No it wont be faster, it will be about the same. Just save your money and wait for the RV 8XX series ;).

Awsome its already on newegg :D

 

Hey make sure to overclock your 4770 now those are going to be the important results...damn is it close to the 4850 at stock clocks

 

If i didn't have a really good deal on a 9800GTX+ already in the mail than i surely wouldn't have to second guess buying the 4770 :??:

 

I actually still may pick one up...

The only thing i won't have tomorrow is Xfire numbers. I don't believe the cards come with the bridges so i have to order them from the egg.

To the OP,

The 9800GTX+ is at least as fast as the HD 4850. In some benchmarks significantly faster.

The HD 4770 is meant to replace the HD 4830 and some preliminary benchmark from a Chinese site pegs the HD 4770 to be 10% - 12% slower on average compared to the HD 4850.

The HD 4770 is not for you unless you are looking for less performance.

Xbit shows it hanging with the GTS250 which is essentially the GTX+;
http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/v [...] html#sect1

 

But the main thing is that it's not an improvement, it's essentially a tie at best with +/- performance around the same level as the GTX+ from that review.

 

The only area that is impressive is the power consumption;

But if your system already supports your GTX+ then that's not a major concern for you.

 

Performance wise not faster than what you have.

It might still make sense to sell a 9800gtx+ and buy one of these.

Check and see the prices of Nvidia hardware on ebay. I'm pretty certain you'll be able to get $110 for a 9800gtx+.

Here in the netherlands they're selling for €95,- plus the store I will buy it from owes me a €10,- discount.

€85,- for a 4770 :) as long as it's quiet and low on power I'm good for it!

Whilst i have no real interest in this card, i was wondering, if not used for any 3-d stuff, would you even need the extra power connector?

From what i understand it onlu just goes outwith the scope of the pci-e slot's power supply so i can only assume in 2-d mode it may well fit.

Its $110 on Newegg. No point in selling a 9800GTX+ and getting. Other than power savings, even with GDDR5, the 9800GTX+ beats it (The 4850 beats it in Toms' article, so naturally the GTX+ does.)

I'm going to get one of these cards but I'm kind of on the cliff about waiting until a 1gig version comes out. Of course the downside to that is the price will be higher and I can get a stronger card overall for the price. I'm not sure weather to settle with 512mb and crossfire since I game at 1900x1200.

I thought there wasn't going to be a 1GB version.
