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.

    Working on getting the drop-down or ToC on every page. Sometimes things are changed without advanced notice. Trying to get a solution for you guys!

    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...
