Today at a computer fair I feel like I was mislead into buying a R7770. I paid $150 for it and was wondering if I was ripped off? How does this card perform? I haven't installed it yet.

Assuming you're talking US dollars, you can find 7770s around $90 new. You can find 7850s for less than $150 and you can find 7870s for around $170. So you overpaid.

Edit: Typing is hard.

I'm in Australia where we pay much higher in electronics. How does the card perform?

R7770's performance should be around previous generation HD6850 ~
Which quite good at 1080p
But higher resolution , u should have problem running ~
It is have low power consumption but high performance ~

Ok I have a low end computer. I think I have a AMD X2 Dual Core 2.6 ghz processor (sorry unsure of the model) and 4gb Ram. I only really play at 1600 x 900. How will it go?
 

Bloody hell, you shouldn't be buying a new card, you need to upgrade your entire platform. That old CPU would bottleneck an old GeForce 9800GTX+. No modern card will run properly with that antique.

As much as I would love that, I don't have the money. All my money has gone to (dare I say it on a PC website) a Playstation 4 (I'm a huge fan of console gaming as well as PC, but we can't have everything, right?).
My current GPU is the Radeon HD 5450. I'm in desperate need of an upgrade and very quickly.

Well like I said, I've already purchased it. If worse comes to worse I can sell it online, but even though I will have severe bottlenecking, could I play a game like Battlefield 4 on low-medium with no real issues?

Ok installation will be tomorrow. I just want a straight answer. 1600 x 900 resolution, any settings, how will Payday 2 perform?

Thank you, I just found my CPU. AMD Athlon II X2 215 (2 CPUs), 2.7GHz. How is this? Not great, but better than was expected?

Thanks heaps, but one more thing. I just got my CPU Specs. I have a AMD Athlon II X2 215 (2 CPUs), 2.7GHz. How will this play with the 7770?
