5770 Ordered

[Gimpymoo]

I Have been borrowing a 4850 512MB from a friend for a while and was about time I had my own card so I have been fortunate to be given one as an early birthday present.

Seems to be a great card for the price and with DX11, seems to be win win.

I game at 1680x1050.

Any idea if I will see much improvement over the 4850? Will the extra 512MB of RAM make much difference regarding MSAA usage?

Many Thanks.

I just ordered the Sapphire as well

What is your current order status?

Not sure what's happened, with the order. It is apparently in the "Warehouse Queue".

I'm hoping it has been sent and someone simply forgot to scan it out in the warehouse or something.

Good to hear, thanks.

I ordered at 13.30.

Well, it wasnt shipped as apparently they dont have any of the Sapphires in stock. Website says 10+ although the were expecting stock yesterday but it never arrived.

Rang them this morning and they changed my order to a Powercolor for the same price. Should be with me tomorrow.

Powercolor any good?

I had a Powercolor X800XL a few years back.

From what I have read, the 5770 seems to be the sweet spot for 1680x1050 gaming apparently.
