HD5770 or GTX285

[grabbi_21]

Guys, I know these aren't 2 top of the line cards but I just want to build a second cheap PC. Which is the best overall card as I need to sell one of them? I only really play far cry and call of duty.

If there's nothing between them, which is worth the most to sell?

Thanks.

I would keep the HD5770.

Based on what? Personal manufacturer/driver preference?

The GTX285 seems to come out on top in all these tests, and uses less power.

Based on the fact most games are DX11 now and the GTX285 is DX10. Games like WoW actually run faster under DX11. Most of the reviews with the GTX285 still in them are testing much older games.

The GTX285 uses massively more power too,and the HD5770 is a very efficient card. It barely needs the single 6 pin PCI-E power connector it has.

Having said that I would probably sell both cards on Ebay:

You could probably get enough money to buy a newer and faster card like an HD7850.
