    Radeon 6670 vs 4870 performance comparison

    Heat and Power is not an issue, as he keeps the is cabinet chassis open all the time and he has a top of the line OCZ SMPS borrowed from me. Noise can be, but I think if the card doesn't heat up very much because of good ventilation and no OC..it won't be as noisy, right?
