I am still looking and researching vid cards and thought I'd ask about this set. My budget is under 150 and I can find these for around that. The 1st is a 6870 card with 1 gig of ram. The buss speed is around 800 but its 256 bit. The second is the newer 7770 card. It has the faster gpu at 1 gig with one gig of ram but its 128 bit. Which would be better for gaming and general computing? Unless I get a great deal on a HD screen, I am more interested in speed and frame rate. I'd also like to xfire the card later on when I get more cash.
