Cons: Mine Did Not Handle 1100 MHz OCFan Attachment is Cheap
Pros: Quiet OperationVery Good Mid-Range PerformanceLow Power/Heat SpecsMemory OC d 5000 MHz is Rock Solid |
Overall, I am quite pleased with this videocard, as I not only wanted to play a few games, but also not get one with a vacuum-cleaner for a fan or that gulps Hydro like a pig. The fact that it comes factory overclocked to 1100 core/5000 memory (compared to 1000/4500 stock) is a bonus.This card fit the bill perfectly for my needs, and although the HD 6850 is marginally a better value on paper, I doubt any similar price-performance model would be as quiet or sip power like the HD 7770. I am very impressed by the performance for $120 (after rebate) and would buy it again in a heartbeat.The only negative was that after intensive testing, a few FPS games showed graphical issues and locks, and I was forced to lower the factory-overlocked clock to 1050 just to make sure - it's rock solid there and I jacked the memory a bit (from 5000 MHz OC stock) a bit to compensate.This card also supports manual fan speeds and power increases via the Catalyst Overdrive.
