geez, only 20-30 bucks?! I paid $75 for that damn card... sigh...

In that 120-130 dollar price range, I'm at a lose of what would give me the best bang for my buck.. I mean, For about $130 I could get a 5750, wait a few months to save up and crossfire it so I'll have DX11 support. OR I could get a cheaper and clearly supierior 4850 1gb card for about $120. That's just two of my options though, there are SOO many good offerings at this pricepoint, I don't even know what to think...

Thanks for your quick replys!

ya.. I mean, at that low price, I could put it on craigslist for a day and I'd have some idiot interested. But what then? What graphics card would be best in that type of price range? Because I most definatly plan to crossfire later on.

You paid $75 and you are looking to spend $90 on an upgrade? Prices havent changed that much since you bought yours--so you wouldn't be able to afford a lot better of a card.

$90 bucks just isnt enough for a significant upgrade from a 4670. You would need $150 at least to make the upgrade worthwhile. Selling can get you partway there, but...
 

The HD4850 is definitely not superior to the HD5750 in any way. Performance, features and power efficiency all favor the HD5750. For $10 more it's definitely the right way to go. You can get a 512mb HD4850 for $100 however and THAT makes the HD5750 a questionable buy unless you really want DX11 or your PSU can't handle the HD4850.
You should be able to get $50+ for your HD4670 on Ebay BTW which with the $90 should put you at or near the cost of an HD5770. What card you should actually get depends on your resolution, CPU and PSU, which you haven't mentioned.

Ya, I sold my 4670 for a measly $40, but whats done is done, now I need options for my 5750 purchase.
And as for the rest of my rig, I'll update my system information and you can check it out, too lazy to post it :p

thanks!
