7770

[dave_beast]

Folks are only sour because it didn't come in cheaper than the EOL 6850 priced to sell.

You recognise it because you're full of it

See no come back

You post non fact constantly on these forums.

Stop your twisted reasoning and keep using arguement that sounds like coming from a 5 years old and keep calling people "AMD haters" (both Martin and Alex uses AMD cards if I'm not mistaken). GTX580 charged a premium on launch because it was the undisputed single GPU king back then, while the GTX560Ti/GTX570 were generally lower than/around same price than the counterparts 6950/6970. So 7970 aside, what is AMD charging premium such as 7770 for? Worse performance than 6850? 128bit Memory Interface instead of 256bit?

I use nVidia, that don’t mean I like them. You were bashing the hd7970 also, now you’re twisting it and saying "GTX580 charged a premium on launch because it was the undisputed single GPU king back then" it still never stopped you bashing the 7970, did it? Suppose we can wait on the 78xx for the hattrick whilst all under the AMD banner.

People who keep making stupid threads whinging about AMD really need to STFU.

People buy the cards at the price, so they sell them at that price. Simples

That’s coz you have nothing (certainly not facts), which is usually the case with your pants

Edit: I meant rants

The 7770 is so crap it is laughable. Slower than the 6850, more expensive than the 6850, and overclocks no better than the 6850 (percentage wise). Even power consumption isn't that great when you compare both cards performance per watt. This must be the worst AMD release for many years.

^THIS. The GPU forum is becoming a laughing stock because of the twisted logic highlighted in your post. That is not aimed directly at the poster your replying to.

There's no arguing that 7970 is faster than the GTX580, but the problem was...like the recent new gen cards from AMD- the price.

The 7970 was suppose to be priced at £420 according to the price that AMD themself set, but etailers acrossing the UK were pricing them on average at £460-£500+. Also while it is faster than the GTX580 1.5GB, it is not exactly offering more bang for bucks, as people have to pay the extra for the extra performance- at a worse price to performance ratio. Also stacking a premium price on top of an already premium price card- from previous gen is ridiculous.

Either way, I don't know why I have to talk about 7970 on this topic, when this thread is about AMD is 7770 at a silly price with no regard to other cards that already existing in that price range.

 

[Harlequin]

And when Nvidia release the news 28nm cards at silly prices


you can thank APPLE for that btw


will you also be raving about it?

 

[TheMorningStar]

What the actual duck is AMD doing... these cards should be coming in at well under £100.

I never said GTX580 is good value, I was merely pointing out the fact. I was stating Nvidia was charging a premium for it being the fastest card back then...now AMD is charging a premium for ALL of the their new gen card, not just the 7970. They noew even price a card that's slower at a higher price , and people are actually defending it...twisted logic indeed.

Trying to subsidise their underperforming CPU division?

Supply and ****ing demand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Grow up people

There is no demand lol

The 7950 and 7950's are barely selling

And the 7770 is slower than a 6850

AMD are on crack

 

[Harlequin]

depends on who you ask - the 7970 and 7950 are selling....

 

[Marine-RX179]

Supply and ****ing demand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Grow up people

Sorry, but looking at the performance and the price, the demand will remain with the 6850/6870/GTX460/GTX560/GTX560Ti at that price range. As people has pointed out...this card needs to be at £100 or possibly less, not at £120~£135 average.

 

[oweneades]

the GTX 460 is GONE - its EOL and not being made , in fact you would be hard pressed to find one thats not an `SE`.

Well that took all of a minute.

Still available and in stock from some of the largest competitors.

It maybe EOL but it is still (easily) available.

Not in the quantity they would like

And its a great card for the money

Makes the new gen 7770 look like a turd

Holy crap an Easyrider post I agree with.....

I need to lie down.

Seriously though, yes I agree although with a tweaked price the HD7770 could be a great card especially if they can do one single slot and bus powered.
