ATI 5770 1GB... cheap, DX11, eyefinity... http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/Components,1/Graphics-Cards,4/
That would be my pick (and should be my future card, but how things are standing with my parents that's not going to happen... -.-)

Oke thanks...
Budget is horrible low at the moment but i have to build a new computer for somebody else and i want to swap my videocard GT220 with his videocard. It will be a business system so a 220 is enough and that will be my commision 
My rig is currently a E6600 duo @ 3Ghz and with 4 gb ram and i think i have more need of a new Card then a new platform.

What's the most you want to spend?
HD5770 is pretty good for the cash.
Nvidia are dropping the GTX460 on the 12th this month for not alot more ($200 aparently)
Rumours have it alot faster than a HD5770 but that remains to be seen.
Either way with a change in the mid range market only days away, you should buy after the release.
Would also help if you put a figure on the max you want to spend here. and the resolution you use for gaming.

Lol... the only budget i have is that it won't get noticed that easily
And the GT220... i know.. it isnt good at all.. but still it could handle most games with high graphics on 1024x768 ..

Well combined with something like a 5770 you'll be fine all the way up to 1920x1080
What resolution is your monitor capable of?

I'll assume that 40" LCD is a full-HD device, so 1920x1080 it is!
If you can hold out for a bit, just wait until July 12th when NVIDIA unveil the GTX 460. I personally doubt it'll really beat a 5770, but it doesn't hurt to wait a week to find out
And if we ever get past these goddamn console ports, making the 5770/460 struggle, you can always stick in a second one at an even lower price by that time!

if you dont want to spend alot of money , 5770 with custom cooling from Saphire is the best choice, ask those who i adviced to buy one before on this forum if they are happy or not.

Exactly. With a new videocard (like the 5770 for example) you will be able to play flawlessy all the released games. I'm talking by experience, since I own an old e6600@3Ghz with a 4870 (1GB), and unless you don't play at insanely high resolutions and/or using 32xAA, you won't have any problem in terms of performance.
As for the yet-to-be-released games, the keyword is "console port": games like Mafia 2, The Witcher 2, DeusEx3, Mass Effect 3, Crysis 2 etc. will all have console roots, which probably means a better optimization at the cost of an equally probable reduction of the overall quality. And paradoxally this is a good thing for those who own an old rig  *
*j/k, it's absolutely NOT a good thing! |

If all goes well this is one I'm getting:
The reviews (although scarce) says that the card is really good. The only downfall is that you practically don't get anything besides driver CD and manual :\

Crossfire cable, dvi-vga adapters, 6-pin connector... look at the bundle that XFX, or Sapphire offer and you'll see what I'm thinking Not that it matter, I have LCD with DVI already, and new power supply have the 6-pin connector, plus I'm not gonna use crossfire  so... that+price is the reason I'm considering this one

I thought these were mandatory? Must be a really barebones release if they don't include even the cables... :\

I've never heard of VTX3D as a brand. I've stuck with Powercolor for all my ATI cards.

Yeah, at first I was: no cables?! But then I thought to myself: do I really need that? I plan on buying mid range pc: no extra cards (so no need for crosfire), I already have DVI-DVI cable, and Corsair 450VX has one 6 pin connector (I know because I bought that for my friend too, and his 4850 has one 6 pin connector)...
What matters to me is that it'll be able to play games at decent settings on 1680x1050 res, and that I'll be able to watch 720p movies at last

I heard that VTX has Artic Cooling coolers so that's a plus ^^ bundle is not that big deal imo...

Finally high def movies without stuttering!
Altho my sisters laptop + 32'' LCD in the living room do the job pretty well

Is it worth spending €55 on a HD5770 when I currently have a HD4580? I don't play games much really and the HD4850 is satisfactory, but selling my HD4850 + €55 seems like a decent deal.

@Mister_s
Not really, if you only use the card for browsing and video playback (DXVA), then there is no point, because whatever the 5770 can play, so can a 4580.
@dingo_d
Yep, I manage to play 1080p videos without any problem on my laptop's Core 2 Duo T5500 1.66MHz (no video acceleration from the GPU). I was surprised also. You sure you are not in the same boat now (OK CPU but codecs messing up performance)?

@Mister_s
Like Leo said, not really. For gaming it might be worth it though, the 5770 is marginally faster than a 4870, with one added benefit: DX11. Still not used a lot, but once it is it should give you more performance than under DX9/10 when tessellation is disabled
