Sapphire Radeon HD 4670 Review @ BenchmarkReviews
So you want to be a rock star huh? Well just like the Stones say, you can’t always get what you want. Some of us realize we are just normal people and must settle for our daily mundane tasks and push on day after day. The same holds true for computer graphics cards, or does it? Today Benchmark Reviews will look at a mainstream card with a bit of an identity problem: The Sapphire Radeon HD4670 GDDR4 graphics card.
This little guy thinks its a rock star! Maybe it thinks that “6″ in it’s name is an “8″? It does have 512mb of GDDR4 RAM. Well, I’m positive this card is no HD4870 but that hasn’t stopped this little fella from rockin’! Let’s see if the Sapphire 100255DDR4 has what it takes to be a real star.
The ATi HD4670 has been around for some months now, but until recently only available with GDDR3 memory. The addition of GDDR4 is not a game maker or breaker but should result in the very least a measurable boost of performance over its GDDR3 brethren.
The HD4670 does have a similar core with its bigger brothers the 48xx series cards and even with only 320 stream processors should do fairly well for gamers on a budget.
