AMD HD7770 PR Stunt ?

[coupe69]

Where does it say the 7770 is going to be weaker than the 6870, and where does it say the price?

It goes without saying they're going to be weaker. Less stream processors, narrower memory bandwidth. About the only thing they've got going for them is their 1GHz core clock. If you do a bit of googling it all becomes clear

They'll probably be getting near stock 6850 performance with prices around about £100-£110

This ^.
Price is a stipulation, from history you'd expect around 110-120 quid for the 7770, 6870's at times can be had for 125ish now.
7770 Looks to be around 6850 performance, which is a sub 100 quid card now.

This is worse than those sweats and valentine cards that AMD did when Sandybridge has that SATA issue.

3DMark 06:
HD7770 (Stock @ 1Ghz): 18143 3D Marks (SM2.0: 6785/HDR: 8086/CPU: 6390)

That's pants my HD4890 gets almost 19000 3D marks at stock and cost me £49 brand new last August

I wouldn't put much stock in a 3DMark06 benchmark.

Well the performance figures clearly show that this is the replacement for the 5770 (6770) cards and not the 6870 then.

 

[stulid]

So if that leak is from December, then what the hell are they waiting for, release it already, must be ready.

I'm a little let down by the 7 series. I might have to go to the dark side with nvidea..

Oh, what for 580 3gb or 1.5gb?

I'm going to wait for kelper and buy a new GPU or snap up an old one at a reduced price.

lmao

The leaks put the card at around HD6850 level performance but with 2GB of GDDR5 RAM! I assume it will have improved tessellation ability over the HD6800 series, although the leaked pictures shows it still has a PCI-E power connector. I don't see the point of 2GB of GDDR5 RAM for this card,and TBH it should have been bus powered.

Would have been funnier/even-longer if it was "i waited for kelper" (or the oft mentioned keplar) - which a lot of people seem to want to do - let alone for it to come from nVidea

Fair point to be honest. I am skinto at the mo so this is a fair shout.

It looks like the HD7750 has a lower TDP than a bus powered HD6670. The HD7770 has a lower TDP than a HD6750.

 

[stulid]

So the 7750 should be bus powered yeah? 75W for a PCI-E slot isnt it? so the 7770 will need a single 6pin extra as its just over.

Will someone make a"Green edition" that is underclocked a bit to do away with the 6pin connector.

 

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

In theory,the HD7750 should be bus powered. Its a shame the HD7770 is a tad over.
