XFX Radeon HD 7770 Monster Graphics Card Spotted
XFX's 7770 Monster has been spotted and reviewed.
In January, XFX launched its Radeon HD 7750 Monster graphics card. Now the HD 7770 Monster has been pictured and will likely hit the market soon.
The graphics card will have factory overclocked settings, where the core speed will be 1,100 MHz and memory speed at only 5.0 GHz. For reference, AMD's reference specifications have core speed at 1,000 MHz and memory at 4.5 GHz. The card carries 1 GB of GDDR5 that runs on a 128-bit memory interface. These numbers are exactly a 10 percent jump over the reference numbers, and the scores in the review rise accordingly.
The PCB and cooler are nearly identical. The heatsink is a simple heatspreader covered by a plastic shroud with a center fan. The cooler blows air both into the computer case and out the rear.
The card will first be released in China with no word yet of pricing or U.S. availability.
The 7770's an entry level card. I think that people who go for entry level cards like these don't really go for aesthetics(probably because windowed cases cost aren't available all that cheap. But it would be really nice to see things like rgb led's being included with mid-high end cards like 7870/660 - 7970/680. Titan's LED is already being put to good use by evga's precisionx.
The upside is these types of fans are quieter at higher rpm than blower types.
agree on the quietness, and I agree that those types of fans CAN do good on other brands, but look at the exhaust area on the second pic - there is the XFX cutout of the metal, thats it. Highly unlikely that fan is blowing 50% out the back.
I stand by my Fail!
That's a bit harsh
The 7770 VGA is capable playing games in respected resolutions and settings, not the highest settings but really worth it's money. It's a cost effective card, round about $100, not many can beat that!
Replaced my Nvidia 8800 GTS 512 with 7770 now.
In euro the 8800 GTS 512 costed me about 225 euro. The 7770 was about euro100 and it's much faster.
Well worth the money!

I had a 5770 and it was worth every penny. Budget cards generally offer the best bang for buck, don't expect amazing performance, but they're definetly great performers.
IMHO, buying a select card is all about extra performance.
That is a fantastic comment. Really. Oh, please tell us again how great your computer is so we can all marvel in amazement and pass on the legend of Soldier2013 and his amazing computer to prosperity.
