I just upgraded my primary system from an E5200 to a PhenomII 955. I was (and am still) using a 4850 card.
I do some light gaming (the Total War series, Company of Heroes, etc), some video editing, and HD video watching. I'm currently using a 24" monitor at 1920x1080.
Is it worth the performance increase to spend $150 on a 5770, then turn around and sell my 4850 for $70? Result is a net cost of $80.
FWIW, my MB supports Crossfire, so I can possibly pick up another 5770 in the future.
Let me know your opinions ... I'm sure there will be some strong ones.
