ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
Current graphic card from time to time freezes and restarts itself while watching hd movie or playing games. Current monitor is connected through dvi and tv is connected through hdmi.
I would like to update GPU to be able playing games with great/exceptional 1920x1080 performance in FPS games and to play hd movies without problems on tv set.

I was considering:
- Radeon HD 5770; from 110 EUR
- Radeon HD 6850; from 160 EUR
- Radeon HD 5850; from 200 EUR
- Radeon HD 6870; from 200 EUR

Please advise.

Thanks!
