Tapped as "want it"

Disagreed: "uses double the power at idle as the previous generation 4670"

Agreed: "high value - dollar for dollar better than any previous generation card in or around its price point (up to $150)"

Agreed: "extremely low power consumption - uses half the power of a 4830 under full load, while outperforming it, 17.4w idle"

Agreed: "plants itself firmly between the 4830 and 4850 in terms of performance"

New pro/con: Twin DVI out work well in Ubuntu and Windows.

New pro/con: Low power requirements at 59 Watts, no extra power plug needed.

New pro/con: Decent performance across a wide range of tasks.

New pro/con: Very good value for a low to mid range machine.

"Have had it running without any problems in both Ubuntu and Windows XP for about a year runing dual monitors at 1440 by 900. I rarely notice any noise from my box so I would have to say noise is not a problem. I feel I have a very good card that does what I need more

"After 3 years service, I still have no dead pixels and it seems as bright and clear as when I bought it. I would buy one again. My bad, I bought two of a later model so I could run dual desktops. All three are well worth what I paid at the time."
