ive been looking around for a good videocard that wont break the bank.

i know people love 5850s, but thats a bit steep for me.

what is the best videocard for the money right now?
 
The best bang for the buck video cards are definitely the HD 5850, HD 5770 and HD 5750.

All 1GB models. Don't get the 512MB ones unless they are tons cheaper, and you have a resolution below 1680x1050.
 
the 5850s look amazing, but for 330 dollars,thats more than id ever spend on a single computer part. my processor costing about 160 and the motherboard about 120... i cant justify spending the combined cost of motherboard and cpu on a videocard.

the 5770s are a good price range for me, but a lot of people are claiming they arnt as fast as they are supposed to be or something. is the 5770 vastly superior to the 9800 nvidia? if so, i think ill definetly go with a 5770 unless the 5850s go down to around 250 in price in the near future
 
btw whilst topic is open, what's the 5870 equivelant to Nvidia cards? gtx275? I personally think the gtx285 is further than 5870 but just wondering

no....

The 5870 beats the gtx285 in every test known to man.
