    Exclusive: XFX Radeon HD 4770 [Review]

    Roydon Cerejo, Apr 28, 2009 2131 hrs IST

    Boo-ya! We review the world's first 40nm graphics card - the XFX HD 4770

    Great performance, custom cooler, good overclocker, low power consumption

    No overclocking software, occupies two slots, expensive

Design and Construction 




 





The 'X' shaped boxes seemed to be reserved for high-end cards as the HD4770 sports a more modest-looking rectangular box. The graphics however are the same as the HD4890, which seem to be the theme for all 4xx series cards.


 





 

The XFX HD4770 in all its glory

Can anyone tell me where can I buy it in Pune? I am not able to find even ATI cards in some of the prominent shops in Pune. I was actaully looking for 4850, but I think this one looks better.

I guess you can, but the card will work at reduced speed since it of PCI Express 2.0 and one on your mboard is PCI Express.

You can definitely use the card on that mobo without any performance loss since its a midrange card. Right now, MSI seems to have a very competitive pricing of around 6.5K (in Delhi at least) so if you can find one for similar pricing, its a steal.

Well, i got one, the Diamond 4770 at Frys here in the USA. It is kinda a high price, but since May all prices went up on Disk & Video about 10%. Issue is it needs newer drivers, 9.4 does not seem to load for it. it seems slick, i'll be testing it out and comparing to 4850.

congrates for bringing the first available retail card review. You should consider that a modest testbench while reviewing a mass market graphics card. This will give more appropriate understanding of how the card will perform on an average joe's pc. keep up your good work :)

Nice review and test system but I think the appropriate nvidia card to use as comparison would be the 9600GT and not the 9800GT. When you're not comparing the "cream-of-the-crop" "monies no issue" components it more comes down to "bang-for-the-buck". The current price of the HD4770, here in Canada is $130.00 so also the 9600GT at $130.00 but the 9800GT is retailing at $160.00. Also, to be fair, the nvidia comparison card should have been over-clocked to show it's maximum potential.

"Occupies two slots" can hardly be considered a negative. It's practically the de facto standard now. Jeez.
