[ Benchmarks: Civilization V, Just Cause 2 ]

The Radeon HD 7770 provided decent performance gains when testing in Civilization V when compared to past Radeon graphics cards. Here it averaged 98fps at 1680x1050, making it 25% faster than the Radeon HD 6790 and 34% faster than the HD 6770. However it was 23% slower than the GeForce GTX 560 which was a massive disappointment. The Radeon HD 7750 was slower, averaging just 76fps, which made it just 4% faster than the old HD 6770 and 13% slower than the GeForce GTX 550 Ti. Here we see that when testing with Just Cause 2 at 1680x1050 the performance of the Radeon HD 7770 was not as impressive as expected. Here it was just 3% faster than the Radeon HD 6790, 11% faster than the HD 6770 and 17% faster than the GeForce GTX 550 Ti, yet 9% slower than the GeForce GTX 560. As you would expect the Radeon HD 7750 did no better, averaging 55fps, making it 10% slower than the HD 6770 and 5% slower than the GeForce GTX 550 Ti.

Posted on: 02/15/2012 09:03 PM AMD you are ripping us off, nVidia give us some competition please. Such a small chip can't be expensive to produce an certainly not worth what the consumer is charged for. 4770 -> 5770 -> 6770 -> 7770...... Looking for a GPU for my Mini-ITX HTPC but probably stick with a 6850 (I have the space and PSU). For this price I expect something that can play Full HD (Games ) with more frames then this offers. Too bad because I do like the power envelope of this thing. (Steve, thanks for the review)

ProX	Posted on: 02/15/2012 09:43 PM I agree massive rip off. How can AMD release a product that is so much slower than the competition and charge pretty much the same price. As the review said the GTX 560 is like 9 months old now and still much faster. Shame on you AMD!
