How to compare to HD 4890?

4890 is a significantly more powerful card, but the 5750 is DX11, so you can't really compare the two. If you need DirectX 11 then get the 5750 or 5850. 5750 is more like the 4850 in a sense, which the 4890 just destroys. Personally I would get the 4890 cause I don't game directX11 yet.

#1 Apart from what #2 said, you can think of this card as a 4750 equivalent. ATI's naming convention is such that the 5750 is the DX11 version of the 4750 and is positioned accordingly in terms of performance.

It's "almost" always better to go with the higher tiered product when it's only 1 generation older. BY the time there are enough DX11 games to care about the 5750 will seem a bit slow. It already does on games like Far Cry 2 with a modern 1680x or higher res monitor.

When taken it the context of ATI's matrix this is considered less in it's hierarchy than a 4850. We tend to judge it only by it's price against the current market pricing structure. To see this for what it is you need to consider it as the next version of a 4750 (if they had release such a card), while the 5770 is the next iteration of the 4770. And AMD really set the pricing for 4770 right on target almost right at release and it really hasn't need to budge on it.

Once competition returns and these cards drop into the discounts place of 4890's and 4870's it will be more sensible. I'd say we'll could see these at $80-90 once Nvidia can get a Dx11 capable card in the market and can put some pressure on the market...Till then this is what we get.

Oh brother you sound like the biggest fruit. Are you twelve or is something wrong with your development in general?
