thnx fr quick reply, i have i5-2500k, 4gb ram and gigabyte superb 450W.
Even i am thinking about ATI HD6770. Any other recommendation?

I will say go for Gigabyte Hd7750@6.2K from Smcinternational
Its slightly better than Hd6770 and future driver update will improve it more.So getting few gen. card is wise decision IMO.

but according to this Radeon HD 6770 1GB vs Radeon HD 7750 – Performance Comparison Benchmarks @ Hardware Compare ati 6770 is faster than 7750. ;-)

+1 for tenida's suggestion....

gtx550ti is more power hungry consider amd options.

pl post something useful man. nvidia and amd has only 8 watt difference between them. I never said power was an issue. i want performance.

then get msi cyclone ii nGtx550ti oc ....factory overclocked...iam using same card on one of my rigs..decent performer....Found something useful. ;-)

@OP, get 7770 .. Better performer than 6770 and 550ti.
And between 6770 and 550ti, 6770 is the winner ..

grab HD6850 for less than 9k if you can find it anywhere else HD7770.

+1 .. If possible chk it before buy ..

HD 6770 is the right choice. Gigabyte Superb 460W is basically a FSP SAGA II 400W PSU, renamed to 460W. Make sure that your overall config, including the Gfx card can be handled by the 400W PSU.

Thanks, i checked via psu calculator under 100% load my pc is gonna need 370w, so my psu is enough right????

HD6770 can be handled by Gigabyte Superb 460W ( or FSP Saga II 400W).

Sam st smc the model number shows GIGABYTE GV-R775OC-1GD but i checked at gigabyte website there is no GIGABYTE GV-R775OC-1GD model
the 7750 version card is named GV-R775OC-1GI.
note again GV-R777OC-1GD is the name of gigabyte 7770 card , so which card is smc selling ?

maybe it is country specific.

most probably only a typo - on primeabgb it's mentioned as GV-R775OC-1GI ;-)

Well in my consideration, both are good cards. If you go for 550Ti then you will get more Memory Bandwidth and Pixel Rate, whereas 6770 can be considered for better texel rate. If you have a weak PSU , then go for ATI HD6770. Though the power consumption rate difference is just 8 Watt.

My preference would be GTX 550Ti

The power consumption difference between a 55TI and HD6770 is much more than 8w - it's actually 40-50W. Even a HD6790 consumes around ~30W less power than 550Ti and performs better ;-)

These things don't matter. Only thing matters is what frames per second you get in each cards. Only this gives you the right idea.

What's the point of having a huge surplus of memory bandwidth when the GPU isn't utilising it?

HD 6770 = GTX 550 Ti in performance at a much lower power consumption.
