Gosh. This is one hell of a card and it competes with GTS250 in every game and beats in many.
max temperature never crossing 70c
max power less than 225W
Guess what, this one costs less than 100$ after rebate and should be the new leader in budget to mid-level gaming.

ATI has a real winner on their hands here. The 40nm process combined with GDDR5 have enabled an inexpensive card with a small GPU and 128-bit memory interface that meets or exceeds the performance of bigger GPUs that draw more power, run hotter, and are more expensive to produce. In the $100-ish price segment, these things matter. Those upgrading older systems may not have the power supply necessary for a more power-hungry card. OEMs selling affordable systems don't want the added cost of higher-wattage power supplies, making this card an easier choice.

At $99, the Radeon HD 4770 was an award winner. At $109, it remains a good demonstration of 40 nm manufacturing at work and, as mentioned, a recommended alternative to the Radeon HD 4850/GeForce GTS 250 for budget-crunched gamers. Well-played ATI, well played.

s for the competition, the 4770 comes out on top in the games we tested. The more expensive GTS 250 leads in Call of Duty World at War, while the 4770 blows the doors off everything in Age of Conan. As for the other benchmarks, they come out pretty close with the 4770 generally ahead. But the clencher is FarCry 2 performance which shows the Radeon HD 4770 leading the GTS 250 fairly well in a heavy hitting graphics engine.
