Gigabyte board -cant enable xmp

2133 is correct. Not so interested in overclocking as stability-surprised the board changed it settings as the memory is on their approved list. I do photo and video not gaming- If I overclocked anything it would likely just be my cpu Many thanks for your help

[DEAD] Diamond HD6770 1GB video card - $70FS/AR @Newegg today!

Oops- You are entirely right- Replied to your thread instead of mine I just went to TomsHW and checked their Benchmark charts and you are right- There is a substantial gap, with the 6850 and 6870 relatively close and the 6770 less close and reflected price, just as you said
