Sapphire HD 6770 FleX 1GB Pro Reviews

The Radeon HD 6770 may not be anything earth-shatteringly new, but by releasing an already-competent card at a lower price AMD has produced our new favourite mid-range card. The standard, non-FleX card is very good value for its performance, and the FleX version makes it easy to game on three monitors at reasonable resolutions.

In the standard gaming tests, the HD 6770 delivered results indicative of its architecture. Overclocking the HD 6770 lead to measurable performance increases across the board for not a lot of time commitment. The HD 6770 FleX was able to push out a 11%+ improvement on the core clock to 945MHz and a 13%+ bump on the GDDR5 memory clock to 1374MHz - both substantial and worthy of the time commitment. Once you get past the rebadging of the HD 5770 piece, you understand that the HD 6770 fills out the AMD HD 6XXX series product stack with enhancements, such as HDMI 1.4a and UVD3. The price point on the Sapphire HD 6770 FleX is a little higher than the vanilla models, but it comes with additional capabilities and is currently right on par with the HD 5770, so you get added features for the same cost. The FleX Edition cards fill a niche market and do a fine job of it, from gaming to enhancing your productivity at work. Sapphire has given us a product that allows us to have our cake and eat it to.

This particular card comes in at an affordable price and delivers better than expected performance. This is exactly what we have come to expect from a company like Sapphire. This product also comes with Sapphires 2 year warranty.
