Another Radeon HD 4770 Pictured, Tested
As we head towards the launch of AMD's newest GPU, the ATI Radeon HD 4770, things certainly seem to be looking good from what we have seen of the sub-$100 accelerator so far. After the recent exposé of the HIS HD 4770, it's time now for the one from another AIB.
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.

In any case, can't wait to see what exactly the power draw on this thing is. I have a 3870 here that seems to wish to take a break from all the 1920 x 1200 torture I put it through.
is that reference cooler? :o
The one in the ATi slides was 1337, as was the one in the Guru3D review, so wtf guys? Are these just entry level? I want to see some aftermarket designs!!
why not shrink a 3870 to 40nm, or whatever, and call it done? then work on a whole new design.... quit relying on memory to do the work....
one is wrong, which one is it.
and look closely at the furmark average at what I think is 1440x900, that is a gpu that will be against a 9800GT even if it is in xtreme burning mode
We ll need a crazy vmod for this card but given the 1000mhz rates chips and the gpu vmod that will come up soon i think it will be nice to c how much it clocks!

Im waiting the non-ref versions... this cooler is ridiculous...
I do not think this VGA need a better cooler tha the one that already has.
Best coolers will only make it sexy and more expensive :)
