While the headlines will focus on the latest and greatest at the cutting edge of the graphics card market, the real battle is most likely won more in the midrange, where the balance of technological advances and cost wage war. With this in mind, AMD has produced the W7700, an impressively specified GPU that comes in under the $1000 mark. While that isn’t cheap by any means, it is significantly cheaper than the big guns. But is it worth the outlay?
