With the current state of the US economy in the toilet, watching every penny is on a lot of people's mind. If you are a gamer, most times that is not possible as you want the best available performance, and that usually comes with a hefty price tag. When you find the delicate balance between price and performance, it can certainly bring a smile to your face. AMD has been behind the ball a bit on the last series of graphics cards in the green versus red race. With the Radeon HD 4800 series ATI is looking to regain some lost ground across all platforms, and the Radeon HD 4600 series is the mid-range category. The Palit Radeon HD 4670 Super is aimed squarely at the budget minded gamer. - HiTechLegion
