The card features an identical overall design to the one from HIS, indicating that the cooler is a standard reference design, not what we had seen from the company presentation of HD 4770, showing a rather visually-appealing cooler. The card features 512 MB of GDDR5 memory across a 128-bit interface, 640 stream processors, and DirectX 10.1 compliance.

Taiwanese website CoolPC put the card through a round of 3DMark06, 3DMark Vantage, and FurMark. The testbed consisted of an Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 processor and 4 GB of DDR2-800 memory. The card secured 12,042 points at 3DMark06, and P7408 at 3DMark Vantage.

After 350 seconds of FurMark stability test, the GPU temperatures were tipping 72 degrees Celsius, with the fan running at 42% speed. Here's one card to look out for.

looks impressive indeed....but am not upgrading from 4670 till 5x series comes

Looks really cool. Any idea about pricing ?

 

[comp@ddict]

99$, aka less than Rs. 7,000

If it will give significant boost over my 8800 GTS 512 SLI then I'll buy it. Will it?

 

[comp@ddict]

^^ I don't think so.
It'll be able to match a GTS250 and HD4850, actually beat them with proper clock speeds(especially memory). But power consumption will be loads lesser

i think 8800GT scores bout 8~9k for 3DM 06, and this one does 12k. impressive.

maybe after robing the bank i shud consider this too in my list with the X2 7750 and giga 790GX.

At its price point, it is a BEAST.
Great Work from ATI
