AMD HD7770 Review
Dirt 3

Dirt 3
We've often commented upon how Dirt 3 is so well optimised it would be playable on a toaster. The HD7770 is not a toaster. 115FPS on a GTX560 vs 39FPS on the HD7770.

Really disappointing card. As you said in the conclusion no point in getting it over a 560 or 6870 for gaming purposes. The noise and power aspects are the only pluses about this card :/Quote
The prices at the moment are what are making these cards bad, they are good cards but they are priced a lot higher than they should be making them bad value for your money. Really they should replace the 6xxx series equivalent in price and position.
If you look at the 6 series launch prices, the 7xxx equivalent should come in at the same and replace the lower model, maybe priced £10 or £20 higher than last gen but not £100+ more like we are seeing now.
6770 - £100 this is where the 7770 should be at around £100 new - actual price is ~£130
6850 - £150 this is where the 7850 should be at around £150 new - actual price will be ~£250+ (rumored)
6870 - £170 this is where the 7870 should be at £170 new - actual price will be ~£280+ (rumored)
6950 - £250 this is where the 7950 should be at around £250 new - actual price is £350+
6970 - £300 this is where the 7970 should be at around £350 new - actual price is £450+
If it wasn't for these cards being priced as high as they are, they would be much better because price to performance would be good, but at the moment it's not. I just hope when Nvidia launches Kepler the prices even out, for now i'll stick with my 6850.Quote
