Just need a new card and was wondering if the Radeon 6670 was any good, more specifically this one:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/VTX3D-VX6670-2GBK3-H-PCI-Express-Acceleration/dp/B005O8HMSG/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_T1?ie=UTF8&coliid=IEUD5KJ91KK4O&colid=172L3LMEWUWUN

Also how about this for a PSU (doesn't seem to have a very high rating):

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-CMPSU-500CXV2UK-Builder-Series-CX500V2/dp/B005851O16/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_T1?ie=UTF8&coliid=I291I8RAK4LF8G&colid=172L3LMEWUWUN

Thanks in advance!


Edit: what about the 7750, its about £85

I'm running the 6670, and it gets 60 fps on Crysis 2 (on ULTRA). It's awesome and cheap!

60 fps on the forest level.

DX9 probably, there is no way he's using his res or DX11, and certainly not both at the same time.

Got the very same card in my comp downstairs. It's solid.

Runs Xonotic 0.6 (which is fairly demanding for an open-source game) on Ultra at >120FPS in most cases. Rare cases of lag are when there's bajillions of effects on screen at once but that's to be expected.

Doesn't say much, loads of CPU's are called "i5". Motherboard is not entirely irrelevant either.

No thats not a very good card, certainly not for gaming..

Your best bet would be save up a tiny bit more and try and get an ATI 6850 at a minimum
