Introduction
It seems that all the talk these days when it comes to video cards is about GTX280 and 4870x2. Granted these are the biggest baddest graphic cards on the market. But they also carry the biggest price tags on the market when it comes to consumer range cards. Many if not all of us would want to be able to afford to dish out the kind of money it takes to own one of these beasts. But many of us aren't able to open up our wallets and count out $500 for our gaming pressure. Even the cards right under these are too much for many of us. The GT260 and 4870 are better bang for the buck compared to the bigger brothers but the means may not be there to own one still. Today we may have the answer to your cash flow neglected pocket books.
Our wonderful friends at Sapphire were more than generous to us but not sending just one of their newest cards but two. The HD4670 is built around the RV730 which has a few favorable advantages over the RV770 (4870 and X2). Yes, we know that speed isn't one of those advantages but for less than $100 what would you expect. Less power consumption, less money and heat build up are a few things that will win many of us over.
