    to all intents and purposes the performance will be practically identical, but the 5750 has a better feature set (DX11, Eyefinity). I'd also mention that *that* 4850 doesn't support crossfire, but if you're putting it in a budget build then I doubt you'll be getting a crossfire capable motherboard anyway

    Given the prices, I'd snap up one of those 4850s, £62 is an amazing price for them, but both cards are very good value.

    I'm selling a hd4870 with aftermarket cooler in the for sale section if second hand is of interest to you?

    http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/gaming...w-32039-7.html has a nice list for getting your head round model numbers. If you're upgrading your monitor to something larger in the near future a 1gb card may be a wise investment.

    Out of thise two the 5750 would be my choice.
