Well, I used some cash in my PayPal account and bought a VisionTech HD5770. It arrived today and it's a sweet video card. My old (VisionTech coincidently) HD4850 is noticeably less powerful and burned many more electrons at idle and load. The card also runs much cooler (reported by Catlalyst Control) and the fan so far has not exceeded 30% playing games. I paid $160 and sold my old card for $80 so don't feel guilty for spending the money. Too bad it's not a 5850 but I just couldn't justify the price for my modest needs. Anybody else bought a new card lately or got one for Xmas?
