Keep your PC's resolution settings modest, and the $99 AMD Radeon HD 6670 can be a good way to play 3D games without breaking the bank....

The AMD Radeon HD 6670 is a good low-cost graphics card for anyone who wants to upgrade from integrated graphics and give their PC the ability to run the latest games. It can run most games smoothly at Full HD resolutions, while more taxing games will...

The release of three mainstream graphics cards marks an almost-complete transition to the Radeon HD 6000 series for AMD. Previously available in OEM form for large system builders since February, AMD's HD 6450, HD 6570 and HD 6670 are incremental...

AMD's new Radeon HD 6670 offers decent 3D performance for resolutions up to, including, 1280x1024. If you are willing to sacrifice some details settings or live without anti-aliasing then 1680x1050 will be possible too in many games. Even though...

Dual-Graphics Mode really works. In most titles, a nice improvement was seen by pairing the onboard graphics with the discrete card as an HD 6690D2, as AMD calls it. First, evidence shows that the performance is proportional to the sum of the power...

The Radeon HD 6670 from AMD is a card to consider when building a HTPC system and succeeds to offer enough performance in games when using lower resolutions like 1280x1024, 1600x1200 or 1680x1050; for the last two resolutions, in some cases we might...

The GeForce GTS 450 was between 5% and 40% faster than the Radeon HD 6670 in our benchmarking. So, between the two, the GTS 450 is the video card we recommend. Some may think the comparison is a little bit unfair, since the GeForce GTS 450 is USD 15...

Many AMD budget graphics cards have overlapping price-points at the moment, with the HD 6570, HD 5670, and the GDDR5 version of the HD 5570 all lurking in the same price range. The 5570 is the obvious odd man out, while the 6570 doesn't offer as...

The new Radeon HD 6570 and Radeon HD 6670 performed relatively well throughout our testing, but couldn’t keep pace with a couple of similarly priced, previous generation cards. As expected, the smaller frame buffer and lower-GPU clock of the...

By HotHardware on

At $79 and $99 respectively, the HD 6570 and HD 6670 do their jobs quite well by offering entry-level DX 11 graphics cards that can deliver at resolutions up to 1050p. In many of our benchmarks, both the graphics cards managed to maintain frame rates...
