Do they make any 7770 cards with 2GB of memory?

I don't believe so.

If you want 2GB you can do a crossfire. This video Card is really an amazing buy @ $109 I bought one for $159 and I still think that it was a good deal. This is an amazing deal. If you want good graphics for milti-monitor or great graphics for a single monitor and for causal gaming, get this card. You can Crossfire it if you want more performance for gaming (2 is pretty much the same as GTX 580 i believe). These things run much cooler and use less energy than the older generations. If I had the money I'd buy another one for my other computer... Maybe Friday once I get paid.... but they may be sold out by then. Just one of these things will play video on 2 1080p monitors simultaneously without getting choppy at all.... But if you want to take full advantage of it, you should probablly have a decent CPU also. YOu can also custom overclock the cards BUT if you aren't playing graphics intensive games, there's no need. You can also play graphics-heavy facebook games on one 1080p screen and watch a blu-ray or youtube on the other screen

I have this exact card. The DirectCU cooler that ASUS uses is quite good. My card is idling at 36C with the fan at only 10%. Even during stress testing, the maximum temperature reached was 60C with the fan at only 20%. You absolutely can't hear it over the other parts in your computer.

I'm running it on a Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3R so it definitely is backwards compatible with PCI-E 1.0

That's not how it works. The memory isn't accumulated. You'd still effectively have a 1GB framebuffer.

oops... You're right I guess but the crossfire 2x 7770 was benchmarked and the performance is very close to GTX 580... I'm not sure if you can overclock in crossfire but I think that it's already fast enough... I'm not sure if you can put 4 of them in your box... But I know that it supports PCIE 3.0 but you'll probably only need that if you did actually put 4 of them in your computer...

This is AMAZING bang for your bucks in graphics

I am really tempted to pick this up, how much of an upgrade is it over this [microcenter.com]

This or the GTX560? For moderate gaming, and HTPC use.

The benchmarks are here...

But the memory on the 7770 is much faster... Probablly about 150% faster... I'm not sure if you can custom overclock that card that you put on there; this Asus one is already overclocked; but you can easily overclock it further.

It's surely a bit more bang for your bucks than that one. I think that you won't be sorry that you got it if you do get one but.... The only real downside is that when you get into really high-end games you'll need a fast processor as well

nice ,support it

Based on that, I'll keep the EVGA GTX 560 I bought for $160...
