ATI Radeon HD 4770 review - Introduction

ATI Radeon HD 4770 review

Early in February we had the opportunity to show you a sneak preview of the now final product that we are testing today. The Radeon HD series 4700. Slated for a launch in late April, that article opened up a lot of eyes.

See, ATI lately is aggressive in it's product line-up, constantly adding and shifting their products, forcing their products and competition to become faster, yet cheaper. And that's just great news for us as consumers isn't it?

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. And here's the three step plan that ATI applied to the Radeon HD 4770:

Step one, ATI shifted the GPU fabrication to a 40nm node. The result is a product that is smaller and uses less current. With that fact in mind, you can often increase clock frequency. Then compensate heat with a dual-slot cooler, and take it up yet another notch.

Step two was to use an ASIC design based off the RV770 (Radeon HD 4850 / 4870), as such this product comes with a full 640 shader processor setup.

Three, arm the graphics card with high frequency gDDR5 memory. And while the bus width is 128-bit, they used gDDR5 and doubled up that missing bandwidth again.

Then end result, features and performance wise, is a product that roughly equals the Radeon HD 4850. And at a MSRP of 99 USD that surely does not suck. And mind you that is specifically the starting MSRP here, as we can certainly expect this product to fall towards ~80 USD / 75 EUR in e-tail in the weeks to come.

So without further ado, let's review the final product this time, the Radeon HD 4770... mainstream performance, at a budget price. Next page please.

ATI Radeon HD 4550 512MB review
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.

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