I open this topic because im planning to upgrade my card from 4670 so i need to gather information for picking the best card for my system core i3 2100 3.1ghz card ati 4670 memory: 2x2gig ram 1333 mobo: Asrock h61M U3S3 psu: silverstone 500w SST-ST50F-ES Hd: WD 500g sata3 Monitor:Led AOC 18.5-inch Led wide E936VW with usb i use my rig for gaming like crysis 2, crysis warhead, MWF3, battlefield 3 and i want excellent graphics when im playing,i want most of my games set at maximum settings at my 1366x768 resolution,But now i can still play this games in my present set up but i cant max the settings only playable in mid and slight high settings w/ ranging to 20-35fps. so i need a good feedback for picking the best card, my budjet is tight just enough to buy one of these cards Solution

@OP: even in 550ti vs 5770, the 5770/6770 (128 bit memory bus) has lower power consumption for it's similar performance to 550ti (192 bit memory bus). 550ti will have a very slight edge in nvidia-friendly games and in physx performance. Upvote 0 Downvote

Oct 14, 2011 7,159 0 26,960 in my post i meant that the 5770/6770 uses less power to trade blows with the 550ti, making it better in power-performance efficiency. i personally don't consider physx as a must-have for gaming. i agree with 4745454b. the cheaper card is the way to go.
