Does anyone know if this card has a coupon also?

Good deal considering Tom's article on using it in CF mode.

Seems like it is still a better deal to get the 4890 when it's on sale for <$200 AR especially if you are running at high resolution. Hot deal for a single card though.

This is just a die shrunk version of the 4830, just uses about 20 watts less power. I picked up mine about 3 months ago for less than $75.

 

[StormSide]

$100 now with free shipping ...

not quite, but it should perform approximately the same spec wise, but the die design is completely different.

Its more correct to probably say its a 4670 with double the shaders

but 2 in crossfire for $200 wow thats a sweet price for the performance!

If you've got a motherboard that supports it. If not, a 4890 for $220-230 is a better deal.

And DDR5.

Memory bandwidth is still close to the same. In Fact my 4830 does 57 GB/sec on a 256 bit bus, the 4770 is listed at 51GB/sec on a 128 bit bus. The 4770 does have a clock speed advantage though and will most likely OC more.

Comparison

Comparison

The unreleased ASUS TOP 4770 is supposed to get 971 Mhz on the core and 4600 MHz on the memory using the reference design cooler.

But I have to agree with you though some of these 4830 deals are pretty appealing to me (especially if they have a free game like Stalker Clear Sky)

The 4850 is also in the same same price ballpark. So I would say the best price out of those three as they are almost the same card.

 

[arkcom]

$99 now.
These look like they would do very nicely with 1gb ram.

 

[bigsnyder]

When will we see the HD4750 if ever?

Can you elaborate as to why? Thanks.

 

[konakona]

yeah, the card only packs 512mb on-board ram. what arkcom said is a bit misleading if he meant otherwise. man, now I wish I held off on my 4830 purchase. that card has served me well for FO3 and GRID though, so I got my money's worth

 

[nyker96]

says $99.

Yes, I meant VRAM. The only time the 4890 beats the crossfired 4770's is at very high res with AA.

Last night when I posted this the price was something like $90.78 plus shipping.

um, a 4850 is cheaper...

but that one is going to be hotter, noisier, and use more power for about the same performance...

Maybe 20 - 30 watts more. Considering how hot video cards have been over the last three years the 4770, 4830, and 4850 are all in the same ballpark performance and power wise. Frankly it would be foolish and not an upgrade to switch between any of them.

 

[The0ne]

High resolution on my computers means on 30" LCDs so going to have to go with single 285's or above The 4890 or nice however.

 

[The0ne]

yea, the price was $90 that's why it was a good deal. That means you get two for CF for $180, which is a great! But at $100, hmm might have to think twice
