MSI R4770 T2D512 Radeon HD 4770 Video Card Review :: Card

The MSI R4770 card is a 2-slot solution, meaning that you need to have two free slots on the motherboard to install the card. The front of the PCB has a high efficiency cooling solution that combines a heatsink, a heat pipe and fans to cool the graphics chip. The fan is very quiet during operation with very little noise observed.
