Nice deal but someone needs to tell my why they cant shrink some of these cards down to a small form factor size!! Prob more expensive to produce i guess. ++ for the FS too.

How does the 4670 compare to the 8800GS (g92) ?

Big fan of the 4670 for htpc since its so darn efficient. I have two of them in separate htpc's and since they also serve as a audio card capable of lpcm 7.1 they are a steal at that price.

Equal to slightly better in most cases.

But consumes 30W less power FTW!!

I think there is another thread that covered this specifically, but Nvidia has been more "on the ball" with offering low-riser GPUs. The best around is the 9600GT(or GSO?) and is pretty nice for slim-line machines.

It would be great to see the new 47xx series from AMD using the 40nm process to be released as a low-rise card.
