Overall and FV
When you are shopping for a new video card you are going to have a lot of options to select from, even just when considering what models to pick from AMD and Nvidia. As always your budget will determine what you will be looking at. If you find yourself looking at HD 7770’s, even just from Sapphire there is a wide selection of models to pick from. In the case of the HD 7770 FleX, it’s going to take a very specific buyer to be looking at the card. Most looking for the best possible performance will see better cooling and a slight bump in performance with Sapphires HD 7770 Vapor-X. Having said that, if you are like me and running multiple monitors, you need to be able to hook them all up as well as see the in game performance you expect. In the case of the HD 7770 FleX, in its price range you just don’t have any other options. You won’t see 60+ FPS while running Eyefinity in most games, but you will be able to hook up all three of your monitors for work and then when you play you will see playable frame rates in just about every game on the market with the settings turned up. With a MSRP of $149.99, that is a deal and a half. Not long ago you would have had to spend twice that for the same performance, and even then you would have to buy an adapter to get your third monitor up and running. Sapphire has packed it all up into a good deal and even included a free HDMI cable to boot.
