Hey guys. I want to know what is a good video card for me that is in the radeon hd 5700 series, can do most games on medium settings (excluding crysis), and will not over power a core 2 duo e6400 @3.00GHz and 3GBs of RAM.

Thanks,

Ben C.

If you want to run games on Medium settings a 5750 would be a great buy. It runs most next gen games at max settings or medium settings. Just make sure your PSU can handle it, it has a recommend 450w PSU requirement, but I am using an HD 4850 (the equivalent of a 5750 but uses more power then the 5750) on a 400w psu.

The 5770 is only a few bucks more so I'd go with that. Either way you can't go wrong.

I also prefer 5770 over 5750.
Both can be easily powered by a Quality 400W PSU.

HD5770 Is a better buy.
It is comparable to last Gen's ATI flagship card HD4870.

Go for it.
It will play Crysis nicely...

Yes the 5770 would treat you well, plus you can find them just about everywhere.
