Sapphire Radeon HD 7770 FleX GHz Edition 1GB Graphics Card Review

Noise is generally the bain of most consumers lives and in the hope of finding the quietest operation, we feel it’s necessary to show you the audio level of components. We use the same components throughout this test and use a sound level meter to record the audio level of the system with a passive graphics card installed. Once we have the level recorded with the passive card, we continue to change the graphics card for the one that we are testing. Due to us having the audio level recorded before installation, it gives us a guide to work with and shows that anything over our initial level is an audio gain.

So the performance didn’t’ show anything outstanding when we look at the graphics, but we still have the cooling performance to also consider, and straight away we can see that the 7770 fleX absolutely blew the other 7770 based cards out of the water including their very own Vapor-X card. As with all AMD cards, you will notice a high pitched whine when stressing the card, yet this particular card gave very unnoticeable noises from it under load.
