![]() ![]() ![]() The main difference is the design of the shroud, the fans used, and the actual heatsink design on the card. The SAPPHIRE HD 7770 Vapor-X cooler design is extremely similar to the XFX Radeon HD 77xx, 78xx, and 79xx non-reference design video cards. On the right side we can see the cover taken off the video card. Technically that cover can stay on, and we know some people that intentionally keep the cover on to protect their cards, but we would not recommend this as it obstructs proper airflow. As we can see, the video card is covered by a plastic transparent cover to protect the video card’s shroud from any scratches during installation and during shipment. There are no other necessary parts required, but a Crossfire Bridge would have been a nice addition for the users that are going with a SAPPHIRE VAPOR-X HD 7770 GHz EDITION OC CrossfireX configuration.Īnd here we have it, the actual video card. Inside the box we can find the video card in a anti-static bubble bag, with the following accessories: 1.8 meter HDMI monitor cable, a VGA to DVI adapter, and a Molex to a single 6-pin PCI-E Power Connector. Do note that the complete boxing for the video card is fully 100% recyclable cardboard paper, so its easy to recycle and keep our environment clean. #HD DIRT 3 IMAGES DRIVER#There was no Driver CD or Installation Guide included, which is not a big deal breaker for an advanced computer user, but could be an issue for the rookie gamers that are not very familiar with the hardware installation process. Inside the cover, we can see a cardboard box, with a sturdy cardboard divider to hold the video card and all the accessories. These features include a 1GB GDDR5 memory, the card being a factory overclocked card, the Vapor-X vapor chamber design cooler, and of course the fact that this package also comes included with a 1.8 meter HDMI cable. There is not much to the box besides showing off some of the features of the card. The choice of dark and light blue colors makes the box look very sleek and professional. The packaging for the SAPPHIRE VAPOR-X HD 7770 GHz EDITION OC video card is quite nice. When operational temperatures drop by 20☌, the product life span is extended by a factor of ten, when the operational temperature increases by 20☌, the product life span only decreases by 10%. ![]() Improved reliability and better overclocking are possible by using only high-polymer, aluminum capacitors which posses far superior characteristics than regular aluminum capacitor for a longer product life. The graphics card will be more reliable and save energy. By working with the component engineer, Sapphire’s patent pending choke is 10% cooler and offers 25% more power efficiency than a normal choke. #HD DIRT 3 IMAGES FULL#A Vapor-X product means a virtually silent gaming experience and more headroom to explore performance tweaking !īlack Diamond Choke & Full Solid Cap DesignChoke is an important component of the graphics card. Vapor-X Technology SAPPHIRE’s innovative Vapor-X cooling technology allows products to run not only cooler but also much quieter. Otherwise you should expect spending about $149.99 on this card. The SAPPHIRE VAPOR-X HD 7770 GHz EDITION OC costs roughly $134.99 with a product promotion. So our main focus in this review will be to see how well the card is built, how far we can push the card without losing stability, and how it actually performs in real-world modern games at resolutions of 1280 x 1024, 1680 x 1050, and 1920 x 1080. Therefore, these cards are not designed to dominate the gaming world at really high resolutions of 2560 x 1080 or 1920 x 1080, unless some of the graphics settings are tuned down. The SAPPHIRE VAPOR-X HD 7770 GHz EDITION OC follows AMD’s Radeon HD 7770 reference design with the exception of a custom SAPPHIRE Vapor Chamber design cooler, along with a higher factory overclocked GPU and Memory frequency.Īs we take a look at the SAPPHIRE VAPOR-X HD 7770 GHz EDITION OC, we do have to keep in mind that we are still testing a fairly low-end mid-range graphics card. This time around we are taking a look at SAPPHIRE’s VAPOR-X HD 7770 GHz EDITION OC video card, which comes with a very similar cooler design, and cooling performance. The XFX R7750 Black Edition cost roughly about $124.99, and had a very nice solid composition with a Double Dissipation (Dual-Fan) cooler design. The Vaper-X HD 7770 GHz Edition OC uses a vapor design air cooler with two fans to provide a quiet and cool gaming environment over the standard AMD reference design.Ī few days ago we have reviewed XFX’s Radeon HD 7750 Black Edition factory overclocked video card. The SAPPHIRE Vapor-X HD 7770 GHz Edition OC Video Card is SAPPHIRES latest offering in the AMD Radeon HD 7770 line-up of graphics cards. ![]()
