    The 5750 is pretty weak - DirectX 11 sounds good and all, but I'm doubtful of that card's abilities to properly run any DirectX 11 games on the market. I can shave a few dollars off the price and at least put you into HD5770 territory.

    Not well, but when the new Bakin engine 1.0 gets up to temperature it sure smells good.

    Yep... they aren't much when 5770 can be found with $20 more... That sounds good in theory, though that's like 18% more cash and you're picking up 15% in performance. ATI has cards stacked $20 apart on this whole lower end, and they won't/can't move one without moving the whole stack.
    Here's a consideration when the GTX250 1Gb (3-4% lower) can be as low $95 there's a deal; although if your one to leave it idling 24/7 consider the 5750 over the long term.
    Lastly, Dx11 playable framerates aren't plausible with cards under $170 as it stands now, but it does give the support for all Win7 feature sets. Bear in mind as more titles are constructed from a ground-up framework (not over written) you might see some games that are passable with such cards. If you are Win7 and a card like this will be used for the next 12+ months it's a smart(er) choice to have it.

    I'd avoid this card for any real gaming. As others have said, it doesn't have the performance for make use of the dx11 features. I'd wait for Nvidia to release some new mid to low end competition for these cards and watch the prices drop.

    The talk of Nvidia having anything as GT100 derivatives is about June.

    By that point ATI should have their next architecture ready, because they've been staying to their engineering timing of 8-10 months. That clock started ticking back in September, so right now they'd be up for new cards in the next couple of months. Some reports indicate A1 has just tapped out. While it said it's not "Northern Islands" as that was to be on 28Nm process and TSMC at this point has flubbed up again, while Global Foundries isn't ready for prime time either. So the talk is a revision this time around on 40Nm and using parts of NI, while getting TSMS newer 'gate' process. So we'll have to wait!

    Yeah, weak on gaming titles just like that GTX 260 Core 216 card?
    Games played at resolutions like 1920x1220 with 4xAA such as Unreal Tournament, Team Fortress, Far Cry, Prey, Quake 4, STALKER or maybe Ridcarrot yeah weak with those... A GTX 260 Core 216 averages roughly 5-7% improvement than a 5750 in the "summary" of all the gaming and synthetic B-M's and this is not with 10.3 drivers! The GTX 260 cost like 70% more and let not talk about Peak power consumption it's "not like double" it is double that of the 5750's 66W!
