Overclocking the Radeon HD 4770 (Guide) - Final Words & Conclusion

Final Words & Conclusion

We have been saying it in many reviews already, as soon as you hit a budget product you always see some significant performance increases once you start to overclock a little. In that sense the Radeon HD 4770 is just absolutely brilliant.

Now the overclocks we achieved here is not a guarantee for your end-results. Maximum clock frequencies can differ per batch, brand, cooling and certainly your own PC is a factor as well. We test with the best of the best really. Also consider simple things like the country you are living in, if on average the ambient temperature is higher at say 30 Degrees C at your place .. it of course will effect your overclocking experience.

Your tweaking experiences as such might be a little less, but could also be better ! So what I am trying to say here is that you do need a tiny bit of luck and the right circumstances. I'm however confident that your experience will be fairly similar to ours.

The reality is that with our overclock we have been able to push overall performance 15~20% on top of the Radeon HD 4770 baseline performance. And in the world of graphics cards, that's just an awfully nice extra. It makes the card a good amount faster than the Radeon HD 4850, and it actually closes in on the Radeon HD 4870.

See, this is one of the many things I like about this little 99 USD puppy, you'll just get so much fun out of it for this kind of cash.

Note -- neither ATI or Guru3D is responsible for a damaged card. Mind you that we've never been able to break a card with an overclock, that doesn't mean it can not happen. You are driving the graphics card closer to it's maximum limit. As such do it wise, do it careful .. but most of all you do it at your own risk.
