What Card is better?! Gts 450 or the Ati 5770

I am open to expanding the budget but id rather stay on the cheaper side. I had a gts 460 but i seemed to do a very well here are some of my benchmark sesults http://3dmark.com/3dmv/2907024
I returned it because it was i felt that i payed to much for a card i couldnt utilize to its max patential. (i payed 280) I use my monitors native, 1600x1050
I play lots os source games like css, dod ect. I also play call od duty games, gmod, left 4 dead, world of warcraft and some others.
I am considering getting starcraft 2 and crysis.

Those games aren't very demanding and i think would do very well with a 5770.Only very demanging game would be Crysis but you might be able to manage medium settings IF you O.C. your prossesor.Crysis is very CPU demanding and so is SC2.But you will need a new PSU to accomadate a new GPU.And a O.C. would really help but that is your prefernce.

The GTX460 is almost double the performance of a 5770 and will give even more FPS in Blizzard's games because they favor Nvidia cards.

So you had a GTX460???Why did you return it?Were you runing the GTX460 on your current power supply?What is your current PSU?

You should get the GTX460 that i linked it's a really good brand.Much better than the 5770.And you could save it and SLI it when you start your new rig.

i would wanna gtx 460 thats cheap and i can oc like my last one, i managed to push my gtx 460 to 900mhz at 1.037 volts, but the test i linked to was taken at 850mhz.
im still confused is there any other good cards i could get?? is there a good gtx 460 i can get for 140 dollars? im taped out and i still got to get a good computer case because the one i have right now is very small and has terrible airflow, also i want the case to look nice. You guys know any? do you think the 94 dollar card i linked above would be good with my system?

k so your saying i should go for the 5770? or is the 94 dollar gts 450 good? i also cant oc my cpu i have a hp computer

5770 is faster for a single card, but if you were looking to add another later for sli/xfire, the gts450 is faster in dual card config. Also there are overclocked versions of the gts450 that equal and sometimes beat the 5770, saying that you could then overclock the 5770 to obliterate any gts450. http://www.tomshardware.com/review [...] 34-11.html

Oh k thanks you know any nice 5770s i can get with a good cooler so i can overclock it for a cheap price?

yea thats why i returned it, but i also got a 3 year warreny on it but it was cheap lit cost like 20 bucks.

Don't get the 768mb version of GTX460.It's not futureproof.And it's a poor version anyway.

That MSI 5770 from tigerdirect is good i would reccomend getting it.

I linked a msi gtx 460,
So i guess it comes down to a gtx 460 1gb or a 5770 right?

Nothing is "futureproof" and the 768MB card is OK, I've seen the performance of one myself and can attest to it being more than capable of handling gaming for a couple of years at the very least.

"if's", "buts" and "maybe's" shouldn't be allowed. Just deal with what the OP already has and at no point has the changing of the monitor been mentioned.

Here's this MSI gtx460 i linked above.It's probably the cheapest "quality" 460 you'll find besides amazon.
