There are 3 things in a gaming computer
A gpu replaced every 1 or 2
A proccesor that won't bottleneck the GPU
A fast speed ram and a decent amount
Ati 5770= ati 4870 but not as reliable
ati 4870 = performs better or equal to 5770
NEW GPU's coming into the market work = First year new line of GPU's
Second Year Improved versions of the first year GPU's
Third Year new GPU's etc.....
Basically Ati 5xxx series came out last november and Nvidia GTX 4xx Series came out last March.. Ati will release better models of their high end chips like 5870 and 5790
Nvidia on the other hand has terrible first year GPU's because they suck tons of power and the second year are much better..
People perfer Ati because if they had a 4870 and 5xxx series came out they can just get another 4870 and they beat 5870.
Others prefer Nvidia because they offer better drivers but their GPU's cost much more then Ati
