Bought this at ~$50 cheaper here then anywhere else. Windows 7 score for graphics went to 6.9. I could’nt be happier! Runs a dell 24″ Widescreen great.

I think this is currently one of the best budget cards you can get that doesn’t require a separate power supply connection. It’s fast, small, and cheap. My only complaint is that while they claim it is the 4670PE31GDT model, it seems to actually be the 4670PE31GHP model. What is the difference? Only a slightly lower clock speed on the 4670PE31GHP (873Mhz vs. 900Mhz), and the inclusion of native HDMI output (No dongle needed!). I’d give this item 4.5 stars but amazon doesn’t allow half star incriments. I believe the mix up with the model numbers is a Diamond error, and not Amazon’s fault, because the box claims it is the 4670PE31GDT model, however if you go to the Diamond website and compare cards and specs, it is clearly the slightly slower 4670PE31GHP model, but this model includes a native HDMI output. I just prefer to know exactly what I’m paying for.

I bought this one hoping that the picture was wrong because I wanted it based on the model number, not the picture and thankfully I did receive the correct model number (wrong picture). I bought it for my HTPC and I absolutely LOVE it! This card runs my movies and blu-ray at 1080p without hesitation. This card is a true bargain at $70. I see they are now asking $100 for it… I would not pay that much as you can get a higher end card for that price. The great thing about this card though is the built in HDMI port. If you are using it for a HTPC like me, this is a necessity. If you buy one with only dvi ports you will have to put the dvi to hdmi adapter on and then by the time you plug the cable in your htpc will stick out way past any other component in your rack. This thing also runs very quietly. When I pause the movies, you can just barely hear the power supply fan but not this one at all. I would imagine if you were playing a 3D intensive game, that would change as it would be heating up much more. Anyway, if you are looking for a great HTPC video card, then look no further. If you are looking to play 3D games on your TV, this will do the trick as well but you may want to consider stepping up a model or 2 as this one is definitely not a 3D workhorse even though it will get the job done.

If you are looking for the card in the picture, then you want Radeon HD4670 1GB 2PORT Dvi Svid.

I have used Radeon 9800 video card in the past and didn’t know the 4670 was not even close to the speed I needed. My fault!

My roommate bought this card last month. The first night he left his the computer on after installing the card. His computer caught fire and burnt my house down! If you buy this card, please make sure the batteries in your smoke detector are good, and your insurance fire is paid.
