What resolution are you gaming at? Also whats the rest of your machine?

 

[bobert50]

768meg gtx460 ?

 

[Vince]

The options I would say are:

5770
460 (768 mb)
5830

All will happily crank along at that res. What board do you have is it crossfire or SLI?

 

[Yamahahahahaha]

460 768MB. If you can stretch a little more, the 1GB is very good vfm.

Well its a crossfire board so 1x 5770 now and another cheap one down the line when it starts slowing up (for 5870 ish performance) is definatly an option.

What games do you play?
Are* cuda and Physx important to you?

Don't get a single 5770. In games with decent SLI support you wont get any real performance increase over a 9800 GX2, might even be a bit slower. I'd be looking at GTX 460 as a minimum tbh.

But you will have the option to pop another 5770 in... swings and roundabouts really. A single 460 and your stuck there unless you sell, go for the 5770 and you have an upgrade path.

Its up to you op all of those cards (even the 5770) will smash 1680x1050 res

If you had a sli mobo we wouldn't even be having this conversation!

I don't think anything within your budget is a worthy upgrade.I'd stick with it until you either have a bigger budget or the prices of 5850/470 (at the very least) come down.

 

[Richy1204]

I'd stick with the 9800GX2 tbh

You should consider how much selling the 9800GX2 might get you as well; still really good cards and sell well (I love them!)
