How does this compare to other cards out there ? From my understanding this is an OEM only card.

Edited: The higher score is apparently crossfire. I'm assuming it's running over the PCIE bus as these cards have no CF connector. The lower score is single card.

As someone who's less acquainted with video card specs, I'd like to know if the 6670 of this generation will be more or less powerful than the 5670 of last generation. Judging by how AMD has changed their naming convention, I'm assuming that the 6670 is actually less powerful than the 5670 (the same way the 6870 is less powerful than the 5870). Correct me if I'm wrong though. If anyone could explain this I'd appreciate it.

Regardless, the 6670 looks like a fine mid-range card.

According to tomshardware, the HD6670 has 480 shaders with 24 Texture units and its a VLIW5 architecture with 800MHz core and 1000MHz GDDR5 memory. With this specs it would be faster than 5670 (400 Shaders, 20 Tex units @ 775MHz core and 1000MHz memory) even if it is a direct Evergreen architecture.

ok, so almost the speed of a 460 FTW in 3D11? I'm very curious as to thermals/noise given the smaller cooling solution.
 
Not sure I would say 6850/GTX460 level just yet. This card is still 128-bit. Better have some memory clocked really high. 🙂
 
This doesn't look like a card that will be competitive in higher resolutions. There is going to be a memory bandwidth deficit no matter how high they get the clocks. 1680 x 1050 will probably be the sweet spot.

I agree considering 3dmark11 runs at 1280x720 (which I think is dumb.)

Its still faster than I expected.
