ATI Radeon HD 4770 Specs

It's not going to be faster than the 4870 as it has the same clock speed but less shaders, lower memory clock and a smaller memory bus. Of course the 4870 is going to need a drop in price but that has been in the works for a while now anyway.

So despite the supposed performance gains stemming from the 40nm technology, you're saying the apparent lower capabilities of this card will limits its "threat" to cards like the 4870?

It's still an r700 so it will perform like one except it should overclock more and have lower power requirements.

What would be interesting would be if it had gone through the same optimisations as the 4890 had. That's unlikely though, so yeah basically it's a lower spec 4870 with better overclockability and drawing a lot less power. The power part is already obvious but the overclocking ability remains to be seen but it should chew up most games on 1680x1050 and below.

The 4830 already kills the 9800GT since it's the same performance but 75% of the price.

wonder how the 4770 CF compares to the GTX 285?

It would be like 4850 CF except with less heat and less power draw.

Lots of ATI Radeon HD 4770 info now in the forums! Not a game-changing card, but as the main site reads: "Well played ATI, well played."

Honestly....I just want a 4770X2. Sapphire did it with the 4850, so why not now when they have less power consumption?
