Well... I am thinking of buying a graphics card for a new build. I am thinking along the lines of a HD 7770. I know this card is a solid overclocker and packs lots of new technologys such as ZeroCore. But it sometimes gets beaten by the HD 6850. I am still leaning towards the 7770 because of the...
