The card is not a valid upgrade choice for anyone really.
The cheapest one on newegg is 129.99
The cheapest 5750 is 149.99
The 5770 is 20 to 30 percent faster. Crossfire vs crossfire it only gets worse for the 5750.
A 5750 is equivalent to about a 250 gtx, faster than a 9800gt or 8800 gts or 4850 which seem to be the card that many are upgrading from; but not by much. Nothing to warrant a better set of visual effects or higher resolution.
I think it is terrible to recommend this card when the 5770 is one fast food meal away.
Also the cheapest of the 5750 (and 5770s for that matter) have a cheaper nonreference cooler and will NOT overclock as well as a reference design cooler which means to get a 5750 for overclocking purposes, you're looking at the same price as a 5770..
Am I wrong here?
