Today we’ll find out if two of GIGABYTE’s HD6770 Silent Cell cards can match the performance of a Radeon HD 6950. We were impressed with how this no-fan silent configuration CrossFireX setup performed. However, is it worth $280 against the falling prices of the Radeon HD 6950?

Gigabyte is a hardware manufacturer and one of the most respected PC component builders in the business today. The company was established in 1986 in Taipei, Taiwan, and is best known for its motherboards. Gigabyte has a vast product line, including motherboards, graphics cards, notebooks, LCDs, mobile devices, tablet computers, computer cases, and many other PC peripherals.

On our test bench today are two of GIGABYTE’s HD6770 Silent Cell cards sporting GIGABYTE’s Silent Cell cooling system that includes no fans, just one huge heat sink. It is currently the only silent solution for an HD 6770 on the market. We want to know if two off these in a CrossFireX setup can be a silent solution to a Radeon HD 6950. We will also see how they do against a Radeon HD 6950 and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 which are both in the comparable price range. This is the most powerful silent CrossFireX solution possible.

The AMD Radeon HD 6770 is based on the same hardware as the ATI Radeon HD 5700 series. The only real difference between the HD 6700 and HD 5700 series is the sticker on the cards and a few BIOS changes that were made after AMD integrated the ATI brand name.
