ATI Radeon HD 4770 to use 80W

FUD Zilla claims the TDP of the upcoming Radeon HD 4770 (RV740) graphics card is 80W, which is just 5W more than the PCI Express slot can deliver. The card is expected in early May for around $99, it will compete with the NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT.
The cards current clocks are 750MHz for the core, and 800MHz for GDDR5 memory. As you all know this RV740 card will be ATI's first 40nm desktop product that will hit retail. The clocks aren't final yet so we guess that some things might change.

AMD is still pretty much silent about the rumored HD 4750 that should have a RV740 GPU paired up with GDDR3 memory, and we guess that this one could end up without the PCI-Express power connector, but we couldn't confirm that at this point since the HD 4770 is scheduled to release in the first week of May, probably on the week of May 4th..
