Gigabyte Intros New Cheap DDR3-Based HD 5670 Graphics Card
Gigabyte introduced a new Radeon HD 5670 based graphics card that is intended to be cost-effective. Carrying the model number GV-R567D3-1GI, it makes use of 1 GB of DDR3 memory instead of GDDR5. The 1 GB of memory is clocked at 800 MHz (1600 MHz DDR), installed across a 128-bit wide memory interface. The standard HD 5670 features 1 GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 1000 MHz (4000 MHz GDDR5 effective). The HD 5670 GPU is clocked at 775 MHz. Based on the 40 nm Redwood core, it features 400 stream processors. Other features specific to Gigabyte's design include a silent double-slot cooler that makes use of an 80 mm fan, and display connectivity that includes one each of DVI, D-Sub, and a gold-plated HDMI port. Gigabyte did not give out a price, though one can expect it to be a little lower than that of the standard HD 5670.

Am I suppose to jizz in my pants?
and GTX 460 which is 3x more powerful and has 768MB of memory???
This is basically a pre-overclocked HD5570. The memory is what makes the difference between a HD5570 and a HD5670.
There are even some HD5570 with GDDR5 around, and those should be a lot faster than this 5670!
