BENCHMARKING
DEVIL MAY CRY 4 (8X AA / 16X AF)
Devil May Cry 4 is an excellent DX10 benchmark with striking visual effects and an excellent integrated benchmark. Performance was on par with other HD 4770 cards tested and still represents a good value for the money.
QUAKE WARS: ENEMY TERRITORY BENCHMARK (8X AA / 16X AF)
QT:EW followed the same trend and framerates were still very acceptable even at 1920x1200 resolution.
CRYSIS HOC CRYTEK BENCHMARK (8X AA / 16X AF)
Crysis and its full use of almost every DX9c quality setting available is the pivotal game to benchmark any recent hardware against. this game even with moderate resolutions can render a fast card unplayable if you increase the only to a medium level.

Overall the performance is on par with any other HD 4770 reference card. The slightly lower memory overclock does show in the lower resolutions tests but overall, no difference is noted.
CRYSIS WARHEAD HOC CARGO BENCHMARK (8X AA / 16X AF)
This benchmarks eats videocards and spits them out. This is not the card if you want to play this game with decent quality and resolution settings. Stick to the dual core cards or a crossfire setup if you want this game to play properly.
