Sapphire Radeon HD 6770 fleX 1GB Graphics Card Review

Final Thoughts
The 6770 performed well and above the level I was expecting especially given the price point of a £105/$139. I was able to play most of my enjoyable games at high definition (1920×1080 resolutions) and was able to keep most games at high settings (minus anti alias settings). The 6770 is such an excellent deal, it’s hard to pass on a card that can not only perform well in a single monitor solution, but also does exceptionally well for its price in Eyefinity gaming. The Sapphire HD6770 fleX also has the added value of Eyefinity out of the box without the need for a display port adapter, this fleX technology by itself is worth an extra £20/$30, which in effect really brings the card cost more closer to the £85/$109 range since you don’t have to spend the extra cash on the adapter, which you would with other cards. This cards value, performance and price point is ideal for an incoming computer gamer, and is most handy for any person who does large amount of application usage and video watching.

Sapphire has always done a great job in bringing affordability back into game system building, and have astounded me by offering the 6770 at such a low price point that it’s impossible not to see this as being a great value graphics card that is very rich in features and very capable of delivering an adequate gaming experience. This card is another notch in the belt loop for Sapphire in its continued dominance of being AMD’s number one manufacturer of Radeon products.

Pros:

• Awesome low price
• Packed with a lot of features of higher end cards (HD3D, Eyefinity, AMD Parallel Processing).
• fleX technology results in easy Eyefinity setup without need for spending more on an display port adapter.
• Performs well, able to run most games in 1920×1080 with minimal sacrifices to quality settings, even competitive first person shooters in 30-60 FPS range.
  

Cons:

• Slightly low synthetic benchmark scores, worries me with upcoming action titles like BF3, COD:MW3, might need to use additional card in crossfire for ultimate performance.
• a few features and improvement over the 5770, but not quite enough to warrant a new card purchase unless you don’t have a powerful enough solution, (in which case the purchase is a win/win scenario).

We would like to thank Sapphire for supplying this sample
