Ok so I want to buy a new card, but I'm having trouble deciding which one to go for. All the cards that I've listed, I have found them priced between 80 and 150 Euro, and all have 1gb ram. Also if anyone knows the differences between the GT and GTS geforce cards please let me know.
My max budget is around 150 Euro.

Also I've posted this in Off-Topic as I'm not sure if it's better suited elsewhere.

Skip on the GT+GTS's, they're all based on the old G92 chip which was also used for the 8800/9800 family of cards (old stuff).

Out of those the 5770 is the best for the money.

Of the ones listed, the ATI ones are more powerful. Hardware is so far ahead of software right now that manufacturers are focused on making video cards smaller and more efficient rather than raw power, so either is fine, your choice for your money.
Tell that to Nvidia.

i like the AMD cards personally and the 5770 has a faster clock speed than the GTS 250 and also has GDDR5 ram rather than the GDDR3 of the GTS 250

which is why i recommend the Radeon 5770

NOTE: getting the specs for the GTS 250 was like getting blood out of a stone so if they are wrong blame techwiki.hardwarecanucks

Thanks for the help. I managed to find a very indepth review of the 5770 on guru3d after reading some of your comments. I reckon thats the one I'll go for.

Thanks for the help. =)
