With all of these new AMD GPUs and the incredible scaling we are seeing, it is going to take some work to determine just how to spend your money.  The HD 5770 is usually found at the $160 mark, the HD 5750 at $130; compared to the $260 HD 5850 and the $390 HD 5870, the price differences are large enough that buying a pair of cheaper cards will still end up costing roughly the same.  Motherboards.org decided to find out if getting a pair of cards, or one with the plan of picking up a second in the future is viable, or if you are better off with a single more expensive GPU.

“Two HD 5770 cards perform better than a single HD5850 card and two HD 5850 cards perform much better than a single HD 5770 card. Considering the price of the two HD 5770s is nearly the same as a HD 5870 card I would suggest buying a single HD 5870 or HD 5850 depending on which price range. On the other hand, if you only have $160 a HD 5770 added to the system later will improve performance immensely in most applications. Two HD 5750s in Crossfire mode make for an attractive upgrade as well if you only have $130 to spend on a video card today.”
