I just might look at the HD 5770 (PeeCee version) which is still WORLDS beyond my HD 2600. My wife would kill me if she found out I spent $500+ just to play WoW, WoW Expansion (Cata), Diablo3 (coming) and the All New Star Wars MMO (Nov 2011).

Keeping everything "status quo" really leaves me with "out-of-the-pocket" expenses of buying Windows ($99 - not too bad) and a PeeCee Video Card. Granted selling my 30" ACD will net me cash for a Apple 27" LED but then like you mentioned all the hassles with MDP. Not selling my 30" ACD does put a bit of a strain on the wallet. $99 is a steal and I agree with your OEM comments. No it's not lab quality but I am not making videos, in desktop publishing nor even a hobbyist photographer. Whereas lower cost TN panels though lacking the fine color accuracy of the IPS panels have don't have the ghosting problems.īy the way I have a TN panel I think it's color accuracy is quite good for looking a photos, watching movies and playing games. Unless things have changed IPS panels don't have the best response times lending themselves to ghosting in games. Unless you needed multiple cards for many displays.įor gaming I don't know if the 27" would be great. I am not certain but if I recall correctly the 5770 uses a lot less energy.ģ. Though a hundred extra for a nearly identical card is quite ridiculous. The Radeon 9800 Pro held a high price for a long time as with the X1900 and so on (I wouldn't be surprised if they still cost over $100). This is pretty typical of any high end cards in the Mac world even after they have been dethroned.
Most any game two or more years old you could likely set everything to max with either card.Ģ. Though in practicality this means you will be able to use higher quality settings when playing new games. So for gaming the 5870 should net a 70% to 75% boost in frame rates over the 5770. Looking at a few other cumulative tests the percentages seem to be about the same. The sums of tests at 1920x1200 no AA shows the 4870 as 8% faster than the 5770 while the 5870 ranks 71% faster than the 5770.
Yes, going by the Tom's Hardware Guide 2010 Gaming Graphics Benchmarks. PS - Any other alternatives to the 27" Apple LED? Any of the competition have a similar product?ġ. I plan to sell my 30" Apple Cinema Display to pay for a New 27" Apple LED and a New Video Card.
I would also appreciate any links to read up on if you have any. (3) Why do some recommend using a DVI to Mini Display Port adapter ($200) when you can get a New Video Card for $249.00? (2) Why does the older 4870 cost more than the 5770? (1) Is there a HUGE gaming performance difference between the 5870 and the 5770? I also want to just plug in the New 27" Apple LED with no issues - unlike my current ATI HD 2600 card.

I want a Video Card to run in Windows 7 under BootCamp for gaming. I don't think I can afford the 5870 at this time so depending on the replies I might not even consider the 5870. What throws me off is the face that the 4870 cost more than the 5770 which appears to have better specs. To me it appears the higher the Model number the better the card. Im sorry if I'm asking a noob question but I'm having a hard time trying to figure out which Video Card I should get.
