Konklusion
Innovation/Teknologi - 5
Radeon HD 4770 er klart det for tiden bedst ydende entry level/medium-level segment kort på markedet. Maksimum ”bang-for-the-buck” opnås med dette kort. Yderligere kan kortet anbefales som opgradering, hvis man har et ældre, eller mindre kort, da dette yder urimeligt godt i forhold til dettes pris og strømforbrug. Hvis man ikke har brug for et større kort, hvorfor så egentlig købe et sådant til dyre penge? AMD/ATI HD4770 512 dækker fint de flestes behov til rigtigt mange ting. Desuden forlyder det at kortet yder særdeles vel i Crossfire, og vi vil have en Crossfire test af kortet på siden inden for nærmeste fremtid. Teknologimæssigt befinder vi os i den helt høje ende af skalaen, da kortets GPU-chip RV740 er verdens første der benytter 40 nm TSMC produktionsteknologi.

Kortet anbefales klart til HTPC’er/Media Center PC’er, da det ved normal drift holder sig på rigtigt fornuftige temperaturer. Kortets længde og vægt gør dette velegnet til små PC’er, eller PC’er der flyttes ofte. Kortet kræver kun et PCI-E 6-pin stik. Strømforbruget på kortet gør at man alt efter, hvad ens PSU nu kan klare, i de fleste tilfælde vil kunne bruge en molex-4 pin x 2 konverter til PCI-E 6-pin stik uden, at opleve problemer med spændingsforsyningen til kortet. Derved kan kortet grundet dettes ekstreme ydelse kontra pris og lave temperatur samt strømforbrug, klart anbefales til enten ”ekstra PC’en”, ”kæreste/kone PC’en”, den lille LAN-gamerboks eller HTPC-brug. Kortet fremviser fremragende temperaturer og glimrende potentiale for overclockere. Temperaturmæssigt holder kortet sig på meget acceptable temperaturer. Køleløsningen fungerer perfekt og er yderst støjsvag ved normal brug og lettere overclocket.
Software/BIOS - 3
Ingen software medfulgte til kortet. Af drivere skal benyttes AMD/ATI's Catalyst 9.5 pakke der består af driver og avanceret kontrolpanel. Driverne er klippestabile og fungerer fuldstændigt upåklageligt. Indtillingsmæssigt er der ufatteligt mange muligheder. Man kan skrue på alle tænkelige indstillinger med AMD/ATI's driverpakke. Her er altså tale, om et kontrolpanel for en hver smag og brug. Man bør dog bemærke, at dette er noget mindre, end NVIDIA's, hvis man har synsproblemer. Idet vi dog ikke betragter ATI's driver bedre end Nvidia's, kan vi ikke give ATI's driver pakke mere end 3 point.
Ydelse - 5
Yderligere kan kortet anbefales som opgradering, hvis man har et ældre, eller mindre kort, da dette yder urimeligt godt i forhold til dettes pris og strømforbrug. Kortet fremviser fremragende temperaturer og glimrende potentiale for overclockere i de tests jeg har foretaget med dette. Det blev ikke til så meget, grundet inkompatibel software. Men proccentmæssigt kom vi faktisk godt deropad i OC-testen. Spilmæssigt yder kortet langt over forventning for dettes størrelse og pris. Man får super ydelse i spil, hvis behovet ikke ligger oppe i den "tunge" ende af skalaen.
Pris - 5
Man får virkelig maksimum ”bang-for-the-buck” med AMD/ATI Radeon HD4770! Prisen er simpelthen suveræn for det kortet evner, at præstere i spil og benchmarks. I alle typer spil - gamle som nye - yder kortet særdeles fremragende, set i forhold til dettes meget lave pris. AMD/ATI’s grund for, at lave og prissætte HD 4770, er at de strategisk vil æde sig ind på markedet for 99,- USD kort. Og med HD4770 kan det vel vise sig, at de vil have stor succés med dette meget spændende grafikkort! Kortet kan findes på edbpriser.dk for den ringe pris af 649,- DKK.

Innovation/Technology - 5
Clearly, the Radeon HD4770 is the best performing entry-level/medium level video card on the market at present. You'll achieve maximum bang-for-the-buck with this card. Furthermore, this card can be recommended as an upgrade if you have an older or smaller card, as it performs unreasonably well considering its price and power consumption. If you're not in need of a bigger card, why bother spending more money on the higher models, when this card covers most users needs in a wide suite of applications. We've also heard rumors, that two of these babies perform very well in Crossfire. A Crossfire test will be coming up within the near future. Technology-wise, this HD4770 puts itself at the highest end of the scale as the RV740 chip is the first graphics chip in the world manufactured on 40nm TSMC processtechnology.

The card can clearly be recommended for HTPC's / Media Centers, as it keeps the temperatures low at normal usage. The length and weight of the card makes it very appropriate for small PC's or PC's often being moved. As the card only requires one PCI-E 6-pin powercable, you can easily use a double-molex to PCIe-6 pin poweradaptor, if your PSU can handle the requirements. That's also why the card can be recommended for an "extra" PC, your wife's PC, for the small LAN Gaming box or for HTPC usage. The card shows excellent temperaturers and a very nice overclocking potential aswell. With regards to temperatures, the card keeps itself at very acceptable temperatures. The cooling solution works perfect and makes very little noise at normal usage and slightly overclocked usage.
Software/BIOS - 3
No software was delivered along with the card. The drivers and advanced controlpanel in the AMD/ATI Catalyst 9.5 package are rock-solid and works without a hitch. There's an abundance of options. Every conceivable setting can be tweaked with this package. The Catalyst package is a package for all tastes and likes. However, if you have problems reading very small text, the Nvidia Controlpanel is easier to read. Still, as we do not consider the Catalyst drivers especially better than Nvidias drivers, we won't award the drivers more than 3 points.
Performance - 5
If you have an older and smaller card, the HD4770 can clearly be recommded as an upgrade, as it performs unreasonably well considering its price and power consumption. The card shows outstanding temperatures, aswell as an excellent overclocking potential in the tests I've performed. Due to some software-incompatibility, the overclock didn't skyrocket completely, but we did manage to rise the performance quite a bit. The card performs way beyond expectations in the gaming tests, especially considering its size and price. You'll get superb gaming performance, if you're not demanding too much in the more "heavy" end of the graphics scale.
Price - 5
You're really getting the maximum bang-for-the-buck with the AMD/ATI Radeon HD4770! The price is simply too ingenious versus the abilities of the card in gaming and benchmarks. In all types of games - old and new - the card performs very excellent seen in comparison to its price. The strategy of AMD/ATI has been to eat themselves into the market of 99 bucks cards. With this very exciting new Radeon HD4770, they might prove quite successful in doing so.
