MSI, leading technology innovator, today announced their latest 40 nanometer AMD Radeon HD 4770 GPU-based graphics card, the MSI R4770 series. MSI used only the very best components and even equipped the R4770 with traditionally high-end GDDR5 high-speed memory. Compared to graphics cards in this price segment the MSI R4770 stands out by virtue of its great performance while being exceptionally energy-efficient.
The first 40 nanometer graphics processor
In contrast to the traditional 55 or 65 nanometer graphics processors, the MSI R4770 is using the brand new 40 nanometer graphics processor allowing the overall design to dramatically reduce the space being occupied by the power circuitry and pipelines. This effectively results in improved power efficiency and also brings about a better signal quality.
By taking the lead in implementing the 40 nanometer graphics processor, which means it is possible to increase more circus or transistors with the extra space. Another advantage over the conventional 55 and 65 nanometer ones is the 40 nanometer GPU reduced power consumption which in turn also minimizes heat emission, and therefore allowing for a bigger overclocking potential.
Taking the lead by using high-speed GDDR5 on a budget graphics card
In the past only high-end graphics cards such as the R4870 and the R4890 series had been equipped with high-speed GDDR5 memory, MSI is taking the lead in adding GDDR5 memory to their budget cards, providing for higher clock speed. Furthermore, compared to equally clocked GDDR3, MSI R4770 series’ GDDR5 memory offers twice the data throughput bandwidth which is essential for modern games with their huge demand for complex rendering operations.
