Budget gaming
Pros: 1gig on board. 2 DVI connectors. doesn't need additional power! for me it was a huge upgrade for a reasonable price. plays all my games at a decent level.
Cons: if your like me and constantly installing different OS's you may have some problems with the video until you install the designed driver. so i advise you have on board video that works just in case!
Other Thoughts: Bought it on sale at Best Buy a couple months ago while picking up Wotlk.

Excellent card for the money!
Pros: This card is great for gamers on a budget. The cost isn't too steep, the card looks pretty decent (hey, I have a clear case panel and guts on display so that matters!), and it installs really easily. Has its own fan, runs cool and quiet. The Catalyst software makes OC'ing a snap. I was able to OC mine to 800mhz with memory clock at 950mhz (both sliders maxed out) and it still runs steady. Maxes out WoW, plays on gorgeously high settings for Crysis and Call of Duty 4.
Cons: Not really a con for me, but I've heard some people say things about the Crossfire connectivity being an issue. Honestly, not too many games really benefit from Crossfire anyway...if you have a good processor and this card, you probably won't need it.
Other Thoughts: System: Antec 900 case + Asus P5K Pro mobo + Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 CPU + 2 GB PNY RAM + WD 500GB HDD.

Sweet deal
Pros: Super easy install. No extra power needed and a great boost from onboard video. Running WoW at full settings.
Cons: The box outlines the CrossFire capabilities, but there is absolutely no way it could! There are no crossfire cable connectors and it isn't a card that requires dedicated power, which all SLI/CrossFire cards do.
Other Thoughts: Works perfectly in my Compaq Presario SR5710Y with a PCI-E 1.0 slot.

Pros: 1GB, Cheap, no extra cables to plug into the motherboard or power supply making for easy installation, doesn't run hot. Runs around 40-44*C when not playing a game or movie
Cons: 128-bit
Other Thoughts: Definite improvement over my last card which was a 256MB and 128-bit (that had no fan) ran at 80-85*C when not playing a game or movie.

Da Big (Affordable) Gig
Pros: There are five 1 GB HD4670 cards at Newegg; this is the only one that also has a major presence in the North American retail channel (BB also carries this card). Also, it does NOT require a separate power connector (it draws power directly from the PCIe slot), making it suitable for even the weaker single-core systems (as long as the PSU cuts the ketchup). Works in most older non-PCIe 2.0 motherboards, too.
Cons: The price is being encroached on by the 512 MB HD4850, which is 256-bit, unlike the 128-bit HD4670; also, a 1 GB HD4850 has launched. Also, 1 GB is overkill for any x86 version of Windows.
Other Thoughts: The large RAM amount (and that it's all GDDR3) make the HD4670 (especially with the Big Gig) a cheap alternative to the HD4850 when paired up with dual-cores and bargain quads and Vista Ultimate x64; however, the oversized RAM footprint makes it a non-starter with x86 versions of Vista or XP

Surprisingly Powerful
Pros: Let's see...used this card to replace 8800 GTS 640MB. Had questions about whether it could perform as well. Questions answered. This card really surprised me. I ran flight sim X on same settings as with 8800 GTS with no noticeable differences in performance.
Cons: Doesn't run quietly...but not that much of an annoyance.
Other Thoughts: For the price...BUY 2. This really is a gem. 1GB DDR3 + 320 stream processors makes this card hard to pass up at under $120.
