Our sample of the Radeon HD 6670 was supplied directly from AMD so there wasn't any packaging or bundle included. The HD 6670 features 1 GB of GDDR5 memory.
It doesn't require any auxiliary power connectors as it draws all the power it needs from the PCI Express slot on the motherboard. There are three display outputs on the back; VGA, DVI and DisplayPort which can all be used simultaneously for Eyefinity setups.
The HD 6670 is supplied with a small cooler but this should be more than enough to deal with the modest thermal footprint. It will occupy two expansion slots however, but we expect that a number of partners will release single slot versions.
GPU-Z gives us an overview of the 40 nm ‘Caicos' HD 6670 which has a core clock of 800 MHz and the GDDR5 at 1000 MHz (4000 MHz effective) across a 64-bit memory interface. We are using an updated beta version of Catalyst 11.4.
Seems like a decent card, but the competition I think is high, especially as sapphire have dropped the price of the 5 series cards recently.
quite unexciting, and the passive card would be more appealing especially for this target demographic. Wonder if they will lower the clocks for the passive version however
I agree, passive version would be a good option, media guys like myself dont want a fan, will keep my eyes posted to see any deals over coming months.
I am sorry, but there are just too many video cards out now, AMD need to start streamlining their range. a joe punter in the street hasnt a clue whats going on
I agree, I follow the industry weekly and even I find it hard to follow. a guy walking into a store now wouldnt have a clue.
These cards don’t really excite me. I think with the 5830 getting such a price drop it makes more sense to opt for it, even if it is last generation. its generally more capable, but then it was meant to be a 200 quid card.
This would make a very good media card, but the price is too high, the 6450 makes more sense and will do to many people.
It looks ok, performance isn’t bad, but there are better alternatives in the market I think. £80-85 is a bit high priced
This card is going to be a massive hit with people who got weak PSU’s. People keep saying that the GTS450 only costs $15 more, but if you are running on a weak PSU, you need to make an investment of $115 for the card + $50+ for a decent PSU, meaning you have to spend ~$165 for the upgrade. Buy this, pop it straight in, problem solved. You save ~40% and only give up ~20% performance. Sounds like a WIN.
