Is 7770 vapor x is a good card for gaming??

It would indeed run that game at 1920x1080 at high settings. Though you might want to look at getting a 7850 to make sure the game will run as smooth as you'd like it to as the 7770 might have some slight stuttering in that game at a higher resolution.

If you're playing at 1680x1050 or lower though the 7770 is more than enough to max out that game.

im thinking on choosing GTX 550 ti.. but my friends say that 7770 have the same performance with GTX 550.. is that true??? i want to play games in high settings in this resu..1360x768

the 7770 should be overall better than the 550ti, consumption and performance wise.

can you explain it???

its newer technology, so it consumes less power from the PSU, it simply performs better(it performs just under a 6850/gtx 460 level). It will run cooler and overclock higher(probably) than the 550ti can.

mmm actually i want to buy a gtx 550..but your telling me that HD7770 vapor x is better.. can this 7770 vx can max out max payne 3??

At 1360x768 the 7770 will have no issues at all with Max Payne 3. You'd be enjoying some smooth game play.

but what actually makes HD 7770 more powerful than GTX 550?? and also what "GTX" GPU can perform the same as HD 7770?

Different tests and reviews show that the 7770 is faster. The cards use different architecture so a direct comparison isn't necessarily accurate to explain 'what exactly' is the reason. If you want a GTX card you'd be looking at a 560.

i mean not exactly the same GPU performance..do you think an HD 7770 can match a GTX 560?

the 7770 is closer to a Gtx 460/Hd 6850/Gtx 560SE. only the 6870 is the relative equivalent of the Gtx 560

so it is really powerful than GTX 550 ti

thanks a lot..i ll choose HD 7770..
