Designed for mainstream gaming, the XFX’s FX-777A-ZNF4 Radeon HD 7770 Core Edition graphics card features XFX’s unique standard GPU core at 1000 MHz which is the benchmark core clock. Ghost thermal technology allows air to pass through the heatsink directly to the PCB and core components for increasing overall graphics card performance. With the HD 7770 graphics card, XFX introduces XFACTOR, a collection of features and technologies that include XFX’s exclusive designs and standards with the highest quality and innovation to ensure that even the most demanding gamers get the best from their graphics cards.
The AMD Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition is the first graphics card equipped with a reference engine clock that breaks the one gigahertz barrier – making it the world’s first 1GHz GPU. When coupled with AMD’s GCN Architecture and the industry’s very first 28nm GPU design, the AMD Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition offers incredible, best-in-class entertainment experiences that every gamer deserves. Packed with incredible features, such as PCI Express 3.0, the ultra-efficient AMD ZeroCore Power technology or gaming at resolutions beyond 5760x1080 with AMD Eyefinity technology, these are the world’s most advanced graphics. For everyone.
Ghost thermal technologyGhost Thermal technology is a floating cover design that maximizes airflow by creating exceptional venting through out the card. This design allows airflow to cool the heatsink as well as the components and PCB.
Duratec Professional Grade technologyXFX introduces Duratec Professional Grade technology which represents XFX high standard for component quality. Graphics cards featuring Duratec standards offer high quality components such as quality components, IP-5X Certified Dust Free Fans, XFX’s exclusive bracket design for greater airflow and other quality performance enhancing components.
GHz EditionThe first generation of ground breaking GPUs with core clocks above 1GHz. The GHz Edition graphics cards from XFX & AMD are designed with massive headroom for overclocking beyond 1GHz.
New GCN Architecture for Leading DirectX 11 PerformanceAMD Radeon HD 7700 Series (code name Cape Verde) boasts the award-winning 28nm GPU architecture which is optimized for gaming and compute. The AMD Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition features 10 Compute Units, each with 64 Vector Units for up to 640 Stream Processors, along with dual Asynchronous Compute Engines (ACE) and 128bit of 1GB GDDR5 Memory. Ready for DirectX 11 and PCI Express 3.0, AMD Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition with GCN Architecture is your personal checklist for ground-breaking performance and technology.
Next Generation AMD Eyefinity Technology & AMD HD3DAMD Eyefinity 2.0 features all-new support for stereo 3D, universal bezel compensation, brand new display configurations and an expanded and more immersive field of view. With full support for 3GHz HDMI and DisplayPort 1.2 HBR2, the AMD Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition is set to drive next generation displays at up to 4K resolution. The AMD Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition is also backed by AMD’s open 3D initiative for stereo 3D gaming and Blu-ray 3D movies.
Refined AMD PowerTune Technology & AMD ZeroCore Power TechnologyDesigned with the most advanced power management features, the AMD Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition is equipped with the intelligence to convert unused power headroom into extra performance by dynamically controlling clock speeds, allowing gamers advanced performance inside of the power envelope they specify. AMD ZeroCore Power technology found in the AMD Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition enables lower idle power than any other currently available graphics card. With support for AMD CrossFire technology, AMD ZeroCore Power eliminates wasted power, as well as additional heat and noise from extra cards when you are not using them.
Pros: Upgraded from a 4850, so the difference was clear. Battlefield 3 - Runs playable at 1080 custom ultra (fxaa on no msaa). At lower resolutions it is smooth as butter, I would go for a little more powerful card if you want 60fps at all times and cant deal with dipping to 30 or 40 in huge battles at 1080p+ (not a deal if you turn settings down, im talking ULTRA with no msaa or 2X) Diablo 3, everything maxed doesnt really push it. Starcraft 2 same deal. Other games that run great on it: Skyrim, FEAR3, Dirt3, Deus Ex, Sonic Generations, Minecraft with shader mods, etc. Power Consumption is actually less than an ancient 4850, so I overclocked it a little with msi afterburner to 1175 gpu, 1200 memory (from 1000, 1125) with no problems. Doesn't really get very hot but I have decent airflow. specs Athlon X4 645 @ 3.875 GHZ 2X4GB Ripjaws 1600 Biostar A870 Antec 450watt psu XFX CORE edition 7770 Antec 300 Illusion case
Cons: Don't notice loads of improvement on some DX9 games from a 4850, which admittedly is probably the same range of card from the 4000's. Not a con with the card, or newegg, but amd drivers kind of lack, especially in the HDMI scaling department, you have to set the overscan to 0% manually for every resolution/timing mode that you use (my monitor is hdmi) Newer games with MSAA on don't perform amazingly, but what would you expect.
Overall Review: First off, my card looks different than the one pictured here. Mainly in the connectors in the back, mine has 2X DVI, 1XHDMI, 1XDisplayport. Also, another reviewer mentioned this card doesn't support crossfire, well that is just plain wrong, both the one I received and the one pictured here do. And from what I hear it scaled incredibly well, so I would grab 2 if on sale. To sum it up, I would go for this card if on sale, if not, I would recommend a gtx550ti or 560se, if only just for the better drivers.
