However, this card seems be almost no better than HD4550/4350.
I've tried HD4350 and despite 2x more shader units, it was no better than 790GX... WTH ?
I still lack an option for a good HTPC VGA. It's not powerful enough, and one step higher in the lineup is HD5670 which is probably too powerful and has no LP variant.

Do you mean 'Low Power' when you say 'LP'? Because the 5670 doesn't require extra power. And I'm sure I've seen passively cooled variants of the 5670, and even the
5750. Of course you would definitely need decent airflow for those cards.
