The X600 series is supposed to be AMD's flagship card for low power users. No 6 pin connector/great performance. This is VERY disappointing, I wanted to pick up a high end 28nm video card that I was going to use on a lighter system I will be working on, now I might as well get a 6670.

Did the release of Bulldozer lower the prices of the Phenom II series? I was going to get one but hell, might as well just use that money to get an upgrade for my existing AM3 setup to a Phenom II X6 1100T or X4 980 from my X3 720?

I guess some info on the PSU would be useful, it is a crappy PSU, an Orion P4-485 485W Power Supply but all he's got in there now is a Radeon HD 2400 PRO (which requires no 4 pin) and an athlon X2 260, not a very high powered system at all

I think it may be a PSU problem to, I dug up a PS/2 Keyboard and its still not detecting what else could the problem be? :banghead:

ok more info my friend DIDNT reformat his hard drive that he reused in the computer! Could this be the source of the USB problem?

Alright good news, the new is CPU working, but now the USB ports dont seem to work, is it from resetting the CMOS?

Also I should have mentioned this in my last post, the CPU I was trying to use, turns out it wasn't posting (no beep code) so I tested another one (an Athlon X4 620) and it seems to have worked (posted, didn't try plugging in a monitor... which weas kinda dumb in hindsight), unfortunately I...

Sorry been completely swamped past few days. It could be an onbaord issue, might drag a monitor over there to see if it works since the onboard is just VGA and the current monitor can only take DVI, also all my DVI/VGA converters are male DVI/female VGA which is kinda useless in this situation...

The motherboard is an Asrock N68C-S UCC. Unfortunately I don't have access to another PSU right now, everything seems to be working fine with the the PSU though. The Video card is a Radeon HD 2400 PRO DEFINITELY doesn't need any external power. There is an Nvidia IGP but I don't have any VGA...

I'm helping a friend build a crappy computer, just some spare parts, an Athlon X2 7850 and Radeon HD 2400 PRO. The things lights up, the fans spins but I'm not sure its posting and it won't detect the monitor, I've tried everything, messing around with the RAM, unplugging etc. nothing seems to...

My Roommate has a... pretty medicore setup, an athlon 64 X2 7850, 2GB DDR2-800 and a Radeon HD 6670 1GB GDDR5 but he REALLY wants to play Deus Ex: Human Revolution, can he run it? The Minimum requirements are for a 4850 which, in raw power is better than the 6670 but he is using a 1920x1080 23"...

could this accept 4GB SO-DIMMs?

My bad missed it :p But the biggest improvement is memory going from DDR3-1066 to DDR3-1333 which helps noticebly with the GPU in the APU

Still waiting for the E-450 :/

The 11.6 hotfixes are designed specifically for the Fusion based GPUs, a lot of the 'problems' with the crossfire setup with the A-3850 and the 6670 seem to stem from drivers rather than raw power. Great review! Thanks!
