Conclusion: It's frankly amazing what type of performance you can get these days for $100. While ATI expects the cards to be around $109 there should be rebates dropping it to $99. So for $99 you can max out most of the PC games out today up to 1920x1200 and some to 2560x1600 resolution. Clearly not Crysis and a few others but what you can is nothing short of fantastic. As far as the 40nm process we think it's still a little early but it is good to see ATI pushing forward with this and topping out Nvidia again. Overall it seems to offer much better performance for less or similar pricing, with more advanced tech with DX 10.1. Frankly it isn't much more to go for a 4870 at this point which might have longevity but a 4770 is an amazing card for the price and comes with no hesitation of recommendation. Pricing: We don't see the card at e-tailers yet but a Radeon 4850 can be had for $128. Score: 99%
