Need equivalent of ATI 5700HD card but with 2 DisplayPort outputs

[Noylopa]

I've loved my ATI 5700HD card for the past four years and have been able to consistently play latest games at highest, or close to highest settings without a hitch.

But now I have an additional display, an LED TV that I want to have connected at the same time as my main display which also is an LED TV. The only way to get sound to both TVs at the same time is to have them connected via DisplayPort to HDMI, and my current card only has 1 DisplayPort.

The ATI 7000 series however does have 2 DisplayPorts so it looks like I have to upgrade. But which of these would be equal or greater to the 5700 in terms of sheer gaming goodness, does anyone know?
Thanks in advance!

Assuming your card is an HD 5770 (top model of that series of cards) you're going to want an HD 7770 to replace it.

The HD 7770 is somewhat stronger in performance across the board:

And it won't break the bank. Here's a Sapphire model with two mini displayports for $110 after rebate:

If your budget is a bit higher you might consider this HD 7850 for $165:

While obviously more expensive, the 7850 is a much more powerful card:

There was a recent deal (see Anandtech's forum "Hot Deals") where you could get a 7850 for $142 after rebate, may be better value to spend the extra $32 to get higher performance, compared to saving a little and getting the 7770 with lower performance.

Yeah, but 2x DP is a nonstandard configuration, so he's gotta buy the card that has the ports he wants and not necessarily the card that's the cheapest for the performance.

Kinda like finding a 7750 w/ 2x DVI.

Even the cheapest cards have dual display ports.

Grab a 5850 ......... imo
