ATI HD 4670 REVIEW

[Maziar]

Take a look:
http://www.hothardware.com/Articles/ATI-Radeon-HD-4670-Redefining-The-Mainstream/?page=11

The ATI Radeon HD 4670 proved to be an excellent performer, especially considering its low-power operation and affordable price. In our synthetic 3DMark06 and 3DMark Vantage benchmarks, the Radeon HD 4670 trailed cards like the Radeon HD 3850 and GeForce 9600 GT/GSO, but handily outperformed the ATI Radeon HD 3650 and GeForce 9500 GT. However, in our actual in-game tests, which use anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering, the Radeon HD 4670 was able to outpace the Radeon HD 3850 and GeForce 9600 GSO more often than not and finished close behind the more expensive GeForce 9600 GT.

Hardcore PWNAGE!

For 80 bucks you something thats faster than an 3850 most of the time pretty sweet!

Nice, though I do wish the guru article included the 3850. From what I saw, aside from the occasional game, the 4670 can hold its own against the 9600GT. Its better then the 9600GT however seeing as its not only cheaper, but doesn't need the 6pin PCIe connector. For $80, AMD has given us one heck of a card.

 

[JAYDEEJOHN]

The LE addition looks promising as well. 480 shaders, not sure about clocks and tmus, but its said itll put the 9800GT to bed

With that power draw - the 4670 would make an AMAZING laptop GPU

Well from what i have seen this card seems extreemly bandwidth sensitive. Maybe some of you guys can tell me if my thinking is correct. I have seen a few reviews now and the main differance between those that rate the 4670 either behind or in front of a 3850 most of the time is the motherboard. When tested on a P45 it is just behind but when using a X48 board it seems to win most of the time. Would i be correct then in saying that this indicates a bandwidth dependancy on the part of the 4670 ?

@Maziar, No i just meant you got the other review in before my explanation

I basically agree with 4745454b.

Looks absolutely excellent. Seems as though I found something to replace my X850XT with, and crank up the details!!! And AA and AF... never used those before. Now, where can I find one.

I hope this bad boys goes to lappys real soon.

having to choose between a Intel/8600/3650 on the medium class lappys, this is a good lappy candidate.
Low power envelope, low cost and decent performance.

 

[Maziar]

Yup it will be good for laptops IF they dont change the specs of it for the laptop version though.

Not to threadjack but i heard you guys had an earthquake there was it bad?

 

[Maziar]

It wasnt in Tehran one was in tabriz for about 3 weeks ago and the second one was today in the south and fortunately no one was hurt

 

[xx12amanxx]

I live in CA in the united states and we get big earthquakes here too becuase of the san andreas fault line! Never knew you guys got em too! Glad no one got hurt they can be pretty scary.

 

[Maziar]

thanks

 

[jamesgoddard]

You can get them anywhere - in the UK we live 1000 miles from the closest fault - but still got a 5.5 quake the other month...

OK not in the big league - but can happen anywhere...

 

[jamesgoddard]

Would the 4670 be faster then the x1950 pro?

 

[Dekasav]

HD 4670 is looking to be on par with the HD3850 from what I've seen. Should be significantly above the HD2600's, HD 3600's, and anything before HD's (X800's & X850's, X1950's).

 

[Maziar]

In most cases it outperforms the HD 3850 especially with AA
