HIS Radeon HD 4770 Makes Early Appearance
AMD's newest line of desktop graphics cards in the making, Radeon HD 4700, will be launched in weeks to come. The Radeon HD 4770 model in particular, is the company's move to compete with NVIDIA's GeForce 9800 GT, while at some highly competitive price-points. Earlier in February, a sample made its way to Guru3D, which revealed quite a bit about the SKU. It looks like AMD's partners, at least HIS, is ready with its HD 4770 card, according to a press-shot leaked by Chinese website ITOCP.
The pictures show the card to feature a PCB visibly identical to the reference PCB candidate spotted on the Guru3D sample, while featuring a company-designed cooler. The cooler consists of a GPU block from which metal fins project radially, on which a fan is present, decked with a fancy shroud. Also pictured are the box design, and package contents. The common features of the Radeon HD 4770 are known to be: 40 nm RV740 GPU, 640 stream processors, 128-bit GDDR5 memory interface, and CrossFireX support. This card features 512 MB of memory. The price of this card is not known, though AMD reportedly set a US $99 target SEP price for the Radeon HD 4770.

you think 1gb vs 512mb cards would effect it that much?
I think I'm going to wait and get 4 of those:)
They got a test card a while back, as you can see it's closer to the 4850 in terms of performance
And this was just with a 4750, a 4770 is bound to be faster.
Nvidia prepare for another price cut , let's hope Nvidia parteners won't defect , they are greedy green bastards but they should restrain themselves.
the fact that gddr5 moves 2x the data of gddr3 at the same clock means that the memory being 128bit dosnt matter since the same bandwith is produced.
MSI has an interesting 4830OC card which can be O/C from 575 to 740Mhz stable and some for the mem... can't remeber but like that it is very near to performance of 4850.
GDDR5 is more expensive so I thnik it will not be overclockable significantly over the factory default.
Let's hope for the best.
