When did the it swith to 4770? All rumors pointed to it using one of the 4800s with the 4850 being the big contender.

4770 was the initial rumor to being with because of its combination of power efficiency, modern die process and power.

No, I remember the initial rumor. It started right after the console was announced at e3 2011. A japanese website published the initial information and it mentioned that it would used a GPU that based around the 4850 with an indepentend tessellator.

It is also what popped up and every leak that I can remember. Seeing 4770 is a rather recent thing.

Run a Google search with date parameters and you'll find a lot of talk and rumor of the HD 4770 as far back as early 2011.
