So, pictures then, below you can see the MSI Radeon HD 7770 OC edition. Below you can see packaging and bundle. Included with all cards will be manual and a demo and driver CD, power converters and an monitor connector converters to get your multi-monitor freak on.
The 1.5 Billion transistor encounting 28nm Cape Verde based core is tied to a whopping 1GB memory -- which is a lot for Entry level products.
The reference 7770 cards are clocked at a 1000 MHz core frequency and the GDDR5 memory runs at 4.5 Gbps (effective data rate as GDDR5 has a quad data-rate, so effectively that quadruples that number) the memory bus is 128-bit though. The MSI OC edition card is clocked at 1020 MHz btw.
Here we can see the backside, the card will fit pretty much any chassis. Gain we see the backside of the PCB showing a very non-complex design, that's typically a very good sign.
Connectivity wise the output connectors will vary per brand. MSI equips the card with two display port connectors (mini), HDMI and a DVI connector.
The reference R7770 has a power consumption of roughly 80 Watts. The boards overall power consumption from idle to load is excellent really. Expect an idle wattage of roughly 10 Watt and when the monitor goes into power save mode, the card throttles down even lower towards 3 watt.
Here we can also see the cooler a bit better. Heatpipe based with two fans blowing over the aluminum heatsink.
You will need to hook the 7770 up to your power supply with a 6-pin PCIe PEG connector. We recommend a 500 power supply to start with, with one card of course. You could opt to go with two cards in crossfire mode as there is one Crossfire connector available on the card.
MSI Radeon HD 7790 TurboDuo OC review
We test and review the MSI Radeon HD 7790 OC edition, also known under SKU code R7790-1GD5-OC incl FCAT Frametimes. The new graphics card is intended to boost a little more performance into entry-level gaming.
MSI Radeon HD 7770 Power Edition review
We review the MSI Radeon HD 7770 Power Edition. MSI recently released an updated Radeon HD 7770 1GHz edition with their own 1.1 GHz custom model. They use their own custom 4-layer PCB and equipped it with a dual cooling solution. I say dual here as you get an extra fan that you can pop onto the card for extra cooling. MSI also opened up the voltages for Aux, GPU and memory making the card very tweakable.
MSI Radeon HD 7850 Power Edition OC review
We review the MSI Radeon HD 7850 Power Edition OC with that all new TwinFrozr IV cooler. The updated cooler has much better looks and MSIs proprietary TwinFrozr IV cooling system that packs 8mm thick nickel-plated copper heatpipes to convey heat drawn directly from the GPU to a large aluminum fin array, ventilated by two 80 mm fans. These fans are based on the new dust removal technology, which means that the 1st 30- seconds they'll spin backwards in an attempt to remove any residual dust that can build up over time.
MSI Radeon HD 7870 TwinFrozr III OC review
MSI releases their Radeon HD 7870 TwinFrozer III OC series, a factory overclocked (50 MHz higher at 1050 MHz) Radeon HD 7870 solution with room for even higher tweaks. As its name implies the graphics card utilizes MSIs proprietary TwinFrozr III cooling system that packs 8mm thick nickel-plated copper heatpipes to convey heat drawn directly from the GPU to a large aluminum fin array, ventilated by two 80 mm fans.
