Gigabyte Radeon HD 7770

[ryan20fun]

Hi all.

New here 😀

I plan on getting the "Gigabyte Radeon HD 7770" soon from a local store called "Matrix warehouse computers".
I am from "South Africa", So the online stores in the U.S wont help me.

Now onto the questions:
What is the quality of this Gigabyte card( i assume it will be Rev 2 ) ?
Are there any issues associated with AMD GPU's and or Gigabyte ?
On a side note: Will any Gigabyte 7770 have a "DVI-I" port( as i require one) ?

Side notes:
Its a toss up between this and a "Forsa Geforce 650"
The price between the two cards is negligible.

The main thing is i want to know that i am going to be getting a good card, Irregardless of brand.

Extra info:
I am not worried about Cuda or PhysX as im sure i can live without them.

System specs:
AMD FX-8120
MSI FXA-GD65
Samsung 18.5" Analog LED LCD

Many thanks.

Q1: It is a good card, but I don't know in very detail of how gigabyte cards are. It would be really nice if you send me a link that says the description of the card plus photos.
Q2: No, Gigabyte is a pretty known brand for GPU
Side Note 1: Almost all GPUs nowdays has a dual link DVI-I Port, which supports both analog and digital DVI believe
Side Note 2: 7770 is way better than the 650 non-Ti

yes, their pre-oc model comes with dual-link DVI-I port. HD7770 is better than 650 (non-Ti).. btw, Forsa is a China brand..it should evaluate its quality...
