Rating + 4 If you're on a budget, buy this card.


Pros: This is the best bang for your buck that you can get on a graphics card. I bought it along with an Acer H243 monitor and it runs the monitor at its most maxed out resolution (1900 x 1200) perfectly. Video quality and picture quality look great, and the setup was a breeze.

Cons: ATI software - at least the most current drivers that I'm using - made it difficult to properly adjust the color settings. Using anything other than default settings the reds and oranges ran together, making it difficult to tell them apart. Video card came with a faulty HDMI adapter that caused the monitor to not recognize its signal. Sapphire's technical support didn't seem to acknowledge that the card even came with an HDMI adapter. No biggie but in my new system I will want to be able to hook this up to an HDTV eventually so that will be an issue.

Other Thoughts: I'm upgrading a Core 2 Duo to an i7 system so this video card will be put into the new machine - at least until DX 11 cards start coming out. It replaced an older ATI 1650 card that couldn't handle dual displays. This one handles dual displays (an Acer H243 and a Hanns-G 19" display practically flawlessly. I'd rate this 4 1/2 stars if I could.

Rating + 5 Great Buy


Pros: This card is fast, quiet and cheap. During heavy use I have never seen my temp go over 51C, and the fan does not usually go over 15%. Plays almost all games on med to high settings.

Cons: None really.

Other Thoughts: Major step up from my Radeon X1300 XGE.

Rating + 4 Great card, poor Linux support


Pros: Great card. Outperformed my old 8800GTS, and doesn't need 4 6-pin power connectors capable of providing 2.1 gigawatts each. MUCH smaller and more powerful than the older giant cards like NVidia 8800 series. I'd definitely still be using it if it wasn't for the Linux drivers.

Cons: Terrible Linux support. Doesn't work with ati/radeon/radeonhd drivers, and fglrx slows down my X startup tremendously. Compiz would resize windows horribly slowly (sometimes it took 30 seconds to almost a minute to get my window where I wanted it). Noisy card, but not really a concern to me.

Other Thoughts: I ended up switching back to my old 8800GTS because of the Linux issue. If you don't want Compiz and you don't do heavy 3d acceleration (ie gaming) under Linux, this card will certainly do the job.
If it overrides your windows sound card, try Control Panel -> Sounds and Audio Devices -> Audio and change the default playback/recording devices from the ATI card to your old card.
I'm still waiting for Intel to come out with their GPUs which should actually treat Linux as a legitimate operating system.

Pros: Very easy to install, thats if you have a good case. I play crisis, wow, TF2, and CSS all on high settings and there is no lag at all. I downloaded the drivers online for the most up to date and that installed well without any problems.

Cons: None yet

Rating + 3 Noisy fan


Pros: GPU has stellar support for HTPC tasks like upscaling, deinterlacing, and postprocessing. Component output support (with component dongle included). HDMI dongle included. Onboard eight-channel LPCM HD audio. Single slot.

Cons: Very noisy fan, and more expensive than other 4670 offerings.

Other Thoughts: If I had known of the fan problems, I would have bought a different card. I can't use this card for my intended purpose (HTPC).

Rating + 5 Fantastic Card


Pros: Fantastic card- works great for everyday stuff (internet, DVDs, etc.) and for more graphics intensive applications. Games run great, you might not be able to max every setting out, but with most graphics settings at or above 90%, it still runs like a charm, not had anything drop below 20fps even with crazy amounts of action and effects going on.

Cons: None. Worked right out of the box, just had to download the latest drivers from ATI's website to get the proper screen resolution available for the desktop and such.

Other Thoughts: To be completely fair, this is my first self-built computer, and I'm updating from a laptop with an integrated ("OC'd" to 128MB) video unit that just didn't cut it if I wanted to do... well, anything. It got caught up on DVDs at times, so going from THAT to THIS, there's just no comparison.

Rating + 4 Great card, had temporary issues.


Pros: This card worked great!

Cons: After owning is for six months, my monitor would start shutting off after the Windows splash screen. It would work in Safe Mode, but nothing else. Rolled back drivers, no effect. Placed in different PC, same issue. I even reloade Vista Ultimate and Windows 7 Ultimate 64, but still did not work. It would work with XP Professional and the driver on the cd.

Other Thoughts: FYI for all of you having problems with the video resting, try a different video cable. I had the same issue with the video resting after the splash screen. I had the card replaced but still the same issue. As a last resort before asking for a refund, I changed video cable. I was using a DVI-I cable, changed to a DVI-I to VGA cable and it worked fine. Just a thought.

Pros: Works great for the games that I play. Used this in my budget desktop that I built. Runs Fallout3 on ultra high settings. Can't go wrong with this for the price.

Cons: Runs a tad hot(40-45C) when gaming for extended amounts of time, but no where near as hot as my older video cards.

Rating + 2 Not that great


Pros: Fast NewEgg shipping. Beautiful graphics and fast frame rates.....

Cons: for about a month. Then the random reboots set in whenever anything semi-graphical intensive was tried. Even with games set on low, the reboots still occur (albeit less frequent).

Other Thoughts: Reboots not due to heat. System temp sub 40C, and GPU touchably cool after an event.

Pros: >45FPS at max settings in WoW with a F@H client running
I haven't seen fan speed higher than 30% even after the GPU was running at 90%+ usage for 10 hours straight [F@H GPU client]
Nice OC'ing with ATi Catalyst Control Center

Cons: fan can be a little loud (when you manually control it)

Other Thoughts: Make sure you get the newest drivers straight from AMD's site.

Rating + 5 Just Nice


Pros: Graphics are nice for the price. Really not bad for a mid level graphics card. Runs all my games without any problems that I had with my old card. That is to be expected since I went from the Radeon x300 to this one. HD online videos are crystal clear. The Control Center is easy to use, even for a beginner to understand.

Cons: The fan is somewhat audible when running high level graphics or HD video.

Other Thoughts: Very nice card if you don't have the hundreds of dollars for the higher level cards. Also, this card is capable of Crossfire so that is something I can look forward to later if I decide to have alittle more power.

Rating + 5 Love this card


Pros: This card is great. It does exactly what I need and want it to do. It has a lower power thirst, so my 550 w power supply is plenty enough for it. The Gig of DDR3 RAM is super nice...one of the main reasons I picked this card. The features on this card in this price range made the decision easy.

Cons: Not a genuine HDMI connector, but not a big deal in the real world to me.

Other Thoughts: I got this card to be able to run my Battlefield 2 at a higher resolution than I had been playing. It was a great surprise to see the game defaulted to the HIGH setting just from the card. I cranked up the AA to max and now it seems I have a new game. I constantly get killed because I'm too busy looking at details I have never seen before. I love this card!

Pros: Price is outstanding! Went from a 3.4 to a 4.2 Vista experience rating with this card. Colors are vibrant and "pop" way better than my 256 card did. I am a designer, so don't do much gaming but this thing is really nice. Running on an older Media Center (Vista), so lot's of multiple videos, iTunes, Sirius, etc. running. Couldn't be happier.

Pros: Awesome Card, Plays all the games I wanted it to with no problem. Crysis, WoW, Half-Life Series, all around 30-120 fps depending on what I'm looking at.. Very Quiet, Installed Easy, and smaller then my old ATI Radeon 9800Pro 256MB Card and the same size of my Sapphire Radeon X1600 card I just replaced with it.

Cons: Site said Memory Clock is 2000MHz but its actually only 873MHz... Think someone Miss read the spec's. Had a few problems with the CCC but I turned it off and now it run's fine.

Other Thoughts: I think I could get more power out of it if i didn't have it on such a old Processor.

Rating + 5 Great Product, But


Pros: So far this card has been great for me. Low price, low power consumption, and high performance. No real problems encountered since I installed it.

Cons: Tricky naming. This card is part of the Radeon HD 4xxx series, but make no mistake, it doesn't even compare to the HD 48xx series, not even the "low" end HD 4830. This is a repackaged HD 3870, except it's clocked a little slower, actually.
Even though the RAM is half the size on it, you'll actually get slightly (and that's a very small slightly) better performance out of a Radeon HD 3870 512MB:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102719

Other Thoughts: The 1GB of RAM is a gimmick since it doesn't really help it outperform the 512MB model it's a repackage of, but it's not really a Con either since it doesn't cost any extra, really. Great card, regardless.

Pros: This card is awesome. I play COD4 and CODWAW with the graphics and screen res maxed out with no lag and frame rates at 40-50 fps and thats without overclicking. And it doesn not require an additional 6 pin power connector.

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: Best bang for your dollar, dont go and spend $200+ on a different gpu when this little guy does it all and under $100. I wouldnt suggest using the drivers included go straight to ati.com and download the latest drivers.

Pros: I got this card just a few hours ago and I cant believe I payed this little amount for a card that can do all this I had the 4550 so this was a mega upgrade WoW went from no antialiasing and no shadow to 8x AA and full shadow and runs a constant frame set of 50-80 frames and I can run FEAR 2 maxed out at 50-60 frames I runs Crysis on med or high decently but I have come to believe that Crysis code might be a little to harsh cause FEAR looks comparably the same as Crysis and takes half the hard ware If you looking for a cheap upgrade that will really put out some quality stuff Look no further

Cons: Fan is loud at 100% speed but it never runs that fast and it idles at 3% I found out this messing in ATi Catlyst Control Center

Rating + 5 Big bang for the buck


Pros: Uses low power. Even if the specification is for 450W, it runs nicely (so far) with my 350W PSU. I noticed a huge improvement in gaming speed and frame rate (my previous card was an Radeon HD 3450, 256 MB that came with the Dell Studio). Game rating jumped from 4.1 (graphics) to 5.7. I play, among others, Crysis, Call of Duty 4, Far Cry 2 and all run in high settings. Another plus is that it occupies only one slot. For the price, a card like this is hard to beat.

Cons: None so far.

Rating + 1 2 Cards two errors


Pros: When I originally got the first card it worked great. Video played nicely. Lots of options in the CCC for fine tuning and maximizing the card. COD4 played great nice and smooth on my 720p television.

Cons: Fist card started causing BSOD every time on boot up into windows. Started to fragment images, artifacting, and replaying a still image when video would play (only played in full screen black image the rest of the time.
Assumed it was a failure RMA'd the card. Got second card in. Installed driver for Vista 64bit. Screen went black. No images from then on. No sound nothing. Deleted driver and reinstalled to the same issue. Tried installing drivers only... same issue. Don't know what the heck is the matter with it. Have a 9400GT that I was trying to upgrade from and have been forced to stick with that one. This card has really soured me on ATI and i don't know when I will get another.

Other Thoughts: 2 Video Cards with good reviews and neither works appropriately (at least not with Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit) a shame too because the specs were right where I wanted them.

Rating + 5 GREAT UPGRADE!


Pros: This card jumped my fps to an awsome 100 + fps in steam games. I would suggest this card to anyone with a low card cause theres always the option of buying another one and crossfiring (which im doing soon)

Cons: gets a little hot and fan is a little loud but doesnt bother me.

Other Thoughts: great card and if you buy two to crossfire its priceless

Pros: Really fast and i can play any game that i have with setting on max without issue.

Cons: that it only has a 128bit interface.

Other Thoughts: Over all i am really happy with this card. this is the first card that i bought in several years and really happy. I wish that i have a mobo that can support crossfire though.

Rating + 4 loud but adequate


Pros: FITS IN A SHUTTLE CASE!! The unit has a fan and heatsink that are slim enough for the toughest of case mounting. To my knowledge, it doesnt get much tighter than a shuttle case. And it fits with room to spare. I stuck some ram coolers on the back and she's running good. It comes with a good overclocking set up so you can beef it up past specs.

Cons: LOUD. Definitely not as loud as some video cards, but for this case its the loudest thing in it. It doesnt make waffles, french fires, or turn barbie dolls into Kelly LeBrock.

Other Thoughts: Im not an avid gamer and dont plan on buying the newest highest res games. I own a few of the Call Of Duty games and play movies. so far, this thing does it all with pin ash. For the money, it aint a bad deal.

Rating + 1 Great...BUT......


Pros: Great Standalone card....able to play Need for Speed:Undercover @1440x900 (the native resolution for my monitor), CoD4 played well too...no hiccups (that i didnt cause) Only games i have had enough time to play and beat since owning this card...and all the other stuff i put in my system....beats the hell outta my old Radeon 9550 256MB

Cons: Alright Sapphire...would it kill ya to i dunno...maybe not include all the extra adapters and slip in a CrossFireX cable...With only one per card, you would be able to buy 2 cards and connect them together....GRRR!!!....i bought 2 of these and i can only use one at a time (for now) but still one should come in the box. Bought it for Crossfire...cant use it cause cables didnt come with it. MAJOR CON!!!

Other Thoughts: Stop being so cheap sapphire....just put the Crossfire Cables in there....it would probably increase sales....cause the people that want these cards for crossfire will be more likely to buy these if they came with cables....

Rating + 5 Awesome card


Pros: Its definitely a great card for the Money. You can run UT3 on high settings and get over 60+ fps on most maps with the Res at 1280x1024 so its got some (_|_) for the price. My card overclocked pretty well and it isn't that loud with the fan all the way up, but my computer has 3 120 fans on full blast so its not a silent PC to begin with.

Cons: It didn't make me a complete breakfast.

Other Thoughts: For the money you can't find a better card other than the 4830. If your running res 1280x1024 and lower this card will fit your needs very well.

Rating + 2 Terrible. Beware Black screen of death!!


Pros: A ton of memory. Dual link DVI.

Cons: Suffers from the "Black screen of death" while using DVI in Vista 64-bit. Works great using the analog RGB cable, but using DVI will result in the monitor shutting off unless you're using a silly $100+ Monster Cable, which is ridiculous.

Other Thoughts: Using a monster system including the following:
AMD Phenom II 940
610w PC Power and Cooling power supply
Omega HT Sound card
8gb G-Skill DDR2 1066 Ram
Lite-On Blu-ray iHES206

Rating + 5 Wow...


Pros: Well going from an 8x AGP card, i paid 100 bux for back several years ago, to this card, now paying again, 100 bux. this card runs all the recent games at top quality with superb results. Any game iv thrown at it, it has taken very well and run full settings at very good FPS, also at max resolution the game can handle. After buying this card, i dont see the point in getting a $400 graphics card, two of these should handle anything for 200 bux. Hell, even one handles enough for me. Only game i havent tested yet is crysis.

Cons: For the price, theres really no cons.

Other Thoughts: Dont understand how such a good card is so cheap? and highly underrated.

Rating + 4 Overall very good


Pros: Setup is an HP Pavilion Elite m9040n.

The card setup was moderate, fitting into the slot fine. Care needed to be taken due to the somewhat tight fit of the motherboard auxilary power which passes over the top of the card.

Lack of external power and running under the stock powersupply.

Value. For $89 you get a card that rocks. BioShock was a completely different game after the upgrade! (It's much easier when you can actually aim at something moving quickly!)

Cons: Several BSODs reporting memory errors and IRQ conflicts occured after purchase. Since then a new ATI driver set was released and I've had no crashes since.

Other Thoughts: The BSOD's may be from memory that I added to the system prior to upgrade or the ATI drivers. My experience has been drivers are good sometimes and bad sometimes with both NVidia and ATI. If the machine is stable over the next month, I would definitely call this 5 stars

Rating + 4 Deemed 9500GT Killed


Pros: I replaced a 7800GTO with this card and what a difference. Now I can play games like Crysis and this card runs very quiet too. I will be getting a 790GX chipset based MB with sideport memory, probably the 1GB MSI Platinum, so that I can Crossfire the onboard video with this video card giving me even more bang for the buck.

Cons: The one problem with ATI video cards is compatibility with monitors and KVM switches. This card runs well with my Samsung 245BW but doesn't work at all through my semi expensive 4 port USB/DVI Avocent KVM switch. This is not full fault of ATI as KVM's can be a problem as well but all of my NVIDIA cards work at least somewhat well.

Other Thoughts: In the past I have stayed away from ATI cards since ATI, before AMD took over, just botched their Catalyst drivers like v7.2. Since AMD stepped in they have done what AMD does so well and that is provide more power for MUCH less money and I'm impressed with Catalyst driver v9.1 much nicer then the old days, way to go AMD! Another reason I've gone this route is that I feel NVIDIA, who I have loved in the past is messing up their drivers and has gotten too expensive.

Rating + 5 Great card for its price


Pros: I'm very pleased with the performance this card gives for being a $100 card. The DDR3 VRam helps keep this card very power friendly, which is nice if you're looking to budget your system with a low to mid or aging PSU.

I can run almost all of last years games at max detail. There are a few exception like Crysis and GTA IV that still need something a little better for highest settings, but you can still get some amazing visual performance with this card.

Even with the low memory bandwidth, this card should be able to perform well on directX games for a year or two.

Cons: 128-bits is the slowest memory interface you'll find now-a-days. Casual users won't notice the difference, but hardcore gamers who expect to juice out highest settings in modern games will want a card with faster memory bandwidth.

Many other users were right, the fan gets distractingly noisey pretty often. Even with my Microsoft Live! headset (which does a good job muffling outside noise), I could hear the fan whirring at high RPM.

Other Thoughts: Windows Vista performance index scores:

DirectX performance - 5.7
Windows Aero Desktop - 5.9

As with most ATI cards; this card performs great up to a resolution of 1280x1024~ beyond that, and you'll start noticing significant performance hits the higher you go. As well, setting Anti aliasing beyond 2x seems to impact performance strongly as you get higher on ATI cards not running on Crossfire.

CCC still has issues on certain intel mobo systems, and Sapphire doesn't update thier drivers as often as AMD does, so you'll usually want to just run official drivers over sapphire drivers.

Rating + 4 Great card, low power requirements


Pros: The biggest two requirements for me when looking for a video card was that 1) it would do well with the latest games like COD4 and 2) it didn't require a lot of power since I have a Shuttle PC with only a 250W power supply. It took a lot of research and digging to figure out that the HD4670 was my best bet. I'm very happy with the performance of this card.

Cons: I have had a few crashes of the video subsystem in Vista and I'm not sure why it is happening.

Pros: great card over all reviewed it before but this time have some new info that brings my score for it way down
(read cons grrr)

Cons: the main con (and it is a con)even though these hi tech reviewers say it is compatible with the 4800 series in crossfire it is not if you think you are going to buy this card as a get me by card till I get my 4870 1gb card and run it in crossfire for that extra little boost without having to buy that over spendy power hungry ps to run it guess again this card will not work with your 4870 at all it is a tech lie sorry if you want to run crossfire later with a 4870 later don't buy this card that was my mistake I bought there tech bull pucky just face it you will have to get a 4800series card and you are going to have to get that 750watt ps to run crossfire what a waist this card has become:(

Other Thoughts: if you want to get a card for around the this price and runs crossfire with the 4870 get the 4830 it is a lot better then this card any way this card has only 28.8gb of memory bandwidth with 320s/p the 4830 has 57.6
and 640s/p and is about 10bucks more sadly you will still have to get that monstrosity of a power supply when you go crossfire with a 4870 so now I am so dp now still crossfire less with an extra card that I can't use and having to get a new ps and another card if I want a crossfire system still

Pros: This card is a good improvement for my 4 year old modest system. Installed easily, no direct connection to psu required. Downloaded latest drivers from ATI. Noticeable improvement over my old BFG 7600 GT 256mb card, so far have only played Gears of War with it, but able to go to higher resolution and definately better frame rate than previous card. The price of the card is excellant for the increased performance. Also the relatively small size of the card was a plus as it easily fit inside my mid sized tower.

Cons: So far none.

Homecoming... at least it doesn't run like a bag of ----

Pros: Great Card, Play's Crysis, C&C3, and everything else on high.. Quiet, unless you've been running it for more then 3 hrs on High, easy install no problems with the card what so ever..

Cons: having a few problems with the catalyst control center and my games having graphics problems and slow fps with it, but that's not the card's fault.. if i can find a way to go without the CCC and still have video under vista i would.. and i patched to CCC 8.12 and i had to disable a setting in order to allow my DVI output to send signal to my monitor..

Other Thoughts: Awesome card, although the CCC hates vista.. game comes out looking Horrible and frames are extremely low!! if you can don't install the Catalyst Control Center.. will help out 200%. I've tried it under XP and the thing just FLY'S!!!

All with high settings at playable frame rates. DMC4 and ET:QW are at high 60's with no problem.

Rating + 4 Great out-of-the-box graphics card


Pros: Price-performance ratio, quite fan, Crossfire ready, no need for direct power supply, stays very cool

Cons: High AF and AA settings caused jumpy frames in COD, doesn't include CrossFire bridge.

Other Thoughts: This is a great graphics card for the price. It takes up one slot and isn't overly bulky. The fan is ultra quite and keeps the card cool all around. Card comes with two HDMI's and is CrossFire ready. With my card/PC, setting Anti-Aliasing and Anisotropic-Filtering to high caused jumpy frames with COD. After setting it back to normal everything ran ultra smooth. Other reviews state high settings with zero frame lags but I found that to be not true. Graphics card is awesome with default settings. Card is ATI CrossfireX ready for quad-GPU support for those extreme enthusiasts. Box recommends a 400w power supply or greater for one GPU, 550w power supply for two. My PC has 6GB of RAM, Intel Q9550 Quad Core 2.83GHZ and one of these and it's still running cooler than a polar bear. Must buy for individuals seeking sleek visuals and graphics at a great price.

Rating + 5 Great Card for the Features/Price


Pros: -Microsoft DirectX 10.0 Ready!
-PCI Express 2.0 gives you twice the throughput than the standard x16 bus.
-55nm fabrication process:
Reduced physical card size. Can install in a huge array of cases.
Energy Efficient. This card is designed to preform on half the power of a standard mid/high range graphics card that required additional power support from a PSU, i.e. 4-6 pin power plug. Not needed with the HD4670. Runs just as fast as a standard card -4670- at half the power.
Card has good Over-Clock ability.
Much more features to list here. Pull it up and take a look for yourself. Oh, almost forgit...see below:

VISTA 64bit READY...
WINDOWS XP PRO 64bit READY!!
Plenty of driver support out there!

ATI CrossFireX READY! Pair two of these babies side by side in crossfire and watch you graphics fly! Trust me, it runs great! I love it!

Cons: This card has 1.0 GB of memory DDR3. Only issue is that it is scaled in 128.0 memory interface. My turn off some hard-core gamers.
Most mid-high end cards now have a standard of 256 or above.

By the way, if you set this card up in crossfire mode with another HD4670 with the same specs, and your DDR3 memory problem goes away. Thats a plus!

Sapphire did not ship the crossfire bridge for these cards in the package, kinda strange. Just picked some up and took care of it.

Other Thoughts: For the money you could not go wrong with this card. Sure, there are some outstanding cards out there that could blow this card away, but I would rather spend the three hundred plus dollars on somthing else. I play mostly flight simulators on my rig, Microsoft

Setup:
Windows XP Pro 64bit.
Asrock A780GXE/128M Mainboard.
AMD Athlon 64X2 @3.2GHz.
6 Gigs/Patriot 800mhz DDR2 memory (4-4-4-12)

Rating + 3 good performanc, lousy cooler


Pros: Good performance for my $. Reasonable power consumption. Didn't bankrupt me.

Cons: Cooler is junk, junk, junk! Winy little fan is loud and annoying. Also has a habit of frequently turning on and off again. It's the loudest thing in my system (roughly as loud as my dvd drive running at max speed, give or take a bit). Not happy that I have to shell out the cash for a new cooler for it.

Other Thoughts: Newegg is the bomb!

Rating + 5 Fantastic Card!


Pros: Small form factor, no additional power plug needed to function, and Full HD capabilities! Took less than 5 min to install. Overall, a great experience once again with Sapphire ATI products! I should have never went with Nvidia this past year...big mistake!

Cons: none, works the way it is expected to!

Other Thoughts: After 1 year of dealing with a mediocre 8600GTS I am so glad I went back to ATI! I should have known better then, but I wanted to give them a try. Big mistake! You just can't match ATI's video cards! They are the best! The deep colors, smooth textures, and richness is something Nvidia crucially lacks! I immediately noticed a huge difference when I tweaked the CCC settings! I'm always surprised by the quality of ATI products! Not to mention this card is 2 x better and cost 1/2 of what my old 8600GTS costs!

Mid-range setup for video and moderate gameplay:

Q6600
ASUS P5E-HDMI motherboard
4 GB G.Skill DDR2 800
ATI 4670
320GB WD HD
2 X Phillips DVD burner
600W Thermaltake PSU
Freezer Pro 7 Cooler

Pros: -cost, relatively cheap for a 1GB card
-GDDR3 memory
-integrated fan

Cons: -hard to fit into case (not really a con, it just wasn't fun cramming that in there)

Other Thoughts: the core speed is 750mhz. am i supposed to set the pci speed in my bios setting to that (default was 100mhz)?

Rating + 3 Its worth the price.


Pros: It's more of a card just to say you have 1 GB of a video card. It's not powerful in any way, but it keeps things working on the average.

Cons: Its low power... I wanted a power hungry monster. If you have the power supply (500watt or greater) get a card with the 6 pin plug in. I couldn't run Far Cry 2 in Direct X 10, very disappointing to me.

Other Thoughts: Its a good card for the price, not that fast though.

Rating + 5 Great Card!!! Great Price


Pros: Very good card for the price. Put in a new computer with a 300w power supply and I am very happy with the outcome. Also like the duel DVI cable support. I am currently only using one DVI cable and the video is amazing. This card runs all games flawlessly at high settings. I have used it for WoW, and Fallout 3 so far. Both high settings and both work very well. I also like the software that came with this card which makes overclocking very easy. The same software also lets me know how hot the card is running. While running games at high settings it's pretty cool at 50 degrees celcius. Normal it runs about 39. If you are looking for a great card this is the one for you

Cons: None whatsoever

Other Thoughts: My computer is a triple core AMD with 4gigs of ram, running vista so really 3gigs usuable. But this card works just fine with it. In fact I am very happy with the whole setup.

Rating + 5 AWESOME


Pros: This card performs VERY WELL. I have an Asus p5q-se plus mb, 2gb corsair ram, and a p4 overclocked to 4.1ghz. This card runs everything that i throw at it. For only $100 i can run Crysis, Fallout 3, Call of Duty 4 and 5, and Dead Space at complete max enthusiast settings. So far, the car has been outstanding, and i highly recommend the purchase of this card.

Cons: NONE!!

Other Thoughts: The card has software that comes with it that allows you to overclock the GPU easily, as well as adjust the fan speed.

Rating + 5 Sweet budget card


Pros: Bought this card as part of a budget game rig I built for a friend who couldn't spend much. Combined with an Athlon 64 X2 6000+ and 2GB of DDR2 800 this card performed much better than I had expected. He only games at 1024x768 (17" CRT yuck) so this card allowed him to MAX all settings on Call of Duty 4 and Call of Duty World at War with no hiccups. Not bad at all for a $100 video card. If he get a bigger monitor and goes up in res... well I think he'll have to back off on the FSAA settings.

Cons: None. No driver problems (used latest drivers from AMD's site).

Other Thoughts: It ran really cool in the setup I built. I put everything in an Antec ThreeHundred case. Added one case fan to the front of the case that blew right over the hard drive and video card. Temps I measured for this video card were 32c idle and 50c load.

Rating + 4 not bad not to shaby at all! lol


Pros: not bad for a single core graphics card I like the over drive for it and all the extra settings to play with it has just replaced my 7950gx2 so I could start my spider platform other but I plan on getting a better card soon with this to run crossfire great thing about ati is you can run it with any of the 4000 series in the same computer and it don't have to be the same model good by nvidia!!!! lol

Cons: it's not as good as my gx2 windows score went down from 5.9 to 5.7 for gaming graphics it is easy to tell that the graphics are not as good you can see they are more choppy less rounded and just not as smooth thinking I should put my gx2 back in till I get another ati card for crossfire

Other Thoughts: for the price and what it can do you just can't go wrong I know it don't seem like I gave a great review but I bought my gx2 when it was out for only 2months it is a high end card this card is not yet still runs like one I will be buying a 4850 2gb to run with this card next if not the x2 and maybe think about getting 4870x2 for the last card (3 way crossfire)

Rating + 5 Very good card


Pros: -Can run COD4 maxed out (4xAA, 1680x1050 resolution) with around 30 FPS. Turning off shadows and AA will increase the FPS to about 50-60, at same resolution.

-No need for an external power source, it draws all its power from the PCI-E slot.

-1 GB of memory.

Cons: -Stock Fan is loud, but it doesn't bother me all that much. It might for people planning to use it for a HTPC though. Reason for this is because fan runs at 100% all the time, and cannot be slowed (2-pin).

-Memory Interface is only 128 bit, but this isn't much of a con for this type of card. They had to cut the specs somewhere. :P

Other Thoughts: I bought this card because I have a weak PSU (300W), but needed the best card as possible, and this has served its purpose very well. I was a bit worried at first as this card is rated for a 400W, but it runs just fine with my 300W.

I have tried Crysis Warhead with this but it doesn't run it that great, though I think its my CPU that's holding me back.

System Specs:
CPU- Intel Pentium D (2.80 GHz)
RAM- 2 GB DDR2
GPU- Radeon 4670

Rating + 5 Very Good Graphic Card!


Pros: Very nicely put togather, the card looks very nice and looks of high quality. The specs on it are also very nice, the 1gb memory on here is amazing. Although the bit could be better. The fit was perfect, they did not make the card long which most of the time brings up the fitting issue. Instead they made the card very tall, which helps with the fitting and utilizies the upper space of the "box". This thing can run probably the top games with ease on full settings although i have not tested any out yet.

Cons: None yet, maybe better specs?

Rating + 4 Pretty Good


Pros: Well, like the other people said, this card can run every game on the market on medium setting or higher, it also doesn't need another power provider, so this makes it easy for new-comers to upgrading their PCs

Cons: At first I though it was kind of noisy, but because i was using a ATI X1650pro, which is pathetic now-a-days, but this thing is much more powerful so that little noise increase is worth it IMO...

Other Thoughts: I'm sure you'll like it!

Rating + 4 Great card for the price!


Pros: Possible to hook this card up to a TV/Monitor many different ways (composite, S-video, DVI, VGA, HDMI, Component) with the included adapters. Those adapters are expensive if sold separately.

This card has awesome performance and features for the price - as it can NOT BE BEATEN.

7.1 Audio via HDMI!

Cons: The fan can be rather loud, making this hard to recommended for anyone with a HTPC, or planning on building one.

These other cons don't really bother me, but it's worth throwing out if you are considering buying this card:

Debatable if having 1GB of ram over 512mb on this card is any better.

7.1 sound doesn't support the new HD Audio Codecs as far as I can tell.

HDMI requires the use of an adapter

Other Thoughts: I honestly don't play a lot of computer games, barely any to be honest, but what really sold me was the media features of this card, plus it has 1GB of video ram!

I bought this card to upgrade from the onboard HD3200 on my motherboard. A HD4350 or 4550 might have been better, since it isn't to hard to find a passive cooled variant, and the media features are more or less the same, but I if I was going to spend any $$$ on a new video card, I'd want something significantly faster, and thats why I purchased a HD4670. A shame about the fan being a bit loud.

Overall, a great card for the price!

Pros: Works in low-voltage systems.
Low price.

Cons: The plastic seal on top of the box was messed up and barely attached, as if the box had been opened. Doesn't look like anything is missing though.

Other Thoughts: Glad I waited. Last year I was going to buy a Nvidia 8600 or 8800, whichever would work in my 5-6 y/o system. However I went thru a period where I wasn't playing games anyway so I held off. Again, GLAD I WAITED!

Rating + 5 Great Card for the money


Pros: Plays all the latest games:
Left 4 Dead Demo
FarCry 2
COD 5 world at war
007 QoS

at max(1280x1024) with an older 1280x1024 lcd monitor.

A single slot card, no external power needed. Perfect for the border line PSU and PC. Allows you to play the latest games beautifully at the lower res, and playable at the higher(1600x1200) with some stuff turned down.

Cons: A little confusion about the GDDR3 vs DDR3 is out there in the forums. While the box is labeled DDR3, everywhere else, including here, the specs are listed at GDDR3.

Other Thoughts: Would recommend this to anyone who is lacking a fx card to play the latest games, but has a workable CPU and power supply.

Rating + 5 Crushing nVidia


Pros: This card is the best bang for your video buck. Period. I bought this exact card a few days ago elsewhere and I love it so much that I am building a system around it and another one in Crossfire configuration. I OCd the card to its max settings in the provided control panel with no problems. I ran Bioshock with all of the settings maxed out @ 1920x1200 on my Samsung 24 inch monitor and it ran GREAT! No lag at all. The Witcher runs great up to 1680x1050 and x2 AA. Tomb Raider - Underworld (demo) is stunning with the settings this card let me use.
This card absolutely carRUSHed the 512MB nVidia 8500gt that I now use to warm poptarts.

Cons: If the bandwidth on this thing weren't 128 bit...
But the card is under $100!

Other Thoughts: The system I installed the 4670 on is an AMD 5000+ dual core running @ 2.6ghz with 3GB DDR2 533 RAM.
I can't wait to see what I get from the new Mobo, AMD 9950 Quad and 4GB of 1066 DDR2 RAM!
