The VTX3D HD6770 arrives in a red box with a picture of ATI's mascot Ruby on the front. We aren't sure AMD are still using her for company promotion, but it certainly brings back positive memories of the good old days.
Not really much of a bundle with the HD6770. Just a simple installation guide and a software/driver disc.
Another red PCB design with bright red plastic cooler and black fan.
This card is Crossfire capable and would certainly offer decent frame rates within a performance oriented media system.
The HD6770 requires a single 6 pin connector for operation.
A similar output configuration when compared to the HD6670 on the last page. A single full size HDMI port, DVI port and VGA port.
The cooler is easy to remove, and this version is higher quality, being copper construction.
Above, a GPUz overview of the hardware which features 1GB of GDDR5 memory connected via a 128 bit memory interface. There are 800 unified shaders onboard with 16 ROPS.
Them seem a decent make and if Amazon stock them, their warranty system is excellent regardless of the manufacturer. This is why I order from amazon all the time, no quibble returns if problems occur.
I would however look at a passive card for a media center, although many of these cards dont generate much noise at all. I read a thread where a guy disabled the fan on his card and underclocked it by 100mhz and it was fine! (6670)
6670 for a media center would be my first choice. I currently use an nvidia board but its old and about to die. might look at a passive 6670
Id go for a passive solution in this sector.
