haha, thanks.
i posted a few days ago about a video card, didn't know about the 4670 at the time and was about to buy a 3650...then i stumbled upon all the reviews of the 4670.
my only question is....is it safe to run on my current system since it only has a 300W power supply?
just 3gb of ram and an E6420 @ 2.13 ghz, not alot but im a little worried about power usage.

I think the power necessary for the 4670 and 3650 are quite similar. If you're really concerned, look at the 4650.

You should be fine on power - that card needs under 75W full load.

Power won't be a problem with the 4670. If you do get a beefier card though, I'd definitely recommend getting a more powerful power supply.

The 4670 performs fairly closely to the HD 3850, so definitely get it if you can!

You will be fine it takes all its power from the PCIE slot and from reviews i have seen it dosent even use all of that.
