There's no GDDR5 for HD5730 only for 5750 and 5770

Pray hard for HD5770.It's a big upgrade from 4670 tongue.gif

It is pretty good especially for a non-hardcore gamer like me... But if a little bit of patience means i can get better goods for the same bucks, why not?

Yeah, I know that the 5730 doesn't have GDD3...that's why I said GDDR5 would have been very welcome instead of GDDR3.  Sad to see that Dell chose the 5730 over the 5750 or 5770.

From what I've read online, it seems that the ATI HD 5730 isn't really that much better than the ATI HD 4870. Other than native DirectX 11 support, the GDDR3 RAM creates a bottleneck so performance is gimped. Again, assuming that's true, I'm cursing myself and Dell for waiting so long...should have just gotten the ATI HD 4670 Studio XP instead. Suffered so long with integrated graphics!!
