Lets just say it compares almost to a 8800GT!

HAWX - Maximum detail
50+ FPS constant
Burnout Paradise - Maximum detail
60+ FPS constant
Terminator Salvation - Havent recorded FPS on this yet, but i experience no slowdowns at ALL
Scarface - Maxed out
60+ FPS
Left 4 Dead - Maxed out

Temps on this for my rig is 50 Degrees on full load and 30 on idle. i have 2 Fans, one for the CPU which does not blow at the card, and one small intake fan at the front which blows directly from the front of the card to the back.
The HDMI Works GREAT!
Just dont forget to set the Resoloution to the xxx - 720/1080 (depending on what tv you have). And set the sound in control panal to HDMI.
The only small thing is the product lies. it says it gives cables and CDS but all i got was the card and driver
Excellent silent graphics card
operating system:
Windows VistaI bought this Sapphire HD 4670 graphics card as an upgrade to an Nvidia 7600GT Fatal1ty passive graphics card (256MB DDR3). This card has 512MB of DDR3 memory clocked at 873MHz and a GPU clock of 750MHz with 320 shaders.
The results of running 3DMark06 (with an Intel Q9400 @ 3GHz) for the HD4670 were:
SM 2.0 Score 2854
SM 3.0 Score 3488
By comparison the 7600GT gave:
SM 2.0 Score 1315
SM 3.0 Score 1204
I have only tried running a few games such as Spore at 1680 x 1050 with high graphics details setting and it really does give a superb quality picture (with no noise of course).
I also measured the power consumption at idle and my PC went from 78W to 72W which is a welcome improvement. In summary this is a great card at only 62 quid including delivery!

Excellent.
Runs 44 degrees at idle and I don't even have a case fan. Has coped with everything I have thrown at it so far.
Nice and quiet!
operating system:
Windows 7Plenty of performance for someone that does very limited gaming.
I mainly use our system for SOHO type work, with a bit of architectural CAD thrown in. I wanted a silent graphics card - and, certainly at the time, this is the most powerful passively cooled card out there.
ATI's catalyst drivers have built-in video encoding using ATI STREAM which means I can transcode an entire DVD into DIVX format in less than 10 minutes! Same for MP4, which is great for iPhone movies.
Combined with a silent PSU, and an SSD boot-drive, I now have a totally silent PC - I can actually hear my clock ticking!
If you value your hearing/sanity, these come highly recommended!
Thoroughly Recommended
operating system:
Windows 7i would thoroughly recommend this card to anyone looking to find a compromise between price, performance and silence.
This card has brought new life to my PC, upgraded from an XFX 7950GT (also silent) and the difference is immediately noticeable.
I run all my games in 1280x1024 and new titles such as Operation Flashpoint the difference is noticeable, everything is smoother and looks nicer especially effects like smoke and water.
Compatibility
is there drivers for windows 7 as i can't find any listed on the Compatibility site???
