![]() This can be used with most modern smartphones & PCs directly. gavbon86: RT A detailed evaluation of two passively-cooled Jasper Lake 'NUCs' - the ECS LIVA Z3 and ZOTAC ZBOX CI331 nano - throws up int….Definitely a slip-up from AMD graphics Marketing dept. The situation would have been much better, if they had marketed these cards as 76, because that is were they belong based on die/transistor size and performance. In short the 7770 is a Bulldozeresque disaster. If somebody was prepared to buy a product(BD/7770) which is priced closer to competition(Core-i5/Gtx560) but gets beaten in all benchmarks and is priced more than old generation(PhenomII/6850) but still loses to it in many benchmarks. The 7770 seems to be targeted at the same folks for whom the BD was targeted. The 7770 makes sense for those who crossfire, esp with long idle and compares favourably against the 6950/6970, esp for somebody who plans to buy onow and another one later when a better deal is availableįrom AMD's point of view, the 7750 seems to be targeted at the 80% of the Market who buy Intel PC, but are envious of the graphics capabilities of the puny Llano and even tinier Brazos. maree - Friday, Februlink From the consumer's point of view, the 7750 is the best card which doesn't require external power connector and hence can fit in with standard case and SMPS.Yes there's a chance you are correct Bofox on your calculations, certainly cannot put it past amd given the track record. and we're supposed to just pretend it never happened and no explanation is ever given. It's just amazing to me, a staggering "error" on the most basic bulldozer spec. I'd sure love to see that exposed far and wide as well if true. The level of incompetence requried for that to be a mistake and not a PR plot is staggering.įor that reason BoFox I don't doubt what you are saying about Barts 68xx's and 6790. Ok, there's just no way this core transistor miscount is a mistake. The die size is still accurate at 315mm2. It has since told us that the 8C Bulldozer is actually 1.2B transistors. " Update: AMD originally told us Bulldozer was a 2B transistor chip. A few months after launch, AMD admitted that it was an error, saying that it has only 1.2B trannies. " And then AMD launched Bulldozer with a slideshow saying that it has 2B trannies. CeriseCogburn - Wednesday, Malink Man it's just amazing.Here is link to techpowerups' X-Fire review. and one of them is more expensive and doesn't beat a 580. The only card that comes really close for me is the 560 Ti 448 Core. and it should be plenty fast enough for Minecraft then this gets handed down to my son and off we go. I have older games Half Life, Jedi Knight, Knights of the Old Republic, Diablo, Morrowind, etc etc that I still want to play and the power down features and low power usage are great boons for me.įrom the X-Fire reviews I've seen so far they scale at about 2x so just double the numbers and they smoke a single 580 while using less power and running nice and quiet.Īlso it gives me a year or so before I build my second system and who knows what will be out then. and I don't need graphics maxed to the gills. I have been out of PC gaming for along time and these are going to be my cards of choice. delirious_nomad - Thursday, Februlink there are reviews out there and 7770 X-Fired smoke a single 580 and for $300 some odd dollars. ![]() The 7750 finally edges out the 5770, meanwhile the 7770 nearly ties the 6870. The end result is that the 7750 still slightly trails the 5770.Īs good as overall DiRT 3 performance is, the minimum framerates look even better. Now the 7770 is 32% ahead of the 7750, indicating just how important shader and texturing performance is in this game. The interplay of three different architectures here means that no one is necessarily going to be the winner all of the time.Īs for the 7750, the 7770 gap only continues to grow. In fact the only real bad news for the 7770 here is that while AMD is beating themselves, it’s a competition that NVIDIA normally wins, leading to the 7770 still trailing the 1GB GTX 460 and sitting well behind the GTX 560. Throw in a factory overclock like the BESDD and even the 6870 can be surpassed. ![]() With an 8% lead this is the first win for the 7770, and a surprising one at that. With DiRT 3 AMD finally turns the tables on themselves, leading to the 7770 taking a lead over the 6850. Codemasters uses the same EGO engine between its DiRT, F1, and GRID series, so the performance of EGO has been relevant for a number of racing games over the years. ![]() For racing games our racer of choice continues to be DiRT, which is now in its 3rd iteration.
