It depends on what res you gaming at. If it is 1920 res, your 5770 will definitely start to show its age for the newer titles.

If considering needing the extra power, you could consider the MSI ATI Radeon HD 5850 Twin FrozR II that OcUK is taking pre-orders on at the moment:

The 5850 is around 10% faster than a 6850/GTX460 1GB, and at just £125 it is a huge bargin. I myself placed the pre-order for it yesterday.

Black OPs is hardly a graphic demanding game...and it is only using an aging dx9 graphic engine. For most dx11 titles, the 5770 would be a bit lacking in power at 1920 res.

I have an Asus 5770 and it plays starcraft 2 on ultra and most things like bioshock well on med/high settings. Its a good card but as marine pointed out the 5850 is a steal at that price. Though ocuk are doing the 6850 for a tenner more with codmw2.

I cant decide what to upgrade fomr my 5770 to, or even if I should bother upgrading.
