Am I the first digitian to buy HD4770??
Yes yes yes
Manufacturer: Sapphire
Model: HD4770
RAM: 512MB GDDR5
I got tempted when I saw this card in shop and bought it immediately for 7.2k (including tax) and along with it bought VX450W.
It is massive when compared to my older HD2600XT (which I am ready to sell).
Installed the card, booted into win7 and OS was unable to find drivers online. Did a search on included CD and it found drivers.
But, User Experience Rating for Graphics fell from 5.1 to 2.0.
Looks like they released the card in a hurry and forgot about building proper drivers.

Re: Am I the first digitian to buy HD4770??
Congo dude. Yes, I think u r the first one in TDF to buy it.
Drivers for Win 7 will come, wait for sometime, have patience.
And if possible, post a review & ur personal opinion abt this one.

You'll get the best performance with Catalyst 9.5 which releases in a few days or weeks time IIRC.

Re: Am I the first digitian to buy HD4770??
Since I reinstalled Win 7 RC, do not have any games left.
One thing that i found is that here is no sound at all from my cabinet even though there are four fans in it (two cooler master, one Corsair 120mm PSU fan, GPU fan). It's totally silent whereas my older HD2600XT used to make lot of noise.

Re: Am I the first digitian to buy HD4770??
Installed Far Cry 2 and Fraps. Shocked to see frame rate of 9 and 10 (everything set to high). Definitely the drivers need to get better. Now in XP. Let me test my luck here.
PS: Eagerly waiting for Phenom II X3's price drop.

Re: Am I the first digitian to buy HD4770??
Thank you.
Tried Dirt in windows XP. Giving 30-33fps at 1440x900 and everything set to ultra. This fps will be lot more if I put a dualcore processor with faster ram (and also better drivers)

Re: Am I the first digitian to buy HD4770??
@desiibondDude why did u pay 7.2k, it was available for 6.3~6.5k. U should have waited a bit more for the prices would have fallen.
But I would have bought it right now if I had the money  . Can you test crysis on tht and also tell us the max overclock that can be acheived on this card.
