    Nice review. Been brainstorming how I'm gonna upgrade my comp next and this helps big time.

    I was pleasantly surprised that a $99 small form factor card could play BF3 and do it while looking good.

    Hmm... looks like a good candidate to upgrade my little Shuttle box.

    I'm pretty damn impressed. Definitely worth consideration for budget rigs or more importantly HTPC's and similar small-footprint desktops.

    Sapphire sells most of their volume in Europe, so I imagine it won't be too long, now. Komplett, Scan, etc.
  • Sweet! I was wondering if this needed much power, I guess not. I will get this for my Gateway SX2370-UB30P :D I will be playing skyrim like a boss

    IGN is reporting that the new XBox will have a GPU that's roughly equivalent to the 6670. Today's budget chip is tomorrow's argument for consoles being superior to PCs.

    Well, on the PC side the 6670 can certainly handle 1080p output with some details turned up. I'd imagine that with enough code optimization the GPU would be able to put out some pretty amazing graphics.

    I can't wait to tell fanboys my Crossfired 5770s are like two Xbox 720s duct-taped together. Which, according to IGN's math, is roughly 12x as powerful as a Xbox 360.
