Just to update some testing I did to this ATI HD 4670 GDDR4 Can overclock to 2400MHz for Memory Clock and 800 MHz for the Core Clock. With default setting (1100 Memory Clock and 750 Core Clock), I can playback AVCHD Encoded FULL HD Movies, 1920 X 1080 encoded with Highest Quality using Panasonic Full HD Camcorder HDC-SD9, easily with only 10 - 20% CPU utilization using PowerDVD 8 Ultra. |

Originally Posted by antmiu2 well i got a sapphire hd 4670 ddr 4 and got it to go core clock 800mhz and memory clock at 1140mhz.. not much a extreme oc but it did gave a good boost in games, maybe the HIS ICEQ 4670 GDDR3 1GB is a better overclocker, in fact, some come factory overclocked with the core clock at 780mhz but the sapphire hd 4670 is the fastest hd 4670 regardless. I also have 19 inch wide screen and the trick is to play at lower res. then 1440x900 and it could pretty much handle everything.. i was playing far cry 2 MAXED out with no lag. if u oc your e7300 and this card u can play decently. I really dont believe the asuses runs 15c cooler thing i have a custom cooler on mine and lowest idle i had is 36c and normal is 40c .. i wouldn't trust used cards tho. my bet is for the Sapphire 4670 GDDR4 512mb $71 in terms of performance but you should put up some 30 bucks more and get a hd 4850. I hope this helps you.
