XFX Readying 1 GB Radeon HD 4770 Variant
Following ASUS, XFX is another partner breaking away from the reference design mold for the Radeon HD 4770 accelerator soon after its launch. The company is ready with a variant that features 1 GB of GDDR5 memory. For now, a picture of only its box can be found from an incomplete promotional page of the company, with links leading to its 512 MB base-model, but what the one picture reveals, is a rather lavish packaging. The "X" shaped box shows no signs of a "XXX" branding, or anything that suggests the card features factory-overclocked speeds, though the "1 GB GDDR5" is legible. The card is backed by the company's "5-star" warranty. Its pricing and availability are not known.

Although 1GB is nice on such a card, this time 1GB would actually more beneficial a few more % than other lower end cards receiving ridiculous amounts of memory just to make them look more appealing to idiots. But this wouldn't be a total waste on this card given its OC potential.
