Depending on how the 128bit bus affects them these could be superb bang for the buck

The HD5750 packs a Juniper LE GPU at 725MHz and 1GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 1150MHz on a 128-bit bus. It has 1120 stream processors and 56 texture units. Of course, it supports DirectX 11 and shader model 5. This sounds like a pretty tempting deal at just €119.

If you're after the HD5770, you will get an 825MHz Juniper XT GPU, while the rest of the spec is identical to the LE version. While it will be somewhat faster than the HD 5750, we're really not sure the 125MHz higher clock is worth 25 percent more.
 
Damn they sound pretty awesome. The only real issue I have is the 128-bit bus, I know it has GDDR5 and all that but it's still only just over half the bandwidth of the 4870 et. all. Does anyone have the memory clocks of those two cards lurking around?

Not sure if I should put my 4870 up for sale in anticipation of these, though... Lower power draw, DX11, potentially far better overclockability and awesome IQ benefits do sound good, but if I can't get enough for my 4870 to cover the cost I don't know if I can make up the difference and would be stuck with a noisy 6200 with a dodgy fan for a while. :\
