HIS HD 4770 512MB PCI-E Graphics Card
Gaming Benchmarks
Published: 9th May 2009 | Source: HIS | Price: £78.19 |
Call of Duty 4 is a stunning DirectX 9.0c based game that really looks awesome and has a very full feature set. With lots of advanced lighting, smoke and water effects, the game has excellent explosions along with fast gameplay. Using the in-built Call Of Duty features, a 10-minute long game play demo was recorded and replayed on each of the GPU's using the /timedemo command a total of 5 times. The highest and lowest FPS results were then removed, with an average being calculated from the remaining 3 results.
ET:Quake Wars is a follow-up game to Wolfenstein:Enemy Territory developed by Splash Technology. Using a modified version of id Software's Doom 3 engine along with Mega rendering technology, the game promises high resolution textures, fast gameplay and plenty of explosions. Using the built-in recordNetDemo and timeNetDemo commands, we recorded a 5 minute online gaming session and played it back a total of 5 times at each resolution, calculating the average FPS from the median three results.
Crysis is without doubt one of the most visually stunning and hardware-challenging games to date. By using CrysisBench - a tool developed independently of Crysis - we performed a total of 5 timedemo benchmarks using a GPU-intensive pre-recorded demo. To ensure the most accurate results, the highest and lowest benchmark scores were then removed and an average calculated from the remaining three.
Results Analysis
The HIS HD4770 manages to keep up with the Asus 9800GTX in all three games, never being more than 6FPS behind. In ETQW the 4770 steamrolls the 9800GTX and easily keeps up with the Zotac GTS 250 AMP. In Crysis both the 9800GTX and the 4770 are within 2FPS of each other, while the GTS250 stretches its legs and quickens the pace.

Don't like barebone cards. Seem cheap. But this thing surely can compete against the 9600GT with pricing no?
Seems like a good card over all.
Seems like a good card over all.
The 4830 easily performs above the 9600GT and the 4770 performs ahead of the 4830 and is comparable to the 4850 so it's great value for money 
I have literally seen nothing but praise for this card. In Crossfire friendly games it's supposed to be as fast as a GTX280, which is astonishing really...
Yeah they do look rather tasty in Crossfire 
Do I buy 2 to replace my 4850
Well we need to see figures of crossfire 4770 vs crossfire 4850 first. But for now I wouldn't do anything.
Crossfire 4850s is gonna cost about £50 more and consume more power, for not alot more performance.
4770 in x-fire decimate a 4890,4870,4850-gtx 275, gtx 260 upto 1920x1200
For £150 not a bad double act.
For £150 not a bad double act.
BUT if you already have a 4850, I think it's better to CF it with another '50 because its second hand price is probably dropping like a stone now.
