While we generally consider this to be a processor-bound title, shifting down to lower-end graphics cards definitely applies a more taxing workload to the 3D subsystem. Both the Radeon HD 7770 and 7750 handle High detail settings at 1680x1050 well enough. The Ultra setting is significantly more demanding, but given the pace of this title, not entirely unplayable.
The Radeon HD 7770 easily beats Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 550 Ti, but comes in behind the 256-bit GeForce GTX 460 1 GB, which in turn slightly trails the Radeon HD 6850. Meanwhile, the Radeon HD 7750 pretty much matches pace with AMD’s old (but still quite capable) Radeon HD 5770, itself losing to the GeForce GTX 550 Ti under High details and then passing it at Ultra quality settings.

Amd may be taking advantage of their unopposed release of the 7000 series to sell their cards at high margins. They may just be waiting for the new Nvidia cards to come out before they drop prices.
I think you mean AES256.
I'd expect prices to go down once supply goes up and demand goes down.
What_were_they_thinking?
I'd actually like to see the HD 7750 at a lower price too, as we know these prices will drop over time but I still think this is slightly high for launch.
7770 is crap.

Couldnt the 7750 release before I bought my 5670? >_>
AMD is like the Chicago Cubs. Even non-fans want them to succeed, but they can never seem to get their act together.
I agree somewhat, but I don't think it's the enthusiast crowd they're targeting here. It's the OEM crapfest that pushes the latest trash onto unknowing consumers while slapping a gaming pc title on their box.
AMD had an edge with the Cayman because its performance was unopposed in the single gpu realm. With these cards that's nowhere close to the truth. In the past you could at least expect to get new DX support newer shading support or anything that would give the current model a unique edge over it's predecessor. I'm just not seeing that with this release. Then to top it off AMD is continuing the trend they started with the 7970 of an over-inflated launch price. While that might have flown with the cards that were untouchable, it's not going to fly here when you can spend the same money for more peformance, period.
I feel bad for pre-built pc buyers that are unaware of things like this, such a ripoff.
Confused by the launch order and prices, I mistook this for their mid-range, and not their budget range. It's better, but not by much.
