powercolor pcs+ 6770 vortex - is this a legit card?

hi istoryans. just bought this card 3 weeks ago from PCexpress, performance is okay/good, just wondering why powercolor.com doesnt have a page for this card, i cant even find any decent review about this one.

there's a powercolor pcs+ 6770 vortex "II" here: PowerColor Official Website - Graphics, Cases, Power Supply -- PowerColor PCS+ HD6770 1GB GDDR5 Vortex II (DIRT3 EDITION)
but not "vortex" only.

another thing i noticed is this card looks unusually a LOT like the 5770 vortex edition here:PowerColor Official Website - Graphics, Cases, Power Supply -- PowerColor PCS+ HD5770 1GB GDDR5 (Vortex Edition). ive read a few articles saying 6770 is a repackaged 5770. im not sure if this is rebranding/renaming/reprinting at its finest or im missing out on something.

hope someone can shed some light on this situation.

i found the card's own page and it's very legit..im sure it wasnt there sa powercolor site during the start of this thread, but here it is..

Its not so much the numbering as it is the constant rebranding...

Apparently they have problems counting higher than 4 digits. XD

the thing is, i cant find any trace of this card on the internet....daghang vortex ii nga "6770"..walai vortex i or vortex. sa phil. sites ra like istorya/sulit/etc.

the closest i can find is 5770 nga vortex.

ive been looking for any trace of this product being legit for the past week.

its in the packaging/box jud.....6770 vortex..not vortex ii. I'll post some pics later if mada... the video card itself looks 99.9% like the 5770 vortex....EXCEPT the print says 6770.

check the pics here: AnandTech - Quick Look: PowerColor
and imagine that 5770 is 6770.
