MSI R7770 Power Edition 1GD5 Pro Reviews

This is as good as it gets if you're looking for a genuinely gaming-capable card at the sub-£100 level. Granted, it's only just under £100, but compared with the competing GTX 650, at this price point it's the gamer's only real option.

For a mid-range graphics card the MSI R7770 Power Edition packed a lot of performance in a small, energy efficient package. Being factory overclocked to 1.1GHz is an amazing feat for any card! There was still headroom beyond the factory overclock of 1100/1125MHz core and memory to 1183/1450MHz fully stable. Power consumption was minimal – the whole system drew up to180W at load. Temperatures with both fans installed rivaled the best competition while operating quietly when they were left on automatic control. One of these can provide a decent gaming experience while costing less than $150. Two of these in CrossFireX would still cost substantially less than a 7950 with the possibility of similar performance in games that respond to CrossFireX. The chart results look one sided because current offerings are mostly high-end components while this is obviously a mid-range graphics card.
