GIGABYTE Radeon HD 4670 DirectX 10.1 GV-R467ZL-1GI 1GB 128-Bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card

Pros: I'm using a fresh install of Ubuntu Jaunty 64 on one hd and Windows 7 RC on another and it works great with both systems. ATI cards are always a pia to set up with Linux but not impossible. I wanted to be able to use HDMI for sound and video with my Biostar TF720 A2+ rig and both are working beautifully. WIth Ubuntu make sure that you have the latest Flash Player in Package Manager and the ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver. You also have to install Alsa mixer and edit the pulseaudio config file. I can watch Hulu at high res and there's no flicker even with Visual Effects set on High (Compiz).

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Super quiet, HDMI out, 1GB RAM, low power and temps. Performance appears to be between my 3850 and 3870 cards. It comes with a Zalman VF700-AlCu cooler. Perfect for HTPC use with my Samsung LCD TV. I had trouble trying to use a previous Jaunty 64 installation - no video. I should mention that I was using an nVidia card and uninstalled the driver before switching to the new ATI card but after the no video problem I wound up doing a fresh install.

Pros: Well what can I say, it's a great price. Runs really well, and OCs pretty nicely, not to mention plays all my games very well too. Great card for maxing out older games for running at high resolutions like BF2, FEAR, etc with max settings and AA, yet still powerful enough for running newer stuff quite nicely. Crysis runs great at 1440 x 900 DX9 high settings in XP. The 1 GB framebuffer is a bit overkill in size, but hey, you don't have to worry about running out of VRAM anytime soon. The integrated HDMI is great for using on an HDTV like I currently do since you can get picture and sound in one simple solution. Highly efficient card with great performance/power usage ratio. No direct power connection to the PSU needed.

Cons: This card's memory, being DDR3 is clocked slower than the GDDR3 4670 cards out there, though I must note that ATi officially specified that 1 GB 4670s be DDR3 and 512 MB 4670s to be GDDR3 (power consumption issue?). You can confidently OC the memory another 100 MHz to 900 MHz and get a huge boost in performance since the card is somewhat bandwidth starved on the 128 bit memory interface. The core can stand another 50 MHz too. I went from a 6800 Mark 3DMark06 score to 8100 Marks just by doing those two overclocks. Your games will benefit highly in most cases. A slot cooler would've been probably better for OCing, and the large exposed fan does take up a bit of room in a case, especially when the cables are unorganized like in my PC :P Had issues getting sound initially through the HDMI. If you are doing that, then avoid installing mobo sound drivers, and only install the ATi HDMI Audio driver. Don't know if you can route sound from a ded. card through the graphics card HDMI.

Overall Review: Once you tweak it properly, it just gets even better. Most games run just as you'd expect, though I must note that Lost Planet in DX9 (I don't have Vista on my desktop to try it out in DX10) doesn't work out too well unless you drop the resolution to 720p and kill the AA. It's so far the only bad experience with the card as far as expected gaming performance goes, most notably during high motion blur scenes (LP is probably coded to love Nvidia hardware :P). Main initial goal with this card was to run BF2 at 1080p, 8xAA, maxed out running at 60 Hz with no slowdown. Safe to say, it does it quite famously for a sub $80 video card. Insanely great card for a cheap "low to medium end" gaming machine yet still runs newer stuff like a charm. My system: AMD Athlon II 250 OCed @ 3.6 GHz Gigabyte ATi Radeon 4670 1 GB DDR3 G.

Pros: A lot of performance for the money. 1 GB DDR3 RAM WEI score of 5.7 Unlike a previous poster, I am getting 1920x1200 resolution from the VGA connector; however, the connection on the monitor side is DVI. This is a temporary connection as my DVI to DVI cable is currently used to connect a different computer to the same monitor. Doesn't need a PCI-E power connection from PSU. Quiet Zalman fan.

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: I'd buy another with no hesitation if I needed an additional video card.

Pros: I bought this card for my HTPC setup, primarily because of it's HDMI output connection. I plugged the system into my TV and it worked right out of the box (needs drivers for higher resolutions).

Cons: None.

Overall Review: I was worried that since it's a video card there would be no audio output over HDMI, but the drivers with the card take care of routing your systems sound onto the HDMI connection.

Pros: Quiet, low Power, Zalman heatsink, 4670.

Cons: None

Overall Review: After installing this card from a previous 4670 card my computer went from sounding like an annoying vacuum to a the sound of silince.

Pros: Great card, and quite an improvement over my Onboard NVidea graphics. I had a 3.2 on the Windows Experience Index before, and now I have a 6.7 in the Graphics, and Gaming Graphics categories in Windows 7 Home Premium x64. I've noticed some vast improvements with several different programs on my computer. In the end, great card, good price, and exactly what I needed.

Cons: Could be a bit difficult for someone who doesn't know much about computers. Couldn't get the HDMI to work going out to my 42" tv for the first week, but I ended up swapping ends on the HDMI cord, and it somehow fixed the issue. Not sure what was up, but not this products fault.

Overall Review: Well, my thoughts are, if you want a pretty good card, and want to stay within a good price range, but also have a good amount of features, this would most likely be a good card for you. I'm glad I got it.

Pros: Great price to performance ratio Doesn't require a special power adapter or large power supply Works great as an upgrade to many pre-built systems(i.e. Dell)

Cons: Not the fastest card out there, but gets the job done in most of the Major PC gaming titles.

Overall Review: Bought this for my brother who had a Dell and after a bit of research I found out that this model didn't have a PSU that would be able to handle most respectable after-market video cards. Found this baby and he was able to install it himself on a Windows 7 system and everything was setup with no hassle. Great buy for upgrading an existing system!

Pros: Quite good framerate for a midrange card, while brand new games will stutter with this card, anything a year or older will be smooth as butter probably. COD2/4/5,etc Left4Dead, Mount&Blade, HL2, MOH:Airborne and others I've tried all work 40-60+fps in directx9 mode, even at my 1600x900 resolution. Its quiet compared to other cards I've seen, much much quieter and less power hungry than its nvidia equivelent the gso9600. This card only needs 75watts so no extra power cable connection required, which usually means that you don't need a new power supply unless you're less than 350w.

Cons: None really, you can't play Crysis or COD:MW2 on very high settings unless using a lower resolution or medium-ish settings, but thats to be expected for a sub-$100 card.

Overall Review: It has an excellent third-party Zalman double-ball bearing fan with copper/aluminum heatsink that is wholly superior to most stock factory fans that many cards, especially the cheaper nvidia ones usually come with (which are typically as loud as a jet engine) This one is reasonable volume even under prolonged gaming load, and I've yet to see it get above 48C temp, typical idle temp is around 33C, light load temp around 38-40C in my mid-tower with a single 3000rpm evercool case fan. So heat should not be an issue with this card.
