4850 To 5770

[Th3D0n]

Hi guys im wounding if its a good idea to sell my 4850 and get a 5770???

Would be better but not by much - Personally I say it is not worth it. It is moving to a new generation but down a model.

4850 to 5850 is a much better upgrade.

would seem the 5770 is about 20% ish faster than the card you have already. Of course this is in dx10 games and the FPS is only half the story, with the 5770 supporting dx11 its a good leap in technology forward from your 4850. If you can sell the 4850 for half the cost of the 5770 then for ~£60 i reckon the 5770 is a pretty nice upgrade.

I went from 4850 to a 5750 both in crossfire. Im getting better scores with the 5750 but not by much. Moved to them cause wanted the 1gig + less noise + heat and less power, Also DX11 is also a help & i only play at 1680x1050.

The 5770 would be better again but only after you overclock it. Also if it has more ram then your 4850 ect...

It all depends on why you want to upgrade.

Well my 4850 is a 512Meg one and it just doesn't over clock .
I want a 5770 due to getting a bigger monitor for xmas plus DX11 for dirt2

Sounds like you've already convinced yourself

anything bigger than a 22" then I'd say go for it, for the 1gb over the 512mb.

Its going to be a 22"

My 4850's was bad clockers also.

 

[ck88]

well then I'd go for it, you would benefit from the extra 512mb, OC it like hell!

My 4850 won't even overclock by 1Mhz lol

tried flashing to another bios?

Overclock the nuts off the 5770 and you'll be sorted

Do they overclock well???

tried flashing to another bios?

No because the reason i think it won't overclock is due to heat so a different bios won't help

You could go Xfire 4850. However 512MB is certainly a limiting factor, especially in new games going forward.

I have been thinking about that then started to think about the 5770
