AMD Radeon HD 6670 Graphics Card Review

The AMD Radeon HD 6670 is a very good budget offering and we believe that it should sell very well for AMD and partners.

The sub-£100 market generates a huge percentage of GPU sales and the HD 6670 brings a strong feature set and solid performance to the end user on a budget. We feel that the HD 6670 is perfect for users who want to engage in casual gaming at 1080p, a specific demand which isn’t possible with Intel’s integrated graphics solutions. Throughout our gaming tests we managed to achieve very playable framerates throughout a series of current games. The Radeon HD 6670 also features support for EyeFinity, making it perfect for people who want an affordable, multi-screen setup.

The HD 6670 will be perfect for those who want multiple screens for work related purposes. This card would also make a good option for a media centre because when compared to integrated graphics solutions, high definition media is delivered with noticeably improved image quality.  We are sure that passively cooled versions will become a firm favourite with media center fanatics.

There isn't currently any UK pricing available for the 6670 but the $99 price tag should translate to around £80 inc. VAT when it hits UK retail.  At this price, we feel it offers good value for money for casual gaming or home theatre environments.  For those who want a work oriented discrete solution for multiple screens then the cheaper HD 6450 that we reviewed recently might be a better value for money proposition. It is also worth bearing in mind that Sapphire recently re-released a special, low cost version of their HD5830, which would make more sense for gamers.

Pros

• Good Gaming Performance
• Eyefinity Support
• Quiet and Effective Cooler
• Low Power Consumption
• DirectX 11 Support

Cons

• Dual slot cooler isn't ideal for Small Form Factor setups

KitGuru says: A great card at a reasonable price that is suitable for numerous uses.
