Answer #1
I don’t understand why you are comparing completely different cards? A �80 one to a �200+ pound one. Obviously the 4890 is one of the newest out, has more memory and it’s processing speed is higher.
It depends on how much you want to spend, you will be getting a better card for the �200 pounds but will you use it to its full effect, do you play games, edit videos etc? Then I would go for the 4890.
But if you don’t use anything that demanding for graphics I think the 4770 will be suffice and should work well. ATI are a good brand, they are at the top with Nvidia and shouldn’t encounter problems, and you should be covered by warranty.
Answer #2
Well im trying to say, is the 4890 actually WORTH the money right now? Or is the cheaper card better? I want to play games like crysis on full @ 1440×1200
Answer #3
Obviously 4890 is the way to go if you want it to last and get real performance.

I think it would be worth it, only if you used it fully, it has had some great benchmarks and you would definitely see the difference between the 4890 and the 4770.
Answer #5
both are a beauty,
how much does this worth??
Answer #6
I would get the 4770, midrange grunt.
Unless you are loaded you shouldn’t get the expensive one.
