AMD Radeon HD 6670 And 6570: Turkeys Or Turkish Delights?
Features
published
Based on the new Turks GPU, AMD’s Radeon HD 6570 and 6670 graphics cards are poised to hit the $80-$100 market. Do these products have what it takes to compete in this fiercely competitive segment, or are AMD's subtle evolutionary changes too small?
Benchmark Results: Crysis 2
The full version of Crysis 2 proves to be much friendlier to AMD's cards than the multiplayer demo we used in our preview benchmark article:
The Radeon HD 6670 performs surprisingly similarly to Nvidia's GeForce GTS 450 here, and the 5670 and 6570 are also close to the GeForce GT 240 GDDR5. The Radeon HD 5570 brings up the rear.

jenkem price aside, i'm rather impressed with the 6670. sure the 5750 and gts 450 are more powerful, but nvidia's card just looks ridiculous in the power draw graph. being the fastest card without a pci-e connector is more than just a title, the 6670 will become the new go-to card for people with dells, hps, and ect looking to upgrade to discrete graphics(like the 4670 and 5670 before it).Reply
also, a 5670 can be found on newegg for $73 before rebate. -
4745454b With $99 after MIR 5770s on newegg, the GTS450, 5750, and 6670 are all to expensive. I am most impressed that AMD has got this level of performance out ofReply -
Nintendork The card has great overclock:Reply
960Mhz+ / 5000+Mhz for the memory. A 21% increase in games (tpu review). -
fatkid35 i used to play cod4 with a 3.0 ghz dual core and a radeon 4650 @ 1400x900 with good frame rates. and the whole pc only had a draw of 135 watts at the wall. this new 6670 is a kick @ss low power solution for most wanting to game on the semi cheap. kinda want one for my back up pc now.Reply -
enzo matrix For $80, how can you beat a card that can overclock to 6670 speeds easily? And perform identically due to the same specs otherwise?Reply -
jestersage great review!Reply
just wondering why we used a 1200w psu when most systems use only 10% of its capacity... i believe the power draw graphs are skewed due to lower efficiency at that load. -

Its just standard practise to overkill all other components to make sure they don't cause weird results. Besides the absolute draw isn't important its how the cards compare with each other.
