How well can a AMD Radeon HD 6670 run games?

[pakisunny360]

Ok if you goto youtube you can see many people playing games like BF3 at medium to ultra settings with a 6670. like the one below

How legitimate are these videos?

or this one where the resolution is the same as mine and the same cpu.

Are the videos above a lie or something? From the above I can see a 6670 running games of fall 2012 on medium pretty well.

You can look through several games and resolutions here http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/AMD/HD_6670/
More of newer games here where the card is used as comparison http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/ASUS/HD_7750/8.html

Resolution is somewhat a key factor in games as well as antialiasing and graphics settings.

At 1920x1080 at the lowest settings:

At 1280x1024 at medium settings:

No, it's quite possible also, the card is DirectX11 compatible, so it it makes games a lot more pretty to look at despite low settings.

Hope this info helps

I have to agree with both post above. But the real question is for the fucture what do you think in about 3 years where the games are going to be at and which cards will work with them? Just food for thought. And Good luck with your card.

 

[pakisunny360]

Hmmm damn hard to make a decision.

7750($110) or 6670($60)

Both have good performance for the money but you will be happier after spending the $110!

I am not worrying about 3 years here.

I plan to upgrade my current or rather even buy a new pc in 1 year or next summer. I just want the current to last till next summer. Keep in mind if I buy a 7750 then my budget was $400 total with windows. With a 6670 my budget will be $360.

Well look at this one and then make up your mined and good luck.

6670 vs 7750

lol, yea that's toughie. But, 7750 has quite a frame rate increase.

 

[inanition02]

If you're going to be playing the newest games, I'd go to the 7750 (or higher if you can afford).

Next summer you are going to be even happier moving the HD7750 over to your new build.

 

[inanition02]

Better question perhaps - what are you upgrading FROM?

I am literally on the verge of selling my xbox since I won't be using it anymore considering I get the 7750.

 

[pakisunny360]

Better question perhaps - what are you upgrading FROM?

Intel HD 2000, which is utter crap./ It is inside my cpu I think. I have an i3 2120 right now.

 

[rolli59]

Either one is a massive upgrade then.

 

[inanition02]

Either one would be a MASSIVE upgrade from the integrated graphics in an i3. I have an i3 2100 paired with a 6570 in my HTPC (best low profile card I could find at the time) and it can play many games decently well.

You said you intend on upgrading the PC entirely in a year?

 

[DM186]

Agreed with the above statement and your i3 is a nice CPU. It is better than mine in my dell. I have a i3 540 and it does all right but yours is a lot better and it will handle that card without any problems.

No idea how I will upgrade my pc in a year or rather what I will upgrade the whole pc or just parts. I shall deal with that next summer.

I never planned to play any games with the intel hd 2000. I bought the new pc 2 days ago. I have everything but the gpu.

If you can spend the money on the 7750 I would but the 6670 for $60 is still well worth it.

 

[steelviper]

i have a 4870x2 and can run BF3 on high so you should have no problems with either one

IT seems that dishing out the $110 would be better off considering I expect to play games of fall 2012.

So how would that powerful a card compare to these cards we are discussing? http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-card-review,3107-7.html

Rolli I love you right now. I ended up buying a 7750 and I am ******* loving it. I am playing amnesia which I couldn't play before.


I am playing just cause 2 demo version as I plan to buy the game this steam sale.

The screenshot don't do the ingame graphics justice. In game they are so crispy and bloomy. I don't know my fps but not a single hiccup sp far with EVERYTHING TURNED UP. In one of the screenshots you can see auto settings where my jaw dropped.
