XFX Radeon HD 4770 512MB video card review @ Elite Bastards

[news 28]

 

Hi everyone,

 

Having already taken a look at a couple of Radeon HD 4770 offerings since the launch of AMD's latest mainstream part, today we examine another board featuring this same basic specification courtesy of XFX. However, rather than the small cooler seen on those boards, XFX have instead decided to stick entirely to AMD's initial reference board design - Is this enough to give it a leg-up over the competition?

"Its design and cooler may be customised compared to the other Radeon HD 4770 designs we've seen in retail thus far, but XFX's offering otherwise sticks to the standard clock speeds, featuring the usual 750MHz core and 800MHz GGDR5 memory clocks we'd expect to see from such a part.

 

Unlike the small cooler we saw on HIS and Sapphire's offerings, XFX's dual-slot affair covers almost the entire board (albeit not all of the card's memory modules) while also looking to exhaust hot air more efficiently out of the rear of the system chassis. That aside, as per other cards XFX's offering is powered by a solitary six-pin PCI Express power connector, while the PCB also features two CrossFire inter-GPU connectors."
