I have been looking at this and I have a 8800 GTS 512 and I thought mine was like 200 dollars or more, how is this 100 dollar card better than mine. is there something I'm missing? Is it just because my cards older? or heck maybe that cards older im not sure. Because all the clocks and the memory all are significantly higher than mine.

The HD 4670 is newer than the card you got and even though it's got higher clock speeds (assuming it is) its bandwidth may limit the card's true potential.

Can't remember the G92 version of the 8800GTS specs (too lazy to Google)

Finally thank you, In your opinion is it worth getting that 4670, Despite the fact that I have a 8800? Also does the bandwidth really limit that much?

Why would you get an HD4670? HD4830s are superior.

You do not need 1GB of video memory unless you are using a resolution higher than 1680x1050.

Lol, zarr come on, what is the only reason you would get something that is worse? I cant afford it probably im trying to get in between the 100-150 dollars.

EDIT: DIDNT see that the 4830 is only like 84 bucks... lol, should i get a 4830 instead?? or the 4670 humper suggested

Also, Why doesnt the 4830 show any clocks? I must know them, roar.

THe 8800 GTS is much better than the 4670. If you need a new graphics card, wait till April 9th and get the 4750 or 4770.

HD4830s have twice as many stream processors as HD4670s (640 as opposed to 320) along with a slightly faster memory clock (1800MHz as opposed to 1700MHz), however the core clock is weaker (575MHz as opposed to 750MHz). I believe the core clock is faster in the 4670s to make up for the memory interface bottleneck.

According to these benchmarks, the 4830 in question is superior performance-wise, however it runs significantly hotter and uses more power.
