news 28 Posted February 15, 2012 Cape Verde is the smallest of the Southern Islands dies and falls into the sub-$175 graphics market depending on card vendors' pricing and overclocking settings. Â The real question we all wanted to know is what performance levels these new cards were going to offer and if they could be the TRUE successor to popular Radeon HD 5770. Â While the answer will take pages and pages of details to cement into place, I can say that while an impressive card, I wasn't as excited as I had wanted to be.

Instead hitting the really high price points where competition is somewhat limited, these two enter into a field that is incredibly crowded both with previous AMD cards and current NVIDIA options. As it stands today the Radeon HD 7770 is the most power efficient card at the $160 price point though it is surrounded by cards that can offer similar or higher levels of performance for $30 less or $30 more."
