No, it's 5770/4870, 4850/5750.

For the same price I would get the 5750, DX11, and lower heat/power-consumption.

Well, if you game a lot most bugs are noticed with-in 30 days, but that's up to OP to decide, save 20 bucks or spend an extra 20 bucks on better customer support after 30 days.

Thanks!

WoW is not a game that requires huge amounts of GPU horsepower.For your use, the
4850 is fine in terms of power consumption and heat.The extra 30$ for the 5750 is only justified if you want DirectX 11.Otherwise the 4850 is more than enough for your need.But do get the 1 GB version.

This is entirely incorrect. The HD4850 does NOT perform better than the HD5750 and in fact has inferior memory bandwidth. The HD4850 does have a 256 bit bus vs the 128 bit bus of the HD5750 but it also uses DDR3 as opposed to the faster DDR5 of the HD5750. In the end the memory bandwidth of the HD5750 is 73.6 gb/s while the HD4850 is at 63.6 gb/s. In terms of performance the HD5750 is also on average 7-10% faster but it has more to do with their respective processors than anything to do with the memory. On top of this the HD5750 also uses approximately half as much power under load and 1/3rd as much in idle and is DX11 compatible. DX11 doesn't matter for WoW but if you might play any other games it is a nice feature to have. The HD5750 supports 3 monitors and has more advanced audio/video playback features if you are going to be watching movies on an HDTV and/or connecting the card to a receiver for audio.
All of that said the HD4850 may in fact be the better buy depending on how much money you have to spend. It's a judgment call you need to make yourself but you should do so with accurate information about your options.
