There is no point in opening multiple threads for the same question. You only drive people away from answering.

Then, that is your answer.

The 5670 will cost more than that when its new.(~$100) Buy now.


BTW you can get 9800GTs in the $80-90 range... Eco versions too..

get a 4770 unless you are wanting dx11

9800gt ended only about the same performance with the 9600gt. only 3-6 frames faster. 9600GT is of course cheaper.

and there's radeon scarcity here (philippines) right now the retailer here dont have 4670/4770/4830.

they are still having trouble with the 40nm process.... that 5670 ain't gonna be coming out in January..... i'm thinking more like march at the earliest,

I'd buy something now XFX 9800GT with double lifetime warranty

happy new year everyone

thanks for the replies
i decided to wait for the 5670 or 5650
i think passive cooling is very possible on both cards especially to the 5650.
