I recommend you do not buy the Radeon HD 6670 DDR3 graphics card. Sure it is cheap at $50. But it is also slow. It only has about 76% of the performance of the Radeon HD 6670 DDR5. That means it's performance is slower than the previous generation Radeon HD 5670 and only as powerful as the Radeon HD 8670D which is the integrated graphics core in AMD's A10-6800k APU.

This is the Radeon HD 6670 DDR5 and it costs $70 after rebate. It costs 40% more than the Radeon HD 6670 DDR3 and the performance is about 32% better than the DDR3 version. Or as I stated before the DDR3 version only has about 76% the performance of the DDR5 version.

However, my real recommendation is the following Radeon HD 7750 DDR5 for $70 after rebate. It's performance is equal to the Radeon HD 6770 (it is actually a re-named HD 5770) which is about 43% more powerful than the Radoen HD 6670 DDR5. The Radeon HD 7750 DDR5 cost 40% more than the Radeon HD 6670 DDR3 card you selected. However, the Radeon HD 7750 DDR5 is on average 88% more powerful than it as well.

Below is a relative performance chart for various resolution ranging between 1024x768 up to 2560x1600 (which the card is too weak for). The link to the review which I suggest you at least look through just for the benchmark results. The test rig uses a quad core Intel Core i7 920 @ 3.8 GHz so you are not going to get the same results.

Review: http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/ASUS/HD_7750/1.html

In this particular review the Asus Radeon HD 7750 is used at the baseline benchmark (100%) so any cards slower than it will be less than 100% and any faster card will be greater than 100%. The AMD reference Radeon HD 7750 has 99% of the Asus's performance. The Radeon HD 6670 DDR5 is rated as having 69% the performance of the Radeon HD 7750. The Radeon HD 6670 DDR3 is not listed. However, it's performance is basically halfway between the Radeon HD 5670 (52%) and the HD 5570 (45%). Therefore, let's say the HD 6670 DDR3 has 49% percent the performance of the HD 7750 DDR5.

Based on this chart the Radeon HD 7750 is 104% faster than the Radeon HD 6670 DDR3 which is greater than the 88% I stated in my previous post.

UPDATE:

I found a cheaper Radeon HD 7750 DDR5 card while I was helping someone else. This is an XFX brand selling for $65 after rebate. Not only is it cheaper, the heat is also exhausted out the back of the card rather than dumped into the case like the Power Color version I recommended. There's nothing wrong with having the heat dumped into the case (unless your PC is already overheating), but why dump the heat if you can exhaust it; especially if it costs less.

XFX Radeon HD 7750 DDR5 = $65 after rebate

You pay 30% more for 104% better performance.

I'm just a little bit curious why this chart says the 5970 is faster than the 7950.
