While the graphics card team over at AMD might have the higher end of their market sorted out, you have to wonder how they're going in the lower and the mid-range market. Today we take the time to look at one of the main mid-range cards from AMD, the Radeon HD 4670. In our usual style we're not just looking at any old Radeon HD 4670, we're looking at the Super version from Palit which carries with it some extra memory, a bump in clock speeds and other handy features. So with that said and done, let's take the time to have a quick look at the package and a closer look at the card before we see exactly how this mid-range card performs, which should be better than reference. - TweakTown

Palit Radeon HD 4670 Super 512MB Graphics Preview

Checking out the front of the box, we don't see anything too out of the ordinary. The only difference is that because the card is a mid-range one, the package is smaller. This helps keep costs down when it comes to sending the cards around the world. Apart from Frobot taking up most of the box, we have a sticker that takes up a good chunk of it as well. We can see the model of the card along with some of the main features like 512MB of GDDR3 memory, dual link DVI and more. Turning the box over, we have some more specifications on the card in a number of languages. Also across the bottom we have the Palit website.

Pulling the card out of the box, there isn't a whole lot to see when looking front on. The middle of the card has a large gold cooler that takes up two slots. We can see that it only makes contact with the core and not the memory, but does blow air over the modules. Like most mid-range cards, we can see that no external power is required. What we do have, though, which we're used to seeing on all AMD based graphics cards are the CrossFire connectors located at the top of the card in the event you want to put a few of these together. As usual, when it comes to the output side of things we've got everything we need.

As the Super name normally suggests on Palit cards, we see an extra 256MB of GDDR3 memory on the card which takes us up to 512MB. The core comes in at 750MHz while the memory mentioned comes in at quite a large 2000MHz effective. Honestly, we have to say that we weren't expecting a whole lot when it came to the Radeon HD 4670 card. Mid-range cards really aren't that exciting and they tend to offer a pretty poor game experience at all resolutions. What was surprising though, is that the Radeon HD 4670 Super is actually able to play some more recent games pretty well at standard resolutions.

If you mess around with the settings even further, you could probably get some games playing pretty well at some lower widescreen too. Sure, you're not going to get the same visual quality as something like a Radeon HD 4870, but for the price the Radeon HD 4670 is one card you could actually be quite happy with. However, the Palit Radeon HD 4670 does lack in certain departments, the bundle is almost non existent and the dual slot design is also going to be a pain to some people. But the thing is, if you don't need the bundle and you don't mind the dual slot design then the card is a good choice with great performance.

If that wasn't enough, Palit have turned around and slapped on DisplayPort and something more useful to the home theater crows, a HDMI port. While there is no doubt that we would rather be playing games on a Radeon HD 4870 or a GeForce GTX 280, the Radeon HD 4670 Super from Palit is a good choice for people who game at lower resolutions or if you find yourself just looking for a new home theater PC graphics card that packs a little bit of punch and has all the connections you need.
