XFX Radeon HD 4770 512MB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card HD-477A-YDLC

Pros: At 99.00 a card, How can I say No. So I purchased two of them. Good Packaging. Easy install. Cool, quiet

Cons: Can't really think of any as I knew what I was purchasing .

Overall Review: After I read the HD 4770 Crossfire review from Toms hardware, I ordered two of these to replace my Nv 9700GS.
Install was easy; XFX prompted me to check for new drivers, I registered and was greeted with Cat 9.5 ver. Software installed with ease. cards are quiet and cool. Some people are complaining about the 9.4 ver of the drivers causing havoc. Toms review used the 9.4 drivers for testing with no issues. As for the 9.5 drivers, I have yet to encounter any issues.

Pros: Very powerful video card for the price, when playing some of my older games the performance is ridiculous. Great frame rates when encoding video

Cons: Driver support is not where it should be yet specify in the area of particle effects. When playing HL2 or UT3 it comes to a complete halt even on the most minimum settings. I don’t expect this to be a problem for to long but I strongly feel that these are obvious issues that should have been addressed by the manufacturer prior to releasing the product. Considering the potential of this new chip set I’m disappointed to see it get off to such a rocky start.

Overall Review: Get your act together ATI. I had such high hopes for this product.
