Default ATI HD4770 - Worth it?

I've been reading about this card and checking out its benchmarks in various reviews. At around $100 USD, it sounds and looks like a decent upgrade to my HD3870.

What is your opinion? Good for the price? or No?

That shouldn't be too long of a wait. The 9.5s are due out today sometime.

Buy it and just in case keep your 3870 to next month. 4770 is fresh card and it can have temporary problems with drivers etc.

I would love to [read the reviews about the Crossfire performance] but my MSI only has one PCIe slot. That problem should be fixed a bit later this year.

It's very close to 4850 by what I've seen.

Hmm, I will tell something to you.... I'm using now radeon hd3850 and it is enough for me and when i get it i planned to change my gpu only when will show up new radeons with support for new DirectX 11. IMO buying any newer dx10(.1) gpu when u have so good one is just waste of money.

I agree with Spectator. You should either wait for the 5800 series and get those because of DX11, or wait for the 5800 series to come out and buy a 4870 or 4870 X2 for much less money.
