxx card runs GDDR5 memory at very high clock rates. The memory bandwidth of the HD5770 compares favorably to the HD4850, at 76.8 GB/sec versus 63.5 GB/s, but falls way behind the HD4890 which runs at 124.8 GB/s, as well as all the NVIDIA G200-based cards. It's the penalty ATI paid for slicing the "Cypress" directly in half in order to get the "Juniper".

So how much impact will that have in real performance?

i just bought the Gigabyte Radeon HD 5770 (850MHz, 1GB GDDR5, CrossFireX)

ill let you know how it is on my new rig.

also don't forget you're getting DX11 ;)
