Are they right? That's the only site I've found reporting that so far.

Can't wait to see what this card can do.... although its a bit weird for them to move the date so suddenly and unannounced...

pretty sure ocUK would have a massive post up about this if it were true.

They could have fixed the typo's.
Also when did Connect3D come back, they went down the pan.

They probably thought it matched the atrocious graphs posted the other day.
Question from someone that doesn't really benchmark: the 4770 might lag behind the 4850 by about 4%, but how is that likely to translate into actual FPS? It'll not be a straight 96% of the FPS, will it?
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it'll not be too far off the $99 estimate here.
Soldato
More or less.
Roughly yes. Vantage is a pretty good indicator (within manufacturer's ranges)
And I thought the estimate was confirmed RRP? Still will make it more like £80 over here. Shame we didn;t still get $2 to the pound as it would have come in under £60
If I am reading this right the HD4770 is gonna be a really affordable gaming card for the masses, AMD should be using the 40nm production to really save on costs and pass that on to the consumer . . .
I can't see these costing more than £75, that seems to be the going rate for a used HD4850 512MB anyway!

graphics cards cost too much to run, both in direct power usage & power required to run the fans keeping them well ventilated. i hope this time around we get some innovative ideas.
Remember the first 9800gtx cards, they were just 8800gts cards that for some reason needed a second pcie connector.

Well just stuck my old 8800 on the bay, looking at getting one of these. Power consumption and the fact NV are scumbags is the main reason for switching

They mutter something untranslatable about 70'C and, sure enough, in the Furmark pic it shows 67'C
That heatsink doesn't look like much though.Thanks for that Greebo & Lightnix, I wasn't sure how true synthetic benchmarks are. That $99 might be confirmed RRP for the states, but like you said once it makes it over here it won't exactly be a direct conversion.

I was always under the impression that ATI cards were more power intensive then the Nvidia ones
Was true around 2000 series time, certainly not really the case anymore.
