Introduced in mid April 2009 and release only weeks later, the Radeon HD 4770 is a middle-of-the-road graphics card by AMD/ATI. The first graphics card to be built on a 40nm process, the HD 4770 reaches new performance levels for its price point, keeping heat, and power consumption at acceptable levels. While maintaining the 128bit memory bus found on the previous generation 4670, the card's performance improvements are due to an increased GPU speed - through use of a more energy efficient fabrication - as well as improving the overall memory bandwidth through use of faster DDR5 chips first used on the higher level 4870.

Pros
- uses the latest and greatest GDDR5 memory
- built on the latest, most energy efficient fabrication process
- plants itself firmly between the 4830 and 4850 in terms of performance
- extremely low power consumption - uses half the power of a 4830 under full load, while outperforming it, 17.4w idle
- high value - dollar for dollar better than any previous generation card in or around its price point (up to $150)
Cons
- uses double the power at idle as the previous generation 4670
- includes a noisy stock cooler
- 40nm fab issues at TSMC mean these are impossible to find months after their official release
- artificially limited overclocking ability
