The HD 4770 from XFX is a dual-slot video card meaning that the card requires two slots on a motherboard to install. The card uses the reference cooler with a Radeon HD 4770 logo on the heatsink. The fan is a 47-fin fan that covers the rear of the heatsink area. There are eight memory chips on the video card providing 512MB of GDDR5 memory.

The rear of the PCB has the Part Number and Serial number sticker. The mounting bracket for the graphics chip is held by four pins. The top of the card has two Crossfire bridges. The PCI Express 2.0 specification provides a maximum of 75W of power to a video card. The HD 4770 requires up to 80W of power, meaning that a 6-pin power connector is present to provide the extra power.
