#998 - HIS HD 4670 512MB GDDR3 Turbo Video Card Video Review

[hypersteven101]

MINE HAS HDMI!!!

[GeForceCountry]

Can someone help me? Please, i really need help here.

Im using the EAH 4670 similar to any HD 4670 GPU, but when I play games such as Modern Warfare, Modern Warfare 2, Warcraft III, Need for Speed, the FPS never get above 15 and very lag, same with lowest graphic possible. Anyone help me please...

P/S: Even a flash game like Millionaire City in facebook, its still lagging in low quality.

:(

[PCgamer29388]

@GeForceCountry What CPU do you have?

[GeForceCountry]

@PCgamer29388 Dual Core E2140

[PCgamer29388]

@GeForceCountry i would think that you got a faulty card, was thinking that your CPU might have been the case if ti was an old CPU.

[GeForceCountry]

@PCgamer29388 mine desktop is Acer Aspire M1600 bought on 2006

[Xxx0zkrxxX]

what is the difference between ddr3 and gddr3???

which is better hd 4670 ddr3 or hd 4670 gddr3???

ANSWER ME PLEASE

[mukslipknot]

@Xxx0zkrxxX

their the same thing, its just a typo.

[BetaOverclocking]

@mukslipknot Wrong. The difference is that the DDR3 model is using just standard DDR3 memory that you would use as RAM. GDDR3 is purpose made for Video cards. It means higher clock speeds and bandwidth.

[mukslipknot]

@BetaOverclocking

well im guessing by his comment that he was looking at a video card somewhere, and noticed it said 4670 DDR3, and saw one that said 4670 GDDR3. but you paradoxed your own response. if GDDR is used on video cards, then when a packaging says DDR, would it not be the same as GDDR? is it not just a typo?

[anguslf2]

My asus eah4670 512MB with 750MHZ/2008MHZ CAN overclock to 900MHZ/2800MHZ

[ShadowKnight642]

can i use this to play GTA IV on windows 7?

[Pray4Lifedotcom]

@ShadowKnight642 yea man

[BetaOverclocking]

@ShadowKnight642 Yes, but you'll need a Quad Core CPU or else the game runs slow.

[GothN00b]

I need a 1-slot cool graphics card ; any suggestions ?

[joshodst]

piece of crap!!!!xD

[JoshBJan94]

@joshodst vid is from 2008 lol

[joshodst]

@JoshBJan94 still,it is no? lol,i cant wait to get my 350 $ video card

[BetaOverclocking]

@joshodst This 'piece of crap' can still run every single new game out now over 30FPS @ 1920x1080 on medium-high.

[joshodst]

@BetaOverclocking no,no,no 60 fps MINIMUM!

what is this?the xbox 360!in two years im getting a new gaming machine with 3 graphics cards!!!but wait,in 2 years won't they have the capacity for 6 graphics cards,will gaming pc's have more then 4 core's? my AMD is letting me down a bit,but i still get 60 fps for fallout new vegas but with v-sync

[HeadouCompany]

@BetaOverclocking metro at medium 1920x1080 at 3Fps ? xD

[receptor1974]

конченая видяха

[kendel1224]

hmmm,...

does anyone have any idea what games and performance i can get with the specs below?

Phenom II x4 945 @ 3.0ghz 512mb*4 8mb L3

Powercolor Ati Radeon HD4670 1gb

450w PSU True-rated branded

Kingston KVR 2gb DDR3 1333mhz?

i'm planning on buying these parts 2 days from now... needs expert's opinion please!

do i need to overclock? i dont like OC-ing coz i dont know how to i might destroy it! hehe...

Thanks!

[XboxKittyProductions]

I'm getting the 1GB version . . .

[Xxx0zkrxxX]

is truth that the hd 4670 iceq 521mb is better than the hd 4670 iceq 1 gb???

[Zolega89]

asrock g31m-s

Pentium Dual core 6500 2.93ghz

3gb ddr2 ram 800mhz

Can someone tell me a videocard that will support this system and good for gaming?

i wonna repleace my gt220

[chone06]

lixo ati e lixo. = ATI trash

[234jari234]

The 240GT from Nvidia outperforms th HD 4670 with his GDDR3 memory but now the new one has GDDR5 so the 240GT is ALMOST even to two 4670's!

[Kase941]

Can i run this on a 400Watt then?

[robertkrosl]

@Kase941 yep.

[XboxKittyProductions]

@robertkrosl

thats not true. 1GB verision does better in HD than the 512MB.

[gordyjordy123]

got his card for £55 and adapter and all leads getting another to go crossfire can anyone recommend this or is it a waste of money two 4670 turbo iceq and phenom 965 x4 3.4ghz and 4gb cosair 1333mhz 2x2gb and falman flower led cpu cooler

[silenceyouidiot]

@gordyjordy123 2 4670's will give you the same performance of a 4850/70 which costs around the 100-170$ range. A 4850 is a better deal if you want great gaming, the 4670 was made to work on prebuilts and low end systems with power supplies that are under 350watts or don't have pci-e connectors.

[tremer88]

my fan went out after a year, i ghetto rigged the stock heatsink with a 80mm fan

[AtgreatR9]

great card run all new games almost max see my vids

[HeadouCompany]

@AtgreatR9 only kids playing at 1024x768

[AtgreatR9]

@HeadouCompany this is 1 year old comment.. and i played in 1280:720 and 1920:1080..

[APiceOfPie]

will the 4670 play rts game with mid-high graphics ?

[gusnhde93]

pixel fillrate can't be 12.5GPixels/s because rops are 8 not 16 ;)

[BetaOverclocking]

Everyone read this, I've looked around Youtube and there is no video of the HD4670 of the kind I'm going to make.

I have ordered THREE HD4670's and the ASUS P5Q Deluxe. I shall be running benchmarks with the HD4670 in CrossfireX and Triple Crossfire.

The stuff will arrive in January because of christmas post. So check out my videos then. Subscribe if you wish =]

[gigabyts1]

bro ill be waiting for that ^_^

[95928225]

@BetaOverclocking Im getting one too this january 15th but the iceq model .I hope I can play games at 1366x768 with 30 fps or more.

[BetaOverclocking]

Short run down on games I play, at 1440x900..

Dirt 2 - 8xAA, 16xAF, All max, ~35FPS

GTA IV - All Forced to Max, ~30FPS

Borderlands - All max 8xAA, 16xAF, ~45FPS

Bioshock - All max, ~110FPS

So, you'll be able to play at 1366x768 with better results than above.

Also, the delivery company is splitting the orders, I'll be getting the 1st card in about 3 hours. So I'll have dual crossfire videos today.

:) Depending on the delivery company actually delivering it today! :)

[thojyout23]

you couldve got a 4870, or posibbly a 5800 series with that!

[noobehvc]

But, mine have 1GB of memory

[fannypenis]

Memory means fuck all if your running low resoultions and small screens.

[noobehvc]

I have one of this *.*

[ljscott1990]

What is the equivalent nVidia card?

[TheJowel911]

i would say 9600gt

[hahaha10001]

9500 gt, 8600gt.

[thojyout23]

i meant 2000 mhz effective

[thojyout23]

damnthing runs hotter than people are saying, 45-50 degrees at load??? thats not the case for me, mine is 55-65 degrees at LOAD! i cant overclock more than memory at 925, and core at 850, people got the memory to 1000 (200mhz effective) cuz the cooling, but i got the same card, and im feeling the fan and i can barely feel air from it, i have a 450w psu and wtf is up, this is suppposed to be cool and not hot when load. wtf, did i get a bad one???

[f00tballfever]

what program do u use to chk how much hotter it gets if you ioverclock???

[thojyout23]

the ati overdrive, and rivatuner. overclocked this thing reaches 80 degrees load. I have like 2 120mm high performance fans running right underneath it right on the card, and it doesnt even seem to cool down a bit. i also have 4 other case fans.

[f00tballfever]

ouch u mustve overclocked to the max.

[APiceOfPie]

@thojyout23 overclocking shouldn't be done with programs try and use the bios it is more stable that way

[k3nzh1n082]

i been through gaming world i tried various cards for decades,ATI card are truly buggy and incompatibility you were lucky if you manage to run it perfectly but they always have the superior gaming needs than Geforce , Geforce 9800GT and GTX250 is only good cards i known to Geforce but Geforce built for compatibilities and stables..

[BlackElitePwnage]

This HD4670 runs very cool on mini/mid towers! Put them in crossfire mode and wow...

[Th3S3ba5tian]

haha bought this card new for 99 swedish kronor which is around 13 dollars, hope its worth it. :)

[mitsostsagka]

I've heard that 4670 is a buggy video card...

[elktr00]

AMIGO SIRVE PA EL GTA ?

xD

[higherground02]

wow

[GlobalMusicStage]

NOTE:

If you buy the ASUS or HIS or SAPPHIRE or ICEQ....

buy the ICEQ

its not different in specs, its just dual slot and has a better cooler.

BUT...

The sapphire is the best value

[fster57]

HIS makes ICE-Q......

[R0L4M]

wait a fucking second there is no fucking way this graphics card got 55 FPS in crysis at 1280x1024 i bet this card actually got around 20. WTF rodney how do you explain this?

[Funkmasterchris3]

It's on Medium you fucking imbesal.

[bestSVMS]

it was on low res on low quality

[thumbscake]

this the one im getting thanks

[fster57]

ok i have one question about the overclocking, originally i had my core clock set to 795 but that was to much so i set it down to 790 and works perfect but the highest overclock i can get on the memory is like 923, but you said the highest is 1040mhz, oh and by the way i have the 1gb version if that matters

[bestSVMS]

each one is differnt as it depends on how cool you case is and each is slightly differnt anyway

[fster57]

no the cooling doesn't have anything to do with overclocking video cards, either you don't have enough to power it for the overclock or you don't.... -.-

[bestSVMS]

cooling doesnt have anything with overclocking video cards ?????????????????

If you run your computer in a suana and rip off the cooler

see if you can overclock that

get back with results

[fster57]

thats a little extreme but the stock cooler is fine....

[beshrew5]

the guy in the vid looks gay.. anyway good review. haha

[joshodst]

@beshrew5 lol xD,sad they removed it!

[Mikuz]

Is an ASUS ati hd 4670 512mb just as good as the his?

[Gilgamoosh]

So, should I buy an HIS HD 4670 IceQ Turbo 512 MB or a 9800 GT?

[rssatok]

9800 GT

[asslover23ify]

is very ok for a low and med buget and supportt's performance

[destoney92]

Currently running it with 350 Watt Power supply Never Had a problem even with crysis and o/c

[Magina33]

This card consumes 60W so it can run even on a 300-350W PSU

[FELIPEPKPK]

wow this card kicks ass goood

[denl0]

Does this card need 6pin power and is 17 amps on 12v enough??? its a 400watt i guess

[Hasfirstfrjord]

it does not need any external power and yes 400 should be enough

[conyo985]

Checked out ATI's website and it needs 450W.

[Homeboy9312]

i have this card in my pc, the card is very good i play call of duty 4 and crysis in nice graphic

[chunksapat]

would this work with

ASUS M3A78-EM motherboard

WD 500gb

4Gb ram

AMD athlon X2

and wat size PSU would i need???

[thefamilyk]

The nice thing about this card is that it doesn't need a monster psu. I ran this card on a 500 watt and it ran fine. This card will also do fine on 400, and 450 psu's too. Any lower wattage you might run into some problems.

[IWarriors]

This card is awesome, am using a Earthwatts 380 Watts PSU, no problems, infact this card is so awesome, am going to get a other one for CrossFire.

[unokilo321]

right now i'm running a phenom 9950, and a gtx 260 with 4gb ddr2-1066 ram on a ocz stealth extreme 500w psu, my psu was only about $90 and i also have a 430w psu runnig a amd 5000+ and a 9800gt with 4gb ddr2-667 ram, my 430w psu only cost around $60 anything with more then 20amps on the 12v rail and you should be fine then again i know nothing about this card. just check the minimum amps needed on the 12v rail, for any video card you want to buy then make sure the psu meets or exceeds it

[OldFartStudios]

must he say the HOLE name of the card every its annoying as shit

[fitimio001]

WTF Q6600 up to 3.6GHz How is that even possible! did you lap the cpu? Are you like running cascade cooling or something?

[hit852456]

Ice Cold baby

[fitimio001]

Yea, right , i bet it isn't even stable.

[hoochmccann]

... get with the program? people have gotten that high with air cooling... the q6600 is a beast at overclocking

[stevenh1607]

its possible, not that hard if you have water cooling

[afterburn13]

ivé got an intel dual core cpu of 3.0 ghz, (dont know the nubmer) running at 4.2 ghz stable with watercooling, also running 3 slithly overclocked gtx 280 :)

[metalmulisha98101]

and u are posting this on a budget card because?

[druu94]

i have a motherboar that says 2 pcie x16 (blue x16 and black x4 or x1)spee .... can i use 2 of these and with 650w psu

[thug499]

nerd

[xxdanielp]

I got the HIS version and oc it further to to 831mhz core clock and 1250mhz memory clock and so far its stable with load temp at 66-70 celcius and thanks to the ICEQ cooler that comes with the card.

Very good card.

[zerfsun]

what pci express interface means?

[miracle18th]

HIS 4670 with GF 9600GT , which is better ??

[Bogdanro95]

HIS 4670

[H31MU7]

they're about the same power, the 9600GT gets the edge sometimes but this is the turbo model so i imagine it's better. The big deal is that the 4670 has no external power connector, further proof that nvidia just needs to step their game up!

[GreenMeanieUK]

the 9600gt is better performance

[Magina33]

Yeah but the 4670 is cheaper and the 4770 pwnz the 9600GT and it's still cheaper than the 9600GT

[GreenMeanieUK]

i know the 4770 the perform better but he was asking if this was better than the 9600gt

[bisaf11]

Well u can´t really say that the 9600GT is better than the Ati HD4670.

There isn´t really a big difference .

But the the 9600GT is only a bit better because of the 256bit !!

[conduct0r]

works well with my 350w psu and

AMD Athlon X2 4800+ (overclocked)

Example: Far Cry 2 all very high 1280x1024 30-40 fps

[Dominiboy365]

Can i use two HD 4670 512MB cards in crossfire if i have a Thermaltake Toughpower 750W PSU? I dont wanna buy a new PSU, this PSU is really powerful.

[theidleness]

easily it doesn't take much power, doesn't even need a power connecter

[Dominiboy365]

ok thanks

[iphone16gmaster]

could i use this video card for my gateway dx 4710-05?

[theidleness]

as long as it has a pci-e slot

[amirudin920927]

the ati 4670 with geforce 8600 gt,which one do you think is the best?

[rqweuroaudfp]

rofl there some questions you schouldn ask xD

[amirudin920927]

may i know which one?

[LconJ]

The HD 4670 is better than a 8600GT, technically

[amirudin920927]

how about the price??

[Konfleik]

less of 100$

[theor14]

4670 is similar preformance to the 9600gso

[IchorEpsilon]

4670 is faaar better than 9600gso....

[EnemyRCA]

i just got it i play crysis on HIGH WOOT IM HAPPY NOW

[homie3626]

HD4670 ALL the way.

[amirudin920927]

the ati 4870 with geforce 8600 gt,which one do you think is the best?

[TheShocker1990]

by far the 4870 spanks the 8600, there not even in the same generation, the 4870x1 main compition is a 9800gtx.

[AGABIJO]

people people people!

this is an abnormal review since all of his video cards review is almost identical,

he really simply change the names.

very abnormal

very abnormal

no fun at all

[jordler]

i got this card . love it

[illmagnified]

This card blows, why would anybody ever buy it, when the 8800GT is in the same price range a lil more expensive but ALOT faster. Im playing Crysis at 1680X1050 with the EVGA 8800GT SuperClocked Edition then i overclocked it to 735 Core.1850 Shaders/ 2.2GHZ Memory which is faster than the GTX by about 3 to 10 fps in most games. I got videos on my account as proof.

[jordler]

yeah it sucks so bad that i can run crysis on very high when the game was build on nvdia graphics.

the card uses so little power only around 50 wats .

why do you randomly attack people on youtube for liking a new video card that is only like 90$?

[BigBoss9865327410]

Can I replace my old 7300LE because my card died and my power supply is only 305 watts so I'm afraid my PC couldn't support it :(

[jordler]

305 is pretty low . this card does not use much power. so it MIGHT work . but you could upgrade your power supply prety cheap .

[BoltActions]

You can find a 4670 for $80 on the internet. The lowest I have seen foor the 8800 on Newegg is $150 and $120 for the 9800GT.

The 4670 also works with 300watt power supplies.

[maxheadroom1987]

@ illmagnified

whats that? all I could hear was I'm a dickhead called illmagnified who gloats about my shitty hardware which is ancient. GET A FUCKING LIFE

[illmagnified]

Hey maxheadroom1987- lets think about this. Your talkin shit over a comment that was said 3 FUCKIN MONTHS AGO- and your dumb ass miss interpreted the context of the comment by alot cuz ur a fuckin donkey. Then you finish your Stupid fuckin comment by saying "get a fuckin life" when your the stupid bitch whos talkin shit to a comment which was said 3 MONTHS AGO FUCK FACE. GET A FUCKIN LIFE ASS HOLE.

[maxheadroom1987]

haha making nerds angry is fun :)

[illmagnified]

How the hell can u call others a nerd when ur on the same video...its kinda funny how you keep displaying how completely stupid you truly are.

"and don't you dare say it again cuz i actually have this card and its not" -Who the hell are you talkin to? So maxheadroom ur the geeky nerd type huh. Let me guess- Your a lonely bastard who trolls youtube and thinks its funny. Your pathetic man, again "haha making nerds angry is fun :)" GET A FUCKIN LIFE you sad sad individual.

[maxheadroom1987]

FYI i'm a causal PC user. Not great with all the bits and bobs of a PC but I know enough to get by. I simply swung by this video to look at a good upgrade for my PC as I'd like to play a game with better framerates. I don't really know what a 'troll' is, but I was just writing an opinion. I will admit I did get a little worked up and I apologize for that entirely. By the way I am only commenting back so soon because my Windows Live Mail is going crazy with all the emails coming through from ya:)

[illmagnified]

Dude, uve sent more msgs than i have, 2ndly:- your a casual PC user but your looking up performance stats on a 4670 when most poeple don't even know what a video card is you geek. So your opinions are insults now huh- because you think its funny to make others pissed off. Thats a troll. You are a troll, now you know what a troll is. Its EXACTLY what you do for fun. Literally. Troll. Peace.

[maxheadroom1987]

I've simply learnt the odd thing here and there about computing. I don't know much at all. Really. I know about graphics cards and how to install one and stuff about specs but thats it! If you asked me to build a pc, I wouldn't have the slightest clue! As for the offensive comments I am deeply sorry. I'd just woken up and hadn't had my medication. Anyways, I'm going to stop here becuase its a waste of comments. I am sorry for upsetting you :(

[golem72002]

can you try 4 of those in crossfire X?

[aznturtle1]

it looks like it could

[KJIgravitypwns]

that would take up over 9000 expansion slots

[pagla07]

will this card work with a 350watt power supply? n also its a pci express 2.0 gpu dus dat mean it wont work on normal pci exp mobos?

[agdgdgwngo]

depends what hardware your using, i know a friend that runs a 9600gt which requires it own power cable and takes about 100 watts or so and this was on a 250 watt psu, hope this helps

[jordler]

it might work okay with 350. i just got one the box says 400.

[gnuojoung]

You'll be fine with 350W PSU

[clutchem]

To me it's just what im looking for. I don't have to worry about buying a new power supply which will add to the cost of upgrading and it packs some good graphic power compared to the cards that are more popular.Most important...it's cheap ;)

[jhonysss]

which brand of HD4670 will not include the cross fire bridge ?

[GravitonProductions]

The Asus seems most attractive IMO. At 10 bucks less than the competition, and Newegg is currently offering a $10.00 mail in rebate! 69.99 for a card that runs with significantly more expensive offerings from those other guys. Oh, and the giant fan and hs keep everything cool as ice. Let's also not forget about the built in d-sub for all those with older monitors. Wow, I am impressed. Almost bought this model, but just couldnt resist the ASUS.

[scumfuccrust]

I always get ASUS cards... goes well with ASUS mobos.

[Cheshire414]

Im getting the exact same one in a few days. I'll prolly upload some vids on how the card performs. Cant wait!

[dj4monie]

Check out my videos. Its a great card, I have the Sapphire version, I have a mATX board I didn't have room for dual slot card(s) and my tuner cards, this an HTPC firstly. Now it can play all the newest games at a fairly reasonable frame rate even at HD resolutions... For $80? HD 3850 can't even do that... with AA turned on.

[xboxlive6]

dongle lol

[frogscar]

will this be better than a HD 3850??? because they are about the same price, and i don´t know which one to buy

[atdi345]

The HD 4670 is around 80 bucks, and is better than the 3850. Go with the 4670.

[frogscar]

ok thanks......

[Turtturi3]

hi! i was thinking to get this card so do i need to upgrade my 250W PSU?

[atdi345]

No, it doesn't draw much power at all, you'll be fine.

[TuRnARePlaY]

hd 4670 need 60w

[Brahmanfire]

Great review. Thanks Rodney.

[ZeroWlng]

alright calm down people I was fucking kidding

[assusao20]
