Ok,

I currently have a Radeon HD4830 in my desktop. I noticed that its fan isn't doing so well last night (i.e. with manual fan control and it at 100% it spins at %40 max). Right now I have a Vantec Tornado 60mm fan cooling it but I would just like to replace the card. Since I have a Phenom II processor, I'd like to stay AMD but I haven't kept up on the new cards all that much. Would the HD5670 be the best bang for my buck when it comes to an upgrade or do I need to look at the HD5750?

My system specs are
Phenom II X2 550BE (all 4 cores unlocked)
GigaByte GA-MA750GM-U2SH Motherboard
Corsair XMS2 TWINX4096-6400C5 (awaiting RMA :( )
Western Digital Black 750GB HD
MSI 600W PSU
 
5670 is slower than what you have
5750 would be faster than what you have
5770 would be faster than what you have
5850 would be faster than what you have

Now of those 3 chips it determined by what you consider the best bang for your buck for your money situation, your cpu, and your monitor resolution. Personally I would go for a 5770 or a used XFX 4870/4890.

Well, a used 4870 is out since they are going for around the same price as a new 5770. Now to find a 5750 or a 5770 that includes a coupon for Grid 2 ;)
