So where are the 78xx cards? Seems AMD is out to confuse the customer by chopping and changing model names every generation...

I honestly think W1zz just broke a world record in benchmarking graphics cards.
For how many hours have you benched HD7770s W1zz? 72 Hours straight?

And the HD7800 series will come out later this month\early march

Amazingly low power consumption. CF 2 cards and you are looking around 160w max for the cards and will give very decent performance.

Like W1z said if the cards are priced around the $130 I would definitely buy 2 and keep gaming for 2 more years happily.

As usual awesome review.

Well I wish 7770 had XFX's performance stock. But this looks to be the best option for the 7770's

I'm actually a little bit torn with that card. It definitely doesn't provide the best performance per dollar, but I could see it working out well in a htpc. Low power use but still capable of gaming.

mrthanhnguyen · Feb 16, 2012, 03:22 AM

they're more expensive than a 6870, and they are slower than 6870. thumb up or thumb down?

Wow looks like the card is really bandwidth starved. The factory overclock aside, with a measly 4% core OC and a pretty solid 25% memory OC, you get more than a 16% perf. boost.

Dj-ElectriC · Feb 19, 2012, 03:19 PM

Getting HD6850-like performance on a 128BIT card isn't an easy mission.
with my sample of the XFX HD7770SOC i got the memory to 1425Mhz and core to 1275Mhz, The performance increase was quite good
