Like the title says, I'm looking for a new card that is about twice as fast as my current 9600 GSO 384MB card. I really don't game much any more so I'm not really going for the high end stuff. Monitor is 1600x1200 and I usually don't use AA at that res.
So is a 5750 in the 2X league? They are about 100.00 now so that seems like a pretty good deal.
 
I think the 5770 is a good upgrade, im in the same boat though...

+1 to this. In addition, what PSU do you have? Exact make and model please.

Q6600 slightly OCed to 2.8, Antec 650 PS, HDTV tuner, 4 HDD's. Since pretty much any mid-range card that is out now is less power hungry than my old 9600 GSO, I don't think the PS will be an issue.
How much faster is the 5770 than the 5750... 10%? Do 5750's generally OC well?

Had to ask that question since we do get a lot of people in here trying to power a HD 5770 off a shitty 500W PSU barely capable of providing 150W of power.

And to follow through: Which Antec 650W PSU? And how long have you had it? There was one somewhat bad Antec 650W PSU actually.

But yeah, definitely spend the extra cash for the HD 5770. The HD 5750 1GB is not worth buying unless it's at $110 or so.
