6770 recognized as 5770

Hey guys, I'm just wondering about this problem my friend recently encountered. He just patched his drivers for his 6770 to the latest ones but it's now recognized as a 5770. It was showing up as a 6770 before. Anybody have any ideas why this is happening and how to fix it?

Er... Might just be a slip-up from AMD's driver support, but it shouldn't affect anything really. The 6770 is a 5770.

This is happening because a 6770 basically IS a 5770. AMD must not have updated their newest drivers to differentiate between the 2.

lol this is even beyond Nvidia's famous rebranding.GazaAli

Nahh.. It's just like the 8800gt/9800gt, and the 8800GTS 512/9800 GTX/GTX+/GTS 250.

It isn't a bad thing when you consider that the 6770 is the new 5670.

8800GTS 512/9800 GTX/GTX+/GTS 250 they all performed differently on stock settings....

[QUOTE="Gambler_3"]9800GT I believe is more power efficient and overclocks ever so slightly better so atleast there is something going for it.

Is there anything wrong with that? The 5770 is a great card.

The 9800gt's that first came out were exactly the same as the 8800gt's. There was no difference. They were both 65nm, 112 core G92s with the same exact core and memory speeds. After a little while they starting putting out the 55nm 9800gt's, and then some green versions that are slower.

Sure, the GTS 250 is slightly faster than a 9800GTX+, which is every so slightly faster than a 9800GTX or GTS 512. They are all using the same basic GPU and memory setup though. Obviously there are some 1GB versions of the GTS 250, but added VRAM doesn't do that much for you at most resolutions.

[QUOTE="gmaster456"] But they did however perform very similar. That was his point

There can be a noticible difference between 512MB and 1GB VRAM these days.

Btw dont quote me on that but the last time I checked the GTS 450 was hardly better than GTS 250 so that's pretty bad as well for nvidia.

Yeah the GTS 450 was a bit of a disappointment since the 5770 costs around the same and outperforms it. I can let it slide with the success of the GTX 460, 560, and 570 though :P
