As Zenbas has pointed out, you can buy a 4890 for that. Although, DX11 does look quite cool, and the HD 5770 does perform admirably at 1680x1050...

Will have to save my opinion for the review findings...
Now that I think about it, and looking at the benchies posted by Spookie here

I see that even in Crossfire, the 5770 is 1FPS slower than the 5870 and 7FPS faster than the HD5850 (in FarCry 2 at 1920x1200 8xAA). And considering that it retails for R2k RRP, and the HD5850 for R2k7 RRP, Tinman seems to be right about it being a bit overpriced.

But currently the prices are approximately 30% higher overall, so in time (hopefully by the time I buy a new PC) prices will have normalised.
