Nice looking 4670 at Scan

Looking forward to see what price they'll be selling this at...

... and if the cooler will allow some reasonable oc'ing.

Anyone called regarding the prices on those 4670 cards? Guessing there's no point as if they had a price they'd stick it on the site.

Would be very interesting to see some overclocking results with custom coolers. I'm tempted to get one of these and an accelero s2 with a deccent fan, that'd overclock nicely methinks

the MSI ones come with custom coolers, but like everything MSI, the coolers will probably burst into flames within seconds of putting them in your computer.

The suggested prices are around £50, but as we all know, SCAN will usually add a couple of quid on top like the 4850 and 9800GTs did over RRP.

Bearing in mind, P&P included, Scan would still come out cheaper than ebuyer considering the free postage (unless ebuyer repeat what they did with the 4850 Dual Slot and offer free postage on it at RRP)

Yeah but you would have spent ~£75 on it and for that money (or a little bit more) you could get a better card say a 3870 (available overclocked for £80 on ebuyer) or a 9800 GT both of which will knock the socks of the 4670 even if it is overclocked. Also the is the issue that the card can only draw 75W through the motherboard at least on PCIe version 1 (I believer PCIe v2 can double that if the board supports it) how much more speed are you going to get and remain stable with only 15W to play with?

That`s a very good point.
It would seem this card is effectively crippled with a PCIe V1 motherboard.
