    Old-ish card at this stage.Basically a more power hungry GTS 250.

    Still a good card

    Don't know why people play Crysis,really ain't a good game apart from the eye candy.Should be able to Max out C&C4 and play FO3 fine

    How much are you buying this for ?

    get the 260, its a much much better card than the 250, and it will run Crysis much better than a 250 would.

    But, IMO not worth the €30+ price difference over the 5770.

    http://www.guru3d.com/article/radeon-hd-5770-review-test/18

    here's a review it show the 260 beating the 5770 but only by very small amounts in each case(when the framerates are at around 60 there is supposed to be no noticable difference in performance).

    It depends entirely on the OP, id recommend a 5770 over a 260 if the OP wants to overclock, overclocked it will easily out perform a stock 260 as it overclocks like crazy, as for price a second had 260 should go for ~90Euro, i wouldnt recommend getting one new.

    Oh well second hand everything is worth the price lol :D

    The said he's overclocking in the other thread.

    This is exactly why it should be kept to one.
    P.s. I'll respond to the other thread 2moro, I'm going to bed now
