We featured a similar one earlier (Asus EAH4770) and got the following benchmark results:

3DMarks Score: 9,837
SM2.0 Score: 4,337
HDR/SM3.0 Score: 4,982
CPU Score: 2,091
PCMarks: 3,628
Gaming Suite: 3,850

However, this card showed up a slightly different results using the same PC system for benchmarking:

3DMarks Score: 9,584
SM2.0 Score: 4,287
HDR/SM3.0 Score: 4,800
CPU Score: 2,033
PCMarks: 3,647
Gaming Suite: 3,772

The difference is not that significant though.

The Asus EAH4770 comes with the basic features — an ATI Radeon HD 4770 GPU, 512MB of DDR5 video memory, dual DVI-I/VGA, HDTV-Out, HDMI and supports Microsoft DirectX 10.1.

The GPU stats is as follows:

GPU Code Name:  RV740
GPU Process:  40nm
GPU Transistors: 826 million
Board Power:  80W
GPU Core Clock Speed: 750MHz
Memory Capacity: 512MB GDDR5
Memory Speed: 800MHz (3200MHz GDDR5)
Memory bandwidth: 51.2 GB/s
Stream Processors: 640
Texture units: 32
Raster Operators: 16
GFLOPS: 960

The card itself isn’t as humongous as the other GTX cards out there and has a fairly-sized fan and heatsink that is very silent when operating (that’s one less noise you have to worry for your system).

We did a round of testing and ran some benchmarks for PC Vantage, 3DMarks and SiSoft Sandra to see how it performs. Our basic system includes an AMD Athlon X2 7750 2.7GHz, 2GB Kingston DDR2 800 RAM, MSI K9A2VM-F V2 motherboard running Windows Vista 64-bit.

The Asus EAH4770 got the following scores:

3DMarks Score: 9,837
SM2.0 Score: 4,337
HDR/SM3.0 Score: 4,982
CPU Score: 2,091
PCMarks: 3,628
Gaming Suite: 3,850

The 3D Marks06 score of 9,837 for the EAH4770 is fairly good and comparative to the standard score of an ATI Radeon HD 3850.

The card gives some pretty good performance considering its midrange status and price point. The Asus EAH4770 with 512MB DDR5 could have a suggested retail price in the vicinity of Php5,000 when it becomes available locally.
