Let me explain something to you since you're obviously not getting it.

Yes, a stronger card will generally have a higher Pixel/Texel fill-rate.

NO, that does not mean you should ever use that as an indicator of performance.

A 5770 can be found for around $80 as you said. A 750Ti can be found for around $110-120 on eBay. Given that it's 2015 and the 5770 came out in 2009, I would highly recommend against getting it. Stick with the two most recent generations if you want to get a good bang-for-your-buck.

As well, Dlgn has a laptop, so he cannot add a graphics card without replacing it with a better laptop or a desktop.
YES HE CAN with an external GPU or if he has MXM slot.

"a stronger card will generally have a higher Pixel/Texel fill-rate".... NO NEARLY ALLWAYS HAVE PROOF OTHERWISE ?

It is a fast lesser known way to find older cheap cards which is all you need to worry about or you might as well buy the best card out at the time.

You could find 2 strong looking cards quickly from rates, then compare them if you're that bothered, myself I go rates then price "that will do".
Literally everything you said is completely and totally wrong.
"Yes, a stronger card will generally have a higher Pixel/Texel fill-rate"
Not a lot of people realise you can find a cheap fast card this way NOW YOU DO.

Dlgn, completely ignore Macrofeet. He's talking about of his bum.

If you want a solid comparison between two cards, google benchmarks for each of them, and then compare that way. Specs mean almost nothing when comparing graphics cards.

Learn to discuss without resorting to insults, It’s a sign of incompetence.

If you disagree you should voice your opinion, but do it in a way that matters.

I don't think we will agree & I doubt the OP actually cares now... time to let it go
