BTW, upgrading my Athlon II x4 635 to an i3-2100.
Passmark rates as follows (all 1GB except my old 4850):
GPU____PM___Cost
4850 > 1334 ~ $??
5770 > 1652 ~ $145
5850 > 2492 ~ $140 (Sapphire) <= seems a good choice.
6850 > 2828 ~ $165 AMIR (XFX)
May buy Portal 2 and/or Bioshock 2
Does the 6k series offer benefits over the 5k series?
