any word on the price? This will be an awesome replacement for low wattage video cards that doesn't play well, hope this will be decent for low end gaming.

definitely a good option for a budget build , a bit faster than GT240 . Uhm according to THETECHREPORT's review the card runs a little bit hot ( 71C / load ) , but that's not really a problem .

This looks exactly like ATI's stock 5670 but the shroud on the heatsink has a decal on it and the PCB is black.

The 5670 does look like a very nice card, if it comes anywhere near 4770 performance I'll be impressed.

4850s are the same price and destroy the 5670 performance wise.

Is it just me, or does the XFX one look so much better than the others? I mean, its clean, simple and to the point.. Oh and single slot.
If its temps are good, I think XFX has the better product for it. |

Yeah, XFX usually designs their cards very well. I wouldn't want this card taking up 2 slots like how the HIS IceQ version does.

To me the HIS one is the winner as long as dual slot is not a problem.

YES! There's plenty of room for well-built, advanced single-slot coolers to find a place in the market while still providing adequate cooling and at least reasonable noise levels. I am not overly interested in keeping cool, as I firmly believe that most modern GPUs and memory chips have no issues withstanding high temperatures for long periods of time, I just need something small and powerful for my SFF gaming build.

512MB ~£53+VAT, 1GB ~£65+VAT 1GB challenges 4830, 4770, GTS250 and 4850 in some tests beats 4670 and GT240 across the board.

GDDR5 is the same as graphical double data rate. So the "G" stands for graphic as a graphic card ram.
