The Card

A quick look at the card reveals that it is designed to be a simple to make card (= cheap = good). The most prominent feature is the Arctic Cooling Accelero L2 cooler. Even though the slot cover is just one slot tall, the card requires two slots in your system due to the thickness of the cooler.


The card has two DVI ports, the most common output configuration today. If you want to use the card with your big TV screen you can use an HDMI adapter (not included). In case you need an analog port you can also use the included DVI adapter.
For HDMI Audio, NVIDIA requires you to feed an external audio source, for example from your motherboard's on-board audio, to the card via SPDIF cable. AMD on the other hand has integrated a sound device inside their GPUs which is the easier solution for most users.


The Powercolor HD 4770 PCS can be combined with other HD 4770 class cards in CrossFire for increased rendering power or better image quality options.


Here are the front and the back of the card, high-res versions are also available (front, back). If you choose to use these images for voltmods etc, please include a link back to this site or let us post your article.
