I was thinking the same thing (I'm trying to mix sth up), and I saw that the reviews for 4770 are great... But then I saw 128bit and said... No way. If you only want it for HD (like in HTPC) purposes then yeah, go for it, but for gaming... It's better to go with 256bit cards...

It seems to fill the gap with it's faster GDDR5 memory. I only play at 1440x900 btw.

4770 is sometimes faster than the 4850
But it has alot more headroom OCing wise , it OCs almost always from 750 to 830.
And the very low power consumption and heat is very nice of course , along with the low price.

But for 1440x900 does he really need all that overclocking? The cards will melt any game you throw at them. 
Go with the cheaper.

Yeah, I guess I'll get the HD4770. Any objective reasons why I shouldn't go for Ati?

Because nVidia's logo looks cooler? That's about it.

Physx ? Better drivers and game support ?
That's about it. And everyone knows Nvidia is the way it's meant to be played.

Hm, I forgot about CUDA. Does it really have that much importance? It's been a while since I've read up on it, the difference seemed marginal. If I go for Nvidia it should be the GTS250, that's €130 so 30 euros more. 100 euros is really the limit.

For that money, I guess the 4770 is the better choice.
Youtube for mirror's edge physx etc. Or Cryostasis. Well, many games support PhysX nowadays.
Also check out the dudes with ATI cards who use a second nvidia card for the physx calculations, it's kinda lol, but maybe you have a spare card ?

Both the HD4770 and HD4850 are probably better than the GTS250 anyway. CUDA, you say? See Stream. Also, with the introduction of OpenCL, it remains to be seen how popular CUDA and Stream will be in the future (as if they are any popular now  ).

lol you have a 8800gt, you need no better card for physx use both cards (4770 + 8800 + W7) = win (as if PhysX has any win and not only FAiL)

No no, no highend gaming. If I can play my games at decent settings (med-high), it's enough. My highend gaming days are long gone.
HD4770 it is then. Thanks guys.

. How is €115 for a MSI GTS250? Worth the 20 euros extra over the HD4770? I'm interested in power consumption and heat though. The 8800GT I currently have is a nice card, but it definitely isn't the coolest card (with a Zalman).
