radeon 4770? Anyone else own it?

I recently bought an XFX Radeon 4770 512MB card from Newegg, and it is awesome!! I went from a Radeon 3850 256MB card and the difference is amazing. I can play almost all of my games, even the newest ones at highest settings, except for Crysis of course. I can play it on all high settings with 2X AA at 30+ Fps. It is a great card. Even AoC, which is a pretty graphic demanding game looks great and runs at 30-45+ fps on all high settings. For $109 it was a good upgrade.

I hear those guys are amazing in CrossFireX. They easily out preform a 4890 for the same price. If you ever feel like that single card is showing a little age it'll probably be really cheap to get another for CrossFireX.

Also the 4870 is selling for $135ish right now, which is the best bang for you buck of any video card I know of right now.

You can play Crysis on very high? What CPU do you have? I only have an athlon X2 dual core 5000+, I think if I had a better CPU I would probably be able to get higher settings also. But it still looks really good on all high settings. I can't do DX10 either because I am still using winxp. How about you? Do you have DX10?

Think a 4770 is amazing? Grab a 5770 and you'll have the performence of a HD 4870/GTX 260. With barely any heat, and uses a lot less power.

yeah, me too. I will have to get a better PSU though. I only have a 500W right now. Works great with just the one card, but i'll probably need at least a 750W to crossfire.

happy purchase :P btw what ur max resolution monitor ?

I have a 19" Viewsonic Widescreen monitor with a 1440X900 resolution. I'm happy with it.;)

well a very good card for the 1280x1024 version that as less pixel but 16:9 instead of 4:3 :P but it both comparable you don't really notice that it ad less pixel line then 1280x1024 but it good

i have it and it's amazing indeed. I can even play crysis on very high settings 35fps . Plays all other games on maximum . vegita92

ist better than the HD4850 512 ?

no 4770 is about the power of HD4830 don't mistake with hD4850 sorry dude :Pmarcthpro

I get 35 fps with my gtx275 on 1280x1024 :S

will i have the 4850 , and i just want to know if i overclock it , will that give me exta performance ? dose it worth ?

tomshardware review lately ad being having lot of flaw for current ATI Driver & Testing method at last for being very accurate from what i saw before tough it a good place.. and now well it hard to find benchmark with both HD4830 / 4770 512mb / 4850 512mb with like ATI CCC 9.8 & higher
http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2009/08/26/galaxy-geforce-gts-250-1gb-review/4

so it a Good Card But anyway of today you can get HD4870 at 125$ and HD4850 at 90$-100$ :P

[QUOTE="vegita92"][QUOTE="wooooode"] What resolution? Because it cant be very high, that card is nice but not high end like that.Too_tight_shoes

I get 35 fps with my gtx275 on 1280x1024 :S

gunit3000

Damnit even the reviews for the card are behind me the 4770 averages 30fps on high... very high you would be lucky to get a solid 20 with no AA.

may you be enlighten with knowledge and scientific proof http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/ATI/Radeon_HD_5870_CrossFire/7.html

Thank you see mine was an estimate, and you think now that he runs it at 35fps with no AA? im sorry but 2xAA doesn't hack out 15fps, and the reviewer is using an overclock i7.

probabely patch & newer Drive and the core i7 is overclock it sure but core i7 overclock isn't that hard and not that costy a mobo 200$ : Ram 100$ : cpu 245-265$ and then a cpu cooler 35-50$ then you'r goood for OC It at huge perofmrances

Tough ic an tell if you see how pc changed from 2007 price perspective to today it 2x cheaper and twice more performance per $ :D : 150$+ Was mobo back there and cpu mostly 250$+ for Dual core 3600 to 4600x2 and 450-500$ for Those 5600x2 today it just so cheaper and much better

how ever it up to people what they spend and if it worth it : A core 2 duo huge OC would probabely end up same result in 75% of game. so would an phenom II X4 but in benchmark you need to know x-driver - x-patch if game ad patch

i can show plenty of benchmark similar where it show a nice OC processor is mostly all in the same fps tough core i7 920 OC win in majority of benchmark such as Core i7 920 3.8Ghz at 66fps while a Phenom II X4 955 at 3.94Ghz woudl give 62-65fps and a core 2 duo E8600 from 55-60fps depending if the game is optimized for multi-core rather then just dual core

but even those game not made to get more power then from single core / Dual core does get boost from current core i7 / Core 2 Quad / Phenom II X4 If you Oc them at high Frequancy since you have less Cpu usage stress / and probabely bunch of what ever other reason behind it that i can't explain in simple word

how Ever in most of benchmark few game remain untouch by Frequancy at higher then 1920x1200 by more then 2-3fps such as if you ad 5870 1GB with E8400 3.6Ghz ot 4.0Ghz : no dif for Cryisis in fps but the system would have less stress and alt-tab faster and the overall speed of everything else would be faster in most of case

But anyway i tell those people who think they can max Cryisis with low gpu they need to provide a REAL VIDEo footage of those FPS with Fraps since fraps doesn't lie :P

can somebody help to increase the voltage of the4850 to make higher overclock results , and program if nessary ?

It runs Crysis at about 35 fps at high in a lot of areas. But certain areas like entering a village with a lot of enemies, the frame rate can dip into unplayable levels - which sucks because that's were you require fluidity the most.

the hd 4770 is a tad scyzophrenic when it comes to preformance at times it out preforms the he 4870 but tohers it can even hold a candle to the 9800gt. he 4850 or 4830 are much more stable.

Thank you see mine was an estimate, and you think now that he runs it at 35fps with no AA? im sorry but 2xAA doesn't hack out 15fps, and the reviewer is using an overclock i7.

Sorry dude, but it's simple math.

1280x1024 = 1310720 pixels

1280x720 = 921600 pixels

So 720P has roughly 70% of the pixels that a resolution of 1280x1024 delivers. The numbers that vegita92 stated are correct, if he's running Crysis on a 15% (roughly) overclocked 4770 @ 720P he should be getting roughly 35fps
