@Replican815 nonono see the 6870 IS indeed much faster than 5770 however they dont number it based on the exact performance of the previous. like just looking at the top cards the 5770 5850 and 5870 the 6870 would be succesor to 5770 and the 6950 would be 5850 and 6970 is replacing 5870...its a newer card so it is expected that it performs much better.
and amd just screwed up their naming system when they changed their name from ati to amd they thought it would be funny to mess with us or somt
@megamindstorm101 Okay, I just figured that the 6870 was way too fast to be the direct successor of the 5770. Comparing the 5770 and 6870 would be like comparing the GTX 460 and GTX 550 ti, respectively- both are fast cards, it's just that the 550 falls right in the middle, whereas the 460 is upper-middle class.
@Replican815 sorry to break it to you but ATL is partially right, a lot of people say 6870 is succesor to 5770 but I think the 6850 is the succesor the 5770, AMD did change their numbering system.
@Replican The 6870 is a lot better than the 560 for one, but my point is that the 5770 and the 6870 are the same type of card, just one is AMDs newer version, they switched their system, now the 6900 are the high end and the 6800 the mid/high end. In the 5000 series the 5800 were the high end, while the 5700 were the mid. So my point is that the 6870 is the successor to the 5770, so if you're going to compare, those cards are the modern comparison, you should compare a GTX 260 or 460 to a 5770.
@ATLMember Actually, the GTX 560 and 6870 are about equal if the 6870 isn't just a bit better. The GTX 560 and Radeon 6870 are made for gaming, and so is the 5770, but my point is that the GTX 560 and 570 are far more powerful than the 5770 since the Radeon 5770 is a budget card, not something overly powerful.
@xSnipErxInTeRVeNTiOn Yeah you can play both, I have this card and I play BF3 on high settings with no trouble.

@megamindstorm101 I'll just say "I agree" because I can't even follow or understand this conversation anymore.

@ATLMember I'm pretty sure the 6770 is the successor of the 5770.
