@ 2011/10/10One year ago, in October 2010, we said goodbye to ATI after testing its entire Radeon HD 5xxx model range. The company itself merged with AMD but its graphics cards have lingered longer than the ATI brand. For its current 6 series AMD uses the good old Radeon HD 5750 and HD 5770 rebranded as HD 6750 and HD 6770, respectively, and equipped with HDMI 1.4a and OpenGL 4.1 support. There are no other differences in specs between these two pairs of graphics cards.
So, AMD/ATI supporters have no choice in the mainstream category other than buying the old ATI Radeon HD 5770/5750s which are still selling or the “new” AMD Radeon HD 6770/6750s. The latter pair is likely to be preferred, so we are going to test a few such cards today. For this review to offer new information compared to our earlier articles about such products, we will take cards from ASUS, Gigabyte and PowerColor which all have one common trait. They have passive cooling. Let’s take a look at each of them and compare their performance.
