ATI Radeon HD 4770 In CrossFire: Unbeatable At $220

Benchmark Results: Left 4 Dead

Clearly limited more by our platform than any of these graphics cards (except the single 4770), Left 4 Dead isn’t as GPU-intensive as the games we’ve just tested. Generating more differentiation is going to require stepping up to 2560x1600 or turning on anti-aliasing/anisotropic filtering.

At 1920x1200, the two Radeon HD 4770s establish a small advantage over the single 4890. Otherwise, there’s only a notable gap between the CrossFire setup and our Radeon HD 4870 1 GB/GeForce GTX 260 configurations at the same resolution to mention.

    Great article. Just for kicks, how do the xfires of the 4830 and 4850 compare to the xfire 4770?

    How about a dual column menu table? My mobile browser doesn't like to work with drop-down menus. I know, just nick picking like everyone else. :D

    I have already mentioned the drop down issue, but I am mentioning it again for emphasis. Consider Bert Lance's saying, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." By the way, nice article.

    The other day I was trying to prove to my brother that 2 ATI 4770's would outperform anything in its price range and my brother didn't agree with that... lol I can't wait to show him the article.

    Unfortunately, he already bought a 4850 card which he should be okay for now, I guess.

    Anyways, great article. I really enjoyed it. :)
    Thanks!

    Just put in the URL to jump to the page you want, for now.

    For example - http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-4770-crossfire,2288-3.html will get you to page three. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-4770-crossfire,2288-5.html will get you to page five, etc...
