Looks like a pretty powerful choice from what I see on the benchmarks.
I'm not a huge fan of Ati, they kinda left a sour taste in my mouth years ago when I bought one of the original Radeons.
That being said, there's no denying the fact that Ati has the most powerful video cards in the industry.
This Saphhire HD 6770 appears to have better benchmarks than my Nvidia Geforce 295.
That is quite impressive and I would totally recommend this card. ^_^

Here is where I found the benchmarks.

Sapphire mid and low end cards sometimes have issues with construction, if you're skilled enough to re-seat heat sinks, then they aren't a bad buy. All of my sapphire cards have performed like animals. On the other hand, I've had to re-seat two out of the three sapphire cards I've owned.

If money is not an issue, I'd go for a GTX 550. Less driver problems, Physx and slightly more performance.

Although you can just choose whichever one you like, Tom's Hardware recommends HD 6770.

I'd get a XFX Radeon HD 6790 Dual Fan. You get better cooling, less noise and a slight increase in performance.

go for that instead!

i have a Radeon HD 6770

and i really wish i would have gotten the one with the 256 bit interface! that 128 bit is like ancient technology from 5 years ago now. if you can afford it get that top link! (the 6850)

Edit:
The 6770 is a decent card. my PC runs games great with it but as far as i understand that 128 bit card can only push 128 bits of info on the screen at any one time, however the 256 being twice as big would be twice as fast i imagine. At least I'd like to think thats how it works. =S someone correct me if im wrong.

best bang for ur buck

http://www.amd.com/us/products/desktop/graphics/ati-radeon-hd-4000/hd-4870X2/Pages/hd-4870X2.aspx

you can find some of these for like 50-60 bucks on ebay .... that's like 30-40 euros

great value and able to run just about anything.

seriously the best card you can get. only downside is it only goes to dx10.1 but that shouldn't be a problem as most games dont even use 10.1 to begin with. and all those that use 11 also use 10.1 so really isn't a problem at all really.

only other prob u might have is you're going to need a powersupply powerful enough to run it all. and must have adequate cooling

Radeon 6870 best bang for the buck

The 6790 runs on 256-bit. If it helps.
