The mainstream AMD Radeon 7700-series of graphics cards is all about low power consumption. Performance is increased only slightly compared to the previous generation of cards, and no major new features are introduced, but the smaller 28nm manufacturing process allows for record low power usage - both at idle and under load. That in turn also leads to lower noise levels, especially when coupled with upgraded cooling solutions like MSI's twin fan design.

This specific model, the Radeon HD 7770, is a little faster than the 7750 and sports 1GB of graphics memory. Like earlier Radeon cards in the 5000 and 6000 series, it also supports Eyefinity for multiple monitor connections, Crossfire, DirectX 11, OpenGL, Accelerated Parallel Processing, the Havok physics engine, and 3D Blu-ray movies.
