Ordering from the egg right now!
I wish they hadn't junked the better looking better performing stock cooler AND raised the price $10 which is 10% for this segment.
If it goes down after release or a little later that won't be bad but it's gonna be butting heads with 4830/4850 a little on price at this point.
God those coolers look hideous to me....do they even have ram cooling on? or mosfet cooling?
What's the deal with the coolers anyway? Is this just the first batch that AMD wanted to get out the door? I've seen other pics with much better looking hardware on there.
The price increase is likely Newegg's typical +$10 on release markup
No paper launch. Initial batch will be with these coolers-Quote:

Suppose to have a $20MIR once AIBs get their own designs out.Quote:

NewEgg's marked up price does make the cards value suck. They have a 4830 for $86 and a 4850 for $119
There was a link to a thread with pictures from a guy who got the old heat sink. You could just tell. Sad thing is the white outline for the better cooler is still on the pcb :(Quote:

But fine, since you consider having 9600M GT (9500/8600GT) performance the pinnacle of what a notebook can have and no further improvments are needed, so RV740 is pointless. :rolleyes:
You seem to have big issues with ATI making new chips for predominantly different (OEM, Mobile) markets with desktop as a secondary target while having literally zero issues with nVidia making new, overlapping SKUs. Whatever, your personal vendettas are up to you.
p/s: I don't agree that the 4770 is the perfect chip especially with current market conditions or the pricing on it. I don't like the fact that the stupid GDDR5 memory controller retrain/flicker issue still persists. But at least ATI is doing something instead of just shipping their restickered SKUs to reviewers ASAP before launch day so they can get hits. Ultimately it's still up to the product itself.

Looks like a lot of site got the old cooler. Hope for us yet, or is ATI merely pulling an Nvidia with launch samples?
It looks like 99.9% of the people who got official ATI samples received slightly different cards from what will be available at launch and thereafter.Quote:

Is it worth it selling my 4850 for one of these? Or should I just keep it?

We asked AMD to clarify why there was a discrepancy between our cooler and the one we saw on the leaked images and it seems that AIBs were given a choice which cooler to use. All AIBs went for the cheaper one, so initially there will be no HD 4770s on store shelves that use the same cooler as our review sample.
damnQuote:
The HD 4770 supports CrossFire configurations with two cards. I did confirm with AMD that there is no support for CrossFire triple or quad. It wouldn't make sense on such a product anyway.
Funny how the cheaper one also seems to cool a good bit better...

Onetreehill: Your the man! Thanks for all the info & links every 3 seconds :)
Looks like we are comparing a HD4770 to a 260-216 now :ROTF:
That makes me sad. I had high hopes for CFX HD4770 benching @ 1+ GHz :(Quote:

Weaker performance with the 'big' cooler probably has something to do with the smaller, slow spinning fan. At the same time the 'big' cooler also has that giant ramsink and should get better avg. memory overclocks. Maybe board partners will be able to offer the "small" cooler with a better memory cooling implementation?
