AMD lanserade 4600 serien idag.

"MD Introduces the ATI Radeon™ HD 4600 Series Graphics Cards for the Masses, Delivering Up To Double the Game Performance of the Competition at the Same Price1

− HD gaming gets easier with the ATI Radeon™ HD 4600 series, setting a new standard for mainstream graphics, delivering superior gaming and HD multimedia experiences at low power and exceptional prices −

SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- September 10, 2008 --AMD (NYSE: AMD) today announced the ATI RadeonTM HD 4600 series, mainstream graphics offerings that deliver exceptional gaming and HD multimedia performance while consuming less power than a standard light bulb.2 Comprising the ATI Radeon™ HD 4670 and the ATI Radeon™ HD 4650 graphics cards, the ATI Radeon HD 4600 series leverages the leading technology found in the award-winning ATI Radeon™ HD 4800 series, including support for the latest DirectX® 10.1 games, superior HD multimedia capabilities and industry leading performance-per-watt3, all delivered at affordable prices for the mainstream graphics segment. The combined features and technologies and incredible prices makes the ATI Radeon HD 4600 series a superb all-around performer, ideal for playing the latest games or driving a high quality home theatre entertainment experience.

The ATI Radeon HD 4670 and ATI Radeon HD 4650 graphics cards feature AMD’s TeraScale graphics engine, with 320 stream processing cores, and are based on AMD’s advanced second generation 55nm process. The result is that even in today’s most demanding games like Crysis, the ATI Radeon HD 4600 series delivers up to double the performance of competing products at the same price.1 Both the ATI Radeon HD 4670 and ATI Radeon HD 4650 deliver substantial gaming horsepower with minimal power draw – the ATI Radeon HD 4670 operating at under 60 watts and the ATI Radeon HD 4650 operating under 50 watts under full load – eliminating the need for additional power connectors and making installation a cinch. The ATI Radeon HD 4670 is immediately available with a frame buffer of 512MB GDDR3 memory with an MSRP from USD $79, while a 1GB DDR3-based variant is scheduled to ship later this month. The ATI Radeon HD 4650 features a frame buffer of 512MB GDDR2 memory and is expected to be available later in the month at an MSRP from USD $69.

“Today, AMD is providing mainstream users – one of the largest segments of the market – with superior graphics products and performance at previously unheard of prices,” said Rick Bergman, senior vice president and general manager, Graphics Products Group, AMD. “The success of the ATI Radeon™ HD 4000 series validates that AMD’s shift away from the traditional means of producing large, hot, monolithic graphics chip continues to be a successful strategy AMD continues to execute against its timelines and deliver leading graphics performance at every price point.

“Mainstream graphics cards – those priced under $100 – represent more than two-thirds of all desktop graphics sold today4,” said Dean McCarron, founder and principal, Mercury Research. Providing competitive solutions in this segment is a mandatory requirement to have a strong position in the graphics market.”

“The ATI Radeon HD 4670 proved to be an excellent performer, especially considering its low-power operation and affordable price,” said Marco Chiappetta, HotHardware.com. “AMD’s new ATI Radeon HD 4670 handily outperformed the ATI Radeon HD 3650 and GeForce 9500 GT across a broad range of benchmarks and just missed hitting the mark set by more expensive offerings. The ATI Radeon HD 4670 performed very well in our benchmark testing, which included a number of popular 3D applications and SD and HD video playback tests.”

Komplett har bla. Asus kortet listat, men inte i lager.

79$ för HD4670 och 69$ för HD4650, verkar onekligen intressant.
10kr för en dollar verkar inte gälla längre, HD4670 landar nog på under 700kr efter ett tag, priset på Asus-kortet som Komplett har verkar för högt.
Edit PowerColor HD4670 kostar 679kr på komplett, Uj uj uj.

Blir intressant att sätta ihop en billig liten AMD burk nu Efter 2 månader lär 4670 ligga på 400 kr strecket

Nu börjar testerna komma.

Även om jag hade hoppats på lite mer är jag inte speciellt besviken, för det priset, kommer det bli den nya budgetkungen.
Min förhoppning var att HD4670 skulle ha spöat HD3870 och då även få kostat lite mer än 700kr.
Nu känns det som om glappet mellan HD4850 och HD4670 är lite onödigt stort.

Därför kommer HD4750.
(Antar att du menar HD4670 i slutet)

Alla former av HD...? Det klarar inte h.264 >L4.1.

Japp jag menade HD4670.
Jag tänkte inte på HD4750 men det kommer nog att fylla hålet, rätt så bra.

Det går utmärkt att spela med den datorn.

Ja det går bra.

Det går bra med både XP och Vista, det går antagligen bra med W7 också men spelen har inte testats för W7 så det är lite mer osäkert.

Ja det fungerar med Vista Ultimate SP2.
