[Solved] Is radeon HD5750 worth the higer cosnt than the HD4670?

I would like some opinions in whether its worth spending the extra on the HD5750 over the HD4670 (which is well priced).
I have a 24 inch monitor at 1900x1200 and will do photo editing withe photoshop CS4 and maybe play the occasional game. WIll the HD4670 do the job??
I'd like to hear from those who have used or use these cards.

I have the 5750. As far as I'm concerned, the 5750 screams gaming value. I also use Photoshop and Illustrator CS4, and I have to say that everything has been going smooth. Moving around is silky smooth, as is zooming in or out. At 1920x1200, I would suggest you get the 5750. It clocks down massively in desktop idle mode, even with Aero enabled, consuming as little as 16W. When you're running the GPU intensive tasks such as Photoshop and games, it runs like a champ. MW2 runs around 70+ FPS at 1920x1080 with 4xAA and everything set to highest. ME runs around 55 FPS at 1920x1080 with everything maxed out. Just for reference.

Thanks. I would like the option ofr some gaming so it looks luike the HD5750 is the one. Does it matter which make?
Last Q: Do I need a 1GB card or is 512MB sufficient?

What is the difference between these two Sapphire cards one $148 the other $174. They seem to have the same specs

Thank You! I think my problem is solved

The 5750 will EASILY run off a 550w. You can even run it off a 400W if it is a GOOD quality one like a corsair or similar with a 6 pin.

this one would be really nice http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Produ [...] -_-Product

If HD 5750 is not that great with Photoshop them I'm not interested. I want it primarily for photoshop (occasinal game only)

You should go ahead and read this article about 2D acceleration. It explains what the current problems are with the ATI 5000 series and Windows 2D rendering. The problems are supposed to be fixed in next months Catalyst 10.4 release but we won't know how much of an improvement it will be until we get at least a beta release.

It will work with Photoshop. This is coming from someone who owns a 5700 series card. However, you will encounter performance issues when working with large (say, 5000x3000 300DPI) images and Photoshop. The problem arises even in Illustrator. Type takes so long to update and get displayed. Moving things around onscreen is kinda sluggish at high resolutions, too. But I'll wait and see how ATI fixes things with their next driver.

At 1920x1200, it might not be a good choice. The 5700/5800 series are better.

You did say occasional gaming in your first post.

Since your primary purpose will be photo editing, here are your choices: You can screw the 5 series because of the 2D problems, or you can wait until ATI releases a fix that enables the 5 series to work with GDI (2D) commands. If you go with the first choice, then get the 4670. Otherwise, get the 5670. Obviously, the performance of the 5670 will eclipse that of the 4670 once ATI fixes the 2D/5xxx series issue, but if the need is great, you can do without it, since you can probably upgrade a cheapo video card faster than a more expensive one.

No, I don't. To be specific, the "problem" that ATI has with 2D acceleration is that they didn't implement it properly. Performance is supposedly reduced, but it still exists. You will only encounter it at high resolutions. Dragging things around will take a long time to update, type takes long to display, and other things. However, it still works. With a fix, I'm sure everything will work fine.

When I work with 5000x3000 files, and I drag something that takes up about 20% of the canvas's space, it takes a long time to display the new location of the object. That is the symptom of little 2D performance.

It looks like the HD 4850 is a decent card for a better price than HD5750 or HD5770.
From what I read I dont need directX 11 or eyeinfinity. The HD 5750 is not that much more($20-$30). I am more concerned about quality oif the card than extra speed.
I have a 7 year old Sapphire radeon 9200 card and have not had any problems.

Thanks. Unfortunately I cant order from newegg.com since I'm from Canada. I have to order from newegg.ca and they dont have any such deals.

Bummer... Here's the same 4850 from Newegg.ca, though:

I've found Direct Canada (www.directcanada.com) to have excellent prices. Can find stuff there that's actually a lot cheaper than Newegg.

Is the GTS 250 comparable to the radeon HD 4850?

What about this card?

4770 would have been a good buy over the weekend when it was $90. Now that it's back up to $120, it's not.
