It is four days till AMD releases their new Radeon HD 7970 graphics card on annual CES gadget-fest in Las Vegas. But AMD has prepared another card even before the event.
If you remember Radeon HD 6670 graphics card, then you should probably stop reading this post at this point. AMD has rebranded HD 6670 to HD 7670, making it the same graphics card, with no changes, beside releasing it only to OEMs. Radeon HD 7670 will be mounted in HP desktops.
Radeon HD 7670 features 480 stream processors, 24 texture and 8 raster operating units. Card has 128 bit bus width for GDDR5 memory with a capacity of 0.5 or 1GB. GPU is clocked at 800 MHz and 4000 MHz for memory.
Radeon HD 7670 Features
Unrivalled: Use AMD App Acceleration to harness the power of your GPU to accelerate and enhance your multimedia content, as well as your everyday applications
Expanded: With AMD Eyefinity multi-monitor display technology expand your games and applications to create the ultimate visual workspace
Perfected: Improve your gaming performance and experience vivid detail, and life like worlds using AMD Radeon™ HD 7670 GPU with full DirectX® 11 support
Radeon HD 7670 Requirements
System Specifications for AMD Radeon™ 7670 GPU:
- PCI Express® based PC is required with one X16 lane graphics slot available on the motherboard
- 400 Watt or greater power supply recommended (500 Watt for AMD CrossFire™ technology in dual mode)
- Certified power supplies are recommended. Refer to http://support.amd.com/us/certified/power-supplies/Pages/listing.aspx for a list of Certified products
- Minimum 1GB of system memory
