eTeknix, ocaholic, Rbmods, and X-bit Labs have reviewed three Radeon HD 6770 graphics cards from ASUS, HIS, and PowerColor.

Let's see what they had to say:

  • eTeknix: PowerColor Radeon HD 6770 PCS+ Vortex II Graphics Card Review:

    "The bottom line is that while this card is good, it’s not perfect. It’s still very old technology when you compare it to the likes of some Nvidia cards on the market for around the same price based around the fresher, younger Fermi architecture. If AMD is your thing, then the card won’t let you down and will be perfect for light to medium gaming but don’t expect anything amazing when bumping up the resolution or quality settings, as the frame-rate will be hindered. It will also be useful in a HTPC scenario as it uses little power and remains inaudible throughout operation but we are left feeling a bit glum when you look at a Radeon 6850 only being slightly more expensive, but getting so much more GPU power for your money."

  • ocaholic: ASUS EAH6770 DC SL/2DI/1GD5 Review :

    "The ASUS EAH6770 is an interesting card especially for absolute silent systems. If you do not play games or if you do this on very rare occasions there should be no issues with the card overheating. During our tests only Furmark made the system freeze. Performing 3DMark 11 loops wasn't a problem for the card.

    A closer look at this cards performance shows that the HD 6770 competes with NVIDIA GTX 550 TI. Playing recent titles at high resolutions and high detail levels wont make you happy. What's possible is a resolution of 1680 x 1050 and lower detail levels. In this case smooth gaming is possible."

  • Rbmods: His IceQX Radeon 6770 Videocard:

    "This card performs quite well for its price range, there are a few things though I found that are flawed with the card. The speeds could be a little bit better and the fan is way to loud even though it’s advertised as being low noise. Otherwise I really can’t find anything wrong with it- it overclocks well, the card is stable, and for the price you end up paying you get good performance.

    The plugins on the back cover your needs for quite some time with even a displayport in the back."

  • X-bit Labs: PowerColor PCS+ HD6770 1GB GDDR5 Vortex II (DiRT 3 Edition) Review:

    "The PowerColor PCS+ HD6770 1GB GDDR5 Vortex II (DiRT 3 Edition) is surely worth the money they ask for it. This card can serve you well for the next few years. Its downsides (128-bit memory bus and low tessellation performance) are inconspicuous even in latest games whereas its advantages are obvious: very attractive price, efficient cooling, a free game in the box, factory overclocking, etc.

    AMD's approach to releasing new products may be criticized, but take a look at the test results first!"

While these are very good graphics cards, if you want top-notch multi-monitor support check out the Sapphire Radeon HD 6770 FleX Edition.
