ATI HD 4670 Review

Martin

That 100w isn't just the card, that's the whole system, which uses a whole load of other high-end components. Also, because it's the power draw from the plug socket that we measure, you can straight away discount 15-20 per cent of that figure because it's lost through the power conversion process in the power supply.

With a more modest system you'd be looking at more like (and this is completely of the top of my head) 60W.

As for the power consumption figure of them under load; do you have any idea of the computing power that is required to perform real-time 3D rendering? It's phenomenal what these modern day cards can do.

Sounds like this card could be a good option for you.

Sounds like the card you've got uses a dual slot cooler, which the card we tested doesn't. Not sure what the loud fan problem is though.
