Well if 4770 can performs on par with 4850, it's a great choice.

6x fps is quite impossible to happen for crysis. haha

4850 can handle 1440 900 reso without problem but definitely <60 with high settings and AA on

As I said earlier, it's quite impossible to get 60+ fps in crysis. Not even with a powerful gc and proc.

I finished crysis on 8800gts 320mb on same reso and warhead with 4850. Both works fine just certain scenes had some 15-20fps, tat's all. Google for some crysis tweaking, can squeeze out more fps with eye candy. Crysis is not that hard to run at playable fps actually, just don't max the settings. I can get like 30-35 fps throughout the game, with some exceptions such as boss fight of course.

Just fast fast finish the game then headache gone

p/s i'm running 4850 on 1920*1080 reso now, no problem with most of the game titles. Never try crysis thou, haha. If you not really serious into graphics intensive games such as FPS, can just get 4850.

Waste RM100++ for a sucky sound card is just not worth it, use the money to get a better GC directly is more practical.

4770 is a great value card atm. If only it comes out earlier

Just bare with the sound, I'm using reference 4850 with stock cooling. Running the fan speed at 60-70 still very acceptable to me, casing just on my right.

If you really need a silent setup up, don't get the reference board, get the one with better stock cooling.
