Sure, it's a rebadge and it sucks.
Not sure why anyone is surprised, the 5770 is the best selling DX11 card on the market. And holds that position by a fairly hefty margin.
It only makes sense to keep on selling it. It performs adequately and is at a sweet price point for most Joe buyers. Nvidia did the exact same thing when they were in the position with the 8800GT AMD is in with the 5770. Heck, they made about six or seven different cards rebadging the 8800GT. That sucked too.
Get used to it I think. AMD is sitting in what is the best level of success they've had in terms of the quality of the products they have out in the VC market. Expect to see more rebadges if this continues. If it was nvidia who had been as successful with DX11, they'd probably have some sort of rebadge out now too.
