Now all items on superbiiz will be posted here with this coupon. Please remember only one time use per customer on this coupon. Dont waste time if you have already eaten the walnut !!!

And since when NewEgg became a benchmark for price comparison ?? Already I cannot stand SD becoming a vehicle for all NewEgg inventory now with price comparison too ?

Yeah. Newegg price stinks. Amazon lists it for $90, however lists #2 mail in rebates for $15 each which I think would fail.

Anyhow lowest price on 6670 I've been looking for. It is a "me too" deal tho lol.

is this is a better deal than the 6770?

6770 is much more powerful imho,

6770 seems to give you more FPS about 50% more it seems.

I would estimate 6670 idle watts to be 9-10 watts, about 70 watts at load.
6770 should idle about 20 watts at idle, about 100 watts at load.

6770 requires 6 pin PCI-E additional power.

I would say 6670 is better for people who game very infrequently and are mostly playing say, plants vs zombies or facebooking - lighter on the wallet in a number of ways, mainly in watts at idle. 6670 would be better for HTPC imho.

EDIT: especially if your computer is on 24/7, 10 extra watts would translate to 10*24*365 or 87 extra Killowatt hours a year.

In california, if you are in the highest electricity tier (which I happen to be goddamint) it ends up being 34 cents per killowatt hour for electricity, which ends up being an extra $32 dollars in electricity a year when comparing 6670 and 6770, if the computer is on 24/7.

Thx elbowglue... that was actually REALLY helpful to know! I threw a 6770 in my htpc/gaming computer last month and was wondering this! (In Cali as well)

Quote from Firebird : is this is a better deal than the 6770?

No, not a better deal. But if you don't have a decent PSU, at least you can run this card.

Yeah, but if you're spending $200 a year to power your computer, the $10 is really worth it if you plan on playing games much. And the DDR3 version of the 6670 will be memory bottlenecked a lot. I'm not very impressed by this price, but it's decent enough.

Now if you're a casual gamer, this is still a decent gaming card and will get you playing SWTOR or Skyrim.

huh? you sure about that?

Quote from ekuest : huh? you sure about that?

You'd be at low or medium settings, but it would be playable.

Quote from w4ffles : You'd be at low or medium settings, but it would be playable.

That's what I meant. If you try to play Skyrim on integrated with an OEM machine, you will fail. If you try to play with a GTX 460 thrown in an OEM machine, you might have some problems with your power supply. But if put a 6670 in an OEM machine, you'll be able to put some of those common games on low/medium.

Here in Texas it's about $0.10 a kilowatt hour so this would cost less than $10 a year difference assuming running 24/7 which is nothing. Assuming running 12 hours a day its less than $5 a year difference.

Skyrim on a 6670 [youtube.com] (GDDR5 version though), doesn't look too bad really. Min frame rates will probably fall under 30 fps at their resolution. A lot of people on SD tend to underestimate framerates for mid to entry level cards, but the 6670 is sufficient for 75% of the gamer universe (single monitor, 22 inches or less, typically playing WoW or some MMO and can deal with none-maxed settings). 6770 is probably sufficient for 85% or so. NVIDIA and AMD's graphics division don't make their money on the GTX 570s/6950s but on their low and mid range cards. They sell a ton more of those chips even if they make less money on each.
