Dynamic Power Management - ATI Radeon HD 4770 GPU delivers high performance when needed and conserves power when the demand on the graphics processor is low.
1 HD capable monitor required 2 ATI CrossFireX™ technology requires an ATI CrossFireX Ready motherboard, an ATI CrossFireX™ Bridge Interconnect and may require a specialized power supply. 3 Blu-ray drive required 4 The ATI Radeon™ HD 4770 GPU can upscale video display to 2560x1600 on dual-link monitors which is almost twice the display resolution of 1080p displays.
The product descriptions, features and performance results are for graphics cards based on AMD´s standard reference design for the ATI Radeon™ HD 4770 with GDDR5 memory. Third party manufacturers may modify these reference designs, which can result in product specifications, features and/or performance results different from those described in this document. Buyers should confirm exact specifications, features and performance of third party graphics cards before purchase.
ATI Radeon™ HD graphics chips have numerous features integrated into the processor itself (e.g., HDCP, HDMI, etc.). Third parties manufacturing products based on, or incorporating ATI Radeon HD graphics chips, may choose to enable some or all of these features. If a particular feature is important to you, please inquire of the manufacturer if a particular product supports this feature. In addition, some features or technologies may require you to purchase additional components in order to make full use of them (e.g. a Blu-Ray or HD-DVD drive, HDCP-ready monitor, etc.).
