Default Best $100 used GPU

Might have sold my 4890. It was benched and is just a gamer now. Don't see me getting a GPU POT anytime soon, so off it goes.

Looking for a benching first/gamer second card. I know I won't get an equivalent gamer at that price... but I have seen 5770's going pretty cheap on forums. $85/90 shipped.

Looking for recommendations. Based on bointability as well as general cool running case performance.

Don't care what camp, although based on price used ATI is probably where I will end up. The only 200 series card that was near a 4890 is the 285 IIRC, and I'm just trading one hot loud card for another.

460 is an upgrade I believe but falls to far out of the $100 used range :(

100 is a guideline. $120 would be doable if it massively outperforms a 5770.

Thanks in advance for any tips suggestions.
