Better?

The core clock/memory clock is faster, but they have the same stream processors. It should only be slightly faster, but it has DX11 support, which is still fairly new.

I don't think it'd be that noticeable of an upgrade but if you're itching to play some DX11 games then I'd say go for it.

As long as it at the very least MATCHES...it's good enough for me, but faster is better. The "egg" just got more $$$ from me then! Thank you :)

The 5770 can be significantly better than your 4850 if the 4850 is a likely 512MB model.

Your second link (I'm guessing some sort of product combo) is not showing up. You'll have to link them separately.

The 9800GT is not as fast as the 4850 and definitely not as fast as the 5770, it's not a terrible card but not ever worth purchasing over a 4850 (which you already have)

Well, there it is then. Thank you, and I will just get the 5770 combo then.

Bad idea. You are not going to see much performance increase with a 5770 from a 4850. The only real benefit is the DX11. But, if you have money to burn then it shouldn't bother you. Of course, if you had money to burn you should go for a 5850 or 70 so you will notice a difference.

5770 is easily like 10 percent faster than a 4850 that's pretty big jump in everything.

Plus much better power if you have the money power saves make it a easy buy.

this, its not worth going from 4850 to 5770 IMO. i would jump to at least a 5850 but since its not in your budget...

not even DX11 is of concern. by the time actual DX11 games come out, 5770 would most likely be not enough to play it

Okay, so now without going into the reason I CAN afford the 5850, here is my other hardware

Mobo: Gigabyte EP45-UD3P
CPU: E8400 (Core 2 Duo...obviously) Currently overclocked EASILY to 3.6
oh an 4GB DDR 2 800 RAM

NOW, the question is this...is this 5850 overkill? Hey, it also comes with a game.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-885-_-Product

Will it be CPU limited/bottlenecked or will I see a HUGE difference in Crysis??? (which by the way plays just fine with the 4800 series) If so, what about going to an E8500? Can't afford to go to a Quad, nor do I see a reason to!

Thank you :)

Get the 5850. Few games are CPU limited these days and it's usually better to have faster cores than more cores for most games anyways (and 3.6GHz core2 cores are fast).

Ya'll wanna know the reason for all of this? STUPID ME superglued the VC into the old case, and I HAVE to get a new card! DO NOT ask WHY...the screws weren't holding it...lol.

Your e8400 is only slightly slower than the e8500. There is absolutely NO reason to buy that cpu to replace yours. Your CPU stock, and especially clocked to 3.6ghz will run every game there is and at a good framerate. So do NOT buy that e8500 cpu!

I went from a 4850 to a 5770 and it's a nice upgrade. I'd say it's at least a 20% boost, but most importantly it has 1 gig of VRAM vs. 512. When that's an issue the 4850 just kind of slows down while I've never noticed a similar slow down with the 5770.
I also consider the extra fps especially important at this level since these cards perform very close to the border of acceptable gameplay with high settings. Thus the 20% difference means the difference between choppy gameplay or a downgrade in quality settings.

For a higher tier card that's not an issue so even 50% extra performance means little to me at least until I get multiple monitors or a 30" LCD. I don't really care about super sampling or the other extra graphics options which aren't built into the game.
