Thread: ATI Radeon HD 4770

Here's the latest from the AMD labs - The ATI Radeon HD 4770, which has the world's first 40-nm GPU, codenamed the RV740. With a 40-nm GPU, the card works out more economical for AMD to manufacture. The PCB of this card is an inch shorter than the HD 4850, but due to ATI's cooling solution for this card, it still takes up two I/O slots.

We used an Intel QX9650 GHz and 4 GB of DDR2 memory at 1066 MHz. We tested the games at these resolutions: 1600 x 1200 and 1920 x 1440, with 4x AA and 4x AF, out of these Crysis gave us the lowest scores - 14 and 11 fps (as expected). We also tested Doom 3, which gave us fps almost touching 150 fps, The layout of the EG45MUD2H is such that it fits all the necessary elements within its mATX form factor There's only a single PCle slot Prey giving us about 75 fps at the higher settings, Unreal Tournament III gave us 42 fps at the higher settings. F. E.A. R. barely went over 62 fps whereas Company of Heroes gave us 104.8 fps on the higher settings. These results clearly show that even though this card will not give you the best performance at higher resolutions for all games, it will give decent results at resolutions up to 1280 x 1024. Not everybody is after building the world's fastest PC, but there are people who still want to just upgrade 70 their rigs without actually spending too much. For people looking to buy a graphics card with a budget of not more than Rs. 8,000, this is the card to go for.
