    3 AWARDS 4


    Driver Heaven Gold Award – Best In Class Award

    To begin with the card has an absolutely fantastic cooler, the passive solution is not only silent but it keeps the card’s temperatures at impressively low levels. Combined with the fact that the card has on board HDMI without the need for extra dongles makes it a brilliant candidate for HTPC uses. It will allow for casual gaming as well, even managing to perform well at 1920x1200 in some of the latest titles

    Driver Heaven


    Elite Bastards Innovation Award

    If you're looking to build a silent or near-silent system, then this card's passive cooling solution doesn't just fit the bill, but it also does so while maintaining temperatures lower than AMD's reference Radeon HD 4670 cooler. A great little piece of workmanship, it has to be said

    Elite Bastards


    DAM Good Award

    From where I stand the HD 4670 Ultimate just oozes appeal for HTPC users who want the ability to play games at 720P without any of the accompanying fan noise that high loads usually induce in modern cards. Sapphire really has hit the nail on the head with the HD 4670 Ultimate in so many ways. All in all, the Sapphire HD 4670 Ultimate is a great card with an awesome amount of potential for those of you who appreciate silence. If Sapphire keeps on making cards like this, they may just win us over one of these days.

    Best Value

    Sapphire did a great thing by upping the ante with the new HD 4670 with GDDR4 memory. The increase in performance was slightly noticeable in daily usage compared to the older HD 4670. We feel that this card is more geared toward the hi-def freaks out there than gaming. Not saying the HD 4670 will not play any of the current because it can easily, but only with some tweaked settings being done to the game options. The noise level should be one of the most important factors for would-be owners of this card. It offers the lowest noise level while using active cooling than any other card on the market. And if you need another reason to implement this card in your next HTPC build look no farther than the back of the card. The HD 4670 has a native HDMI connection. There is no need for adapter or such. The 1080P and the 7.1 channel audio is great. And what is ever greater is the low price point of about $70-$80.

    Whiper Quiet

    The Sapphire Ultimate Radeon HD4670 is definitely well suited to an HTPC installation. No noise, minimal power consumption, and manageable heat output are some of the items that are desirable but sometimes hard to obtain with a card that can perform well. This HD4670 does all of that while offering some decent processing power, DirectX 10.1 and Shader Model 4.1 support, a variety of HD audio and video refinements, and of course an integrated HDMI port. Considering the performance as it relates to HTPC applications and the silence that it does it all in, the Sapphire Ultimate Radeon HD4670 earns the Bigbruin.com awards of "Recommended" and "Whisper Quiet".
