    Seal of Approval

    This is a card that is aimed for the person who is looking to not spend a lot of money, while getting a lot of performance. This card can also be a great addition to an HTPC. This is because of a feature that is now on all ATI cards, the ability to take the load away from a CPU when playing video. That means that you do not need as fast of a CPU. It also means that you have smoother play back.

    Approved by Phoronix

    The Sapphire Radeon HD 4650 OC costs about $10~15 USD less than the Radeon HD 4670, which works out to be about 15% less for this budget graphics card, but when using OverDrive we had no problems beating the HD 4670 when it came to the frame-rate performance in all of the Linux OpenGL tests. The Sapphire Radeon HD 4650 OC had also annihilated the GeForce 9500GT, which is the direct NVIDIA competition in the same price range, in our Linux tests. If you are currently deciding between the Radeon HD 4550, 4650, and 4670, the Sapphire Radeon HD 4650 512MB OC graphics card would be a great choice. Its performance is significantly better than the Radeon HD 4550 and is comparable to that of the HD 4670 when overclocking. This graphics card has low power requirements, runs cool, and we encountered no Linux problems during our testing.

    Must Have Award

    Well testing this card was really a hoot. It surprised me all around and is really a bargain for what I'm assuming it's going to cost. For the market that this card is aimed for it is well and above what any "mainstream" user is going to expect. For the casual gamer of for those of us who don't have the money to upgrade big time this is a perfect step up. Sure this card isn't going to put you in the major leagues but if you just want a taste of the newer games then this card will be perfect for you. This little card has some kick for the price and if you are in the market for a card and you've got a budget I would definitely put this on your list of cards to consider. If you are casual gamer, an HTPC user, or even looking to upgrade your existing system, this card is a pretty sweet card.
