Powercolor PCS HD 4670 512 MB

already on newegg.
 
Very thorough review Wizz, thanks. Particularly like the performance per watt and per $ to put this into perspective for its class.

It would be GREAT if you could have a reference card that was the typical upgrade-from card, to get an idea how much better this card is over the card that people have in their system (that they want to upgrade). What type of card does a person have who would consider a 4670? Perhaps Intel Integrated, or a x800 system or 7800? A comparison against one full generation below, rather than just all products in current generation. I know its more work... but the reference comparison would be invaluable.

4670 looks like a perfect solution for a "silent" office PC, or HTPC, with 3D ability, but not needed state-of-art gaming performance.

Key question: will it drive a 2560x1600 TFT? Or 2x 1600x1200?
 
Hell, I have a 3650 and I'm considering a 4670 -- it's more than twice as fast for $20 less than I bought my 3650 for. I just have to find a buyer on Ebay for my old 3650.
 
Got one from Newegg.

While the article shows HDMI adapter and Crossfire connector, they are not in the retail box. I'm not particularly happy about that...

Shoulda looked more closely at the pictures on NewEgg -- they're not in there, nor is it listed in the specs.

Just ordered mine this week -- the memory coolers did it for me, now I won't have to buy my own. :D
 
Cooler is very quiet at idle; I haven't tried to roast the GPU yet. VGA dongle feels really solid.

Be careful of errant cables. One could easily get hung in the open cooler fins and jam the fan when you set the box upright.
 
Aye, that's another reason why I went with the PowerColor -- Wiz's review showed that it was quiet as a mouse, even under load, really.
 
And it is quiet, and fast, and runs fine at stock clocks.
