MSI Radeon HD 6670 R6670-MD2GD3 Video Card
Cons:-GDDR3

Pros:-Small-Single Slot-Fast-Cool-Quiet-MIR-Powered by the PCI-e slot
Comment:
I bought this card for $45 after an MIR, and it is one of the best single-slot, PCI-e powered cards on the market. For the money, it's unbeatable. I can get 20+ FPS at 1366x768 running low to medium settings. Afterburner doesn't allow very much overclocking, and at the max overclock it's 100% stable, running the fan at 45%, and stays comfortably below 60 degrees. The GDDR5 model IS faster, but for the extra amount it costs, you'd bet better off with a 7750, which performs better and draws less power. I'm running it with an Athlon X2 (65nm), 4x1GB of DDR2, and I've had no power problems. I was running a GT 220 before this, and the 6670 probably doubled my framerates. It's a great card for the wattage, wallet, and size.

Cons:slowFairly large cardslow

Pros:cheapno external power needed
Comment:
I don't know whether or not this card's Achilles heel is it's gddr3 memory but i somewhat doubt that putting 2gb of it helps in any way.standard 6670 cards with 1gb of gddr5 score about 1200 on passmark benchmarks while this one chugs out about 750. To give some context, my integrated graphics on my A8-3850 score 770 stock spec.Also the "rebate" is in the form of a gift card which may take up to 8 weeks to arrive (gee I wonder why they don't mention that beforehand).My take:spend an extra 30 bucks and get the gddr5 version from xfx (single slot, low profile). You get what you pay for and expecting to play crysis 3 on a 40 dollar card is naive.Only gave 3 stars to reduce chances of censorship.
