Hi Guys, I am confused which card should I buy. I dont want to spend much. My PSU is Corsair VX450

HD 4890 is cheaper 1 GB DDR5 256 beat 800 stream processors but directX 10.1

and what about 4870?

I am a casual gamer and shortly purchasing a 22" monitor.

how much is your budget...
I don't recommend an old generation card (4XXX)

choose between 5770 (cool) or 6770 (gr8)

In OLX and eBay they are giving new cards... I never buy secondhand.

Better to get the 5770/6770, performance is on par (you may actually get better performance in newer games) and power consumption is way low. You only need a single 6-pin connector. Plus you get DX11 capabilities.
