More bang for my buck.

I'm upgrading my GPU on my computer, and have narrowed it down to two reasonable choices:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102834

Which would be the better buy? I'm upgrading from a Nvidia 9100 series.

My computer specs are:

Windows 7 64-bit
8 GB RAM
1 TB HDD.
AMD Athlon IIx4

You can get a 5770 for the price of that 5750, and the other card isn't DX11 capable, not that there are many DX11 games out atm anyway. Most 57XX series also supports Eyefinity which is a big pro, but the one you picked doesn't. <Shamelessly pandering his Eyefinity 5750 in the B/S section> Might be a bit better for you if you say what your absolute budget is and then let others work from there, as there me be cards that you thought were out of reach but really aren't.

Budget would be below 150$, not looking for top of the line or being first on any benchmark scores, just a solid upgrade from what I currently have.

Using the card with the coupon code on it I got at the midnight Starcraft II launch, I was able to get a GTX 470 for 20% off when ordering directly from EVGA's site along with a $20 mail-in rebate for a total of $260 with free shipping. Retail price is $350. Both the rebate and coupon code offer expire on August 2nd.

I have a GTX460, often wonder if i should have gone for a 470 instead, but meh.
Trying to persuade op to increase his budget by a little bit, since the performance/dollar ratio is so much better once you get closer to 200 dollars

Deal ends tomorrow, and my replacement debit card hasn't arrived yet. (Got lost) Really can't go above 150$, since I couldn't see myself paying anymore then that, and wife would kill me.

Got this a week ago. Works great.

This for real? I'll pick this up instead if it's not a ripoff. Says the item has been on sale for 5 years, which is why I doubt it. Egon has a very nice suggestion, but if this is better, I'll get one of these instead.
