Unboxing - Radeon HD 4770 512MB
On the next few pages we'll show you some photos. The images were taken at high-res and then scaled down. The camera used was a Canon 450D 12 MegaPixel.

Right then, meet the Radeon HD 4770. This is an engineering / reference sample straight from ATI, equipped with 512 MB GDDR5 128-bit memory clocked at 3200 MHz (effective).

One thing is a fact, it certainly does not look like a budget card. At sub 99 USD you get Radeon HD 4850 game performance and a dual-slot cooling design, that quite frankly looks really swell. The cooling design is exhausting hot air outside your PC. Fan RPM is kept below 40% keeping the product quiet.

Backside of the PCB. No memory chips are located here, neither is there space for it. We do expect to see some 1024MB models in the near future though.

When we place the card into a perspective front view, we stumble into two DVI connectors (HDCP capable). Both dual-link DVI, thus supporting high-resolution monitors.
Today we have another bang for buck product, a product that I like very much. As what ATI is doing today is pretty remarkable. They are releasing the Radeon HD 4770, a mainstream product at a budget price. Trust me when I say that after reading this review, you will be impressed.

Today we test the Radeon HD 4550. It's the cheapest desktop graphics product that ATI can deliver at your doorsteps. This Radeon HD 4550 (GPU codename RV710XT) comes with an optional 256 MB GDDR2 or optional 512MB GDDR3 and will cost you .. 45 to 55 USD respectively.
AMD ATI Radeon HD 4870 1024MB review
Today a test and review on the new AMD ATI Radeon HD 4870 1024MB. Obviously ATI is releasing a 1GB model to compete with the new Core 216 version of that GeForce GTX 260. The 4870 series really diggs that GDDR5 memory bandwidth, and what's the cheapest thing to do to gain some extra performance ? Increase the framebuffer volume. Now that by itself is not going to work miracles, yet in memory limited situations (loads of high quality textures, filtering and AA modes) it will help you here and there. And a little bit of extra bite is all the product needs to get beat that Core 216 card again.

We test the ATI Radeon HD 4670. A nice little card that packs some decent punch in the value minded consumers.
