ATI Radeon HD™ 4670 Graphics Technology – Key Features
  • 320 Stream Processing Units - Enough power to tackle demanding games and applications.

  • GDDR3 Memory - GDDR3 memory provides better performance and more memory bandwidth than DDR2.

  • Microsoft DirectX® 10.1 - Play today while preparing for tomorrow with state-of-the-art DirectX 10.1 graphics capabilities.

  • Enhanced Anti-Aliasing (AA) & Anisotropic Filtering (AF) - High performance anisotropic filtering and anti-aliasing (4X AA) smooth jagged edges and create true-to-life graphics, for everything from grass to facial features.

  • PCI Express 2.0 - Support for PCI Express 2.0 will prepare you for bandwidth-hungry games and 3D applications.

  • Upscale Beyond 1080p - Watch the hottest Blu-ray movies or other HD content at full 1080p1 display resolution and beyond.5

  • Unified Video Decoder 2 (UVD 2) - UVD 2 frees up your CPU for other tasks so you get The Ultimate Visual Experience™ for the most processing-intensive content. You can also take full advantage of Blu-ray functionality with dual-stream, picture in picture capabilities.

  • Enhanced DVD Upscaling - Watch standard DVD movies in near high-definition quality with DVD upscaling.1 The GPU uses post processing algorithms to enhance standard and low resolution videos and movies on your HD display.

As you can see, we stole the graphics card chart from our 4550 review, which gives us an idea as to where the 4670 stacks up.  In the case of the Ultimate HD version of the 4670, our memory is clocked at 1.8GHz effective data rate, but considering what we have observed about the part type of the memory chips, we have high hopes about the overclockability of the card.
