As the Radeon HD 4770 is designed for the $109.99 MSRP and not to compete against the HD 4890 or GTX260, I limited my cards in performance comparison to other Radeon HD 4770s, GTS 250s which retail for $120 and the HD 4850 which is on sale for the same price point at Newegg at the moment. This should give the user a fair choice among similarly priced cards at the moment, as card prices change all the time.
