HD4870 Vapor-X 2GB / HD4870 Toxic 1GB / HD4890 1GB / HD4770 .... Advice please

aquax · Jul 9, 2009

Hello guys, I'm going to upgrade my monitor to LCD23 1920x1080, and I would like to play most games at 2xAA/4xAA @ 1920x1080. I have this cards available and all are priced same
1- HD4870 Vapor-X 2GB 750/3600
2- HD4870 Toxic 1GB 780/4000
3- HD4890 1GB 850/3900
And last available choice is to get another HD4770 and make crossfire.

Thanks

If they are all priced the same, get the 4890 without a doubt! (forget 4x AA when you can have 8x or 16x!) Sell your 4770 since there is a good demand for them. :toast:

I'd get another HD4770 and upgrade later on when 5800 series is out. :cool:

what do you think about this card? BFG BFGEGTX275896OC2E GeForce GTX 275 OC2 896MB

and when 5800 series is out?

atm, your best choice is the 4890,,, and as erocker said..."sell the 4770, while it still sells"!

what about this? please

what about between this cards:

MSI R4890-T2D1G OC Radeon HD 4890 1GB (Overclocked at 880MHz) $199 with $30 rebate total $169 A/R (newegg)

SAPPHIRE 100259-1GL Radeon HD 4870 1GB $149 with $10 Rebate total $139 A/R (newegg)

i know the 4890 is better but is MSI and saphire is better for me, please somebody help me to get the better choice, i want best performance but taking in consideration, money, quality, etc. i means is a big difference between the cards for the $30 and brand name? or maybe i have to take the MSI to get better performance, oh my god i need help ja ja LOL
