Consumer pressure in this economic downturn is shifting demand to lower prices and the price band under £100 has the highest demand and highest volume. AMD has responded almost perfectly with the launch of the HD 4770, targeting this market with cutting-edge technologies like 40nm processors, support for DirectX 10.1 gaming and GDDR5 memory. This strategy stands in stark contrast to the old ‘trickle down’ technology approach some still use to address this important segment. It’s cheaper, smaller, quieter and more energy efficient than the HD 4850, and yet offers similar perform. If you’re a gamer on a budget, the HD 4770 is an absolute steal.
