5770 performs worse than 4870, WTF!

[Mousemonkey]

You know what people, let him do what ever he want.
we throwed every single benchmark to prove him wrong and we DID prove him wrong.
Yet hed rather get dx10 over dx11 for the same fkin price/performance.

Whatever you want buddy. Don't come crying after.
Will never try to help you again.

calm down, it's only a forum and the posters are under no obligation to follow any advice given by you me or anyone else who posts a comment.

Of course hes not, but to tell me to shut up was quite rude. Hes the one who should calm down and drop his 4890 addiction.

Speak like you are being polite! Who start it first? Who call other troll first! Rude people deserve to be treat rudely!

If he wants to buy the 4890, he wont be disappointed. Especially not with prices being the same at his local level.

Truth be told, I would probably go with the 4890 bundle too. In his locale, the 5770 is overpriced that is why the 4890 looks like its a much better deal. It is tbh. I would wait instead of buying a 4890 however, but that depends on other factors like how desperate you are to pull the trigger.

WOW relax I was joking because I came on another thread to see you posting the same thing you said here. And it was not true since you said going HD4870 over HD5770 was better.
Well now if your locals have overprices, then I guess your stuck.

Hopefully all who read this will calm down a bit and think before they post. If the OP has an issue with the 5770 then so be it, there is no point in getting angry about being unable to dissuade them from that opinion.

Yeah, I will wait for the HD5830. I would just go with the HD4890 if the HD5830 is not out in 2 weeks.

The 5830 wont be out in 2 weeks, you can be sure of that. Maybe in 2 months with the release of the 5870x2, before then it would be pointless for ATI to release it.

going/buying HD4870? NO, I didn't say that.

What I said is that HD4870 is better in performance at the current stage which is TRUE!

You are just making prediction that HD5770 will definitely??? much better when its driver matures.

Why would they do that? Isn't the higher mid-range card most popular? For example, HD4870 was the most popular one in HD4xxx.

 

[EXT64]

Well, I for one haven't actually heard of a 5830. I had speculated and hoped for one in other threads, but I have not seen concrete evidence of one. So if there is one, it may be a ways off.

And, yeah, obviously get whichever card seems to be best price vs perf. to you, as only you truly know what your needs are. A 4890 is a great card. I think with either choice you will be pleased, but just to be safe, do a quick browse of the DX11 titles and make sure none of them are must haves for you. If any are, you may want to give the 5770 another consideration. Or you can always wait and see if the speculated driver improvements are true or not.

Q9550 is high end and i5-750 is mainstream too! In addition, the price of HD5770 is very close to that of the HD4890 1GB(at least in NZ)!

Just dont be blinded by perforamnce/price comparision.
5770 is @ par 4870.
Over and above it multi monitor support and very energy efficient card.

 

[noob2222]

Here is something to think about, What 4xxx radeon has a RETAIL price of 159? What is it selling for right now? What is the RETAIL price vs the current SALE price of the 4870?

So you want to compare retail priced cards to sale priced cards. AMD doesn't set sale prices, they can't control what newegg or anyone else charges for the final price. When stocks are high, prices go down, when demand is high, prices are up.

So to end it, right now you will not find the 5770 on sale because the demand is high, but you will find the 4870 heavily on sale because everyone is stocked up. If you want to compare cards, do it retail vs retail or wait 3 months then do your comparison when the prices are settling.

Sure looking at it right now retail vs sale, you will get a better deal on the sale. DUH.

I wonder if you can hybrid Crossfire a 4870 and a 5770 to get the performance of two 4870s or two 5770s...hmmmm >_>

: it is not possible.
you you want to play games like crysis,mw2,etc at max settings
and high resolution at good framerates
better go for a single ati hd4870
it is a better performer with less capabalities.
comparing an ati 5770 and ati 4870 is like

comparing a olympic racer(HD 4870) with a mechanic(HD 5770).

Except the fact that the HD 4870 and the HD 5770 are equal in performance your post is totally correct.

PS. Don't play necromancer with old threads.
