    Sapphire Radeon HD 5770 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 149.99 After $10.00 MIR

    I looked at that. but from what I understand it's only 10% more performance then the 5770. And has the drawback of size and requires more power to run. So for the 50$ less, figured the 5770 would be best for my situation.

    I don't think the $26 one is the expert. The picture card looks like it, but if you look at the detail pictures and the description. It does not match the expert. I am thinking it is the non delux model ie just the tv xp 2000. I am considering the usb version at $51 anyone have...
