Hello I'm for sure getting a new video card since mine is dying out on me now. My budget is around 170$ tight. This is my current setup Core 2 Duo e6850 stock, 2x1 gb ram corsair. I was thinking 5750 or 5770. I play TF2, L4D, I have intention of picking up Bioshock 2 and Left 4 Dead 2 so far. Thanks
 
Need more details


OC on the CPU, PSU (make and model), screen resolution, desired settings, video card upgrading from
 
oh yes totally forgot I have a corsiar 550, no oc, playing on 1680x1050 upgrading from x1950
 
go for the 5770 they are great cards for the money and use little power consumption.

does your motherboard take xfire ?
 
all of the games you do play, 5750 is just fine for that resolution and will blow your X1950 out of the water

Bioshock 2, anyone's guess, its unreleased (and we do not have performance data as a result), L4D2 gets fairly comparable performance to L4D1 and would be fine with a 5750

based on that, get the 5750, save some cash, be content
if Bioshock 2 runs like crap, 5770 wouldn't do much better (you'd be talking about exponentially increasing processing demands with sub-linear performance gains, you realize the issue there right?)
