HIS HD6770 IceQ X Turbo Crossfire Review
Introduction and Technical Specifications
Published: 10th August 2011 | Source: HIS | Price: £101 |
Introduction
We've always been a fan of the lower-end graphics cards available. There is something enjoyable about finding a gem of a card at a really affordable price that gives us a grin.
One company that have always done their best to push these value cards hard is HIS Digital. They've never been shy about ripping the reference cooler off and using their own, and more often than not giving the GPU a mild overclock.
These low-end cards have usually been great when paired up in Crossfire, and so that's what we're going to do today.
Technical Specifications
Despite being labelled as a HD6770 card, this is really a rebadged HD5770. We've got the Juniper GPU tied in to 128bit Memory. 800 shaders are married to 16 ROPs and 40 texture units. So it's a 5770.
Thankfully HIS have done their very best to breathe new life into it with the IceQ cooler and a speed tweak to the GPU. A free copy of Dirt 3 will help the reality of buying a graphics card from the last generation go down a little smoother.

.If you want a cheap crossfire set up for £202 two of these are worth it, but for a single card, as said in the review the 6850/70 are the better cards to go with.Quote
im not so sure that anyone considering these cards has an X-58 mobo and i-7 processor@4GHz backing them up......
