Sapphire Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition FleX Review - PAGE 13

As an entry level graphics solution, the Sapphire HD 7770 GHz Edition Flex is an excellent choice for those who are looking for a low cost upgrade or building an inexpensive CrossFireX setup. As a single card solution, the HD 7770 FleX is better suited for the 1920x1080 gaming crowd; even though it is capable of EyeFinity, it just doesn't have the power required to be playable at such extreme resolutions.

When it comes to power usage, it should deliver lower power consumption than some of the entry level cards even in a CrossFireX setup, making it the card of choice for those who want to game at 1920x1080 without using excessive power. Even at 1920x1080, the HD 7770 FleX is capable of running at high or maybe even the highest graphical settings... as long as it is not Battlefield 3.

The HD 7770 FleX is also ideal if you are looking for a card capable of supporting a multi-monitor setup for a home office or HTPC build, as it offers Blu-Ray playback along with HD content at full 1080p as well as 7.1 channel surround sound through the HDMI output. What's more, it can support three monitors straight out of the box with no additional Eyefinity adapters required.

With prices for the Sapphire HD 7770 GHz Edition FleX starting around $149.99, it offers a lot of value at an attractive price range for those looking to upgrade to a CrossFireX setup.
