Great review. Seems very decent for an HTPC, but it’s true that for a little more you could go for a 6850.
not from where i am, i have to stretch like 40% of my budget to get to a 6850 from a 6770 -__- guess i'll decide later or scout other shops to get a better deal, but this is a decent card, ive read a lot of reviews about 6770 cards and theyre pretty great m/
