I think today's review is really going to interest the HTPC crowd.
Sapphire has come to the market with a low profile, low power consumption video card that appears to be squarely aimed at the HTPC maniacs. Not only is it low profile, but the overall size of the card is sure to fit in almost any HTPC application one can dream up, and by that I mean it is fairly small.
Today we are going to be taking a look at the Sapphire Radeon HD 6670 Low Profile (LP) Graphics Card. Not everyone needs a high powered, electricity hog in their computer. I know it's hard to believe, but not everyone plays video games constantly... I know, I know I was just as surprised as you guys. The Sapphire Radeon HD 6670 LP is one of the fastest cards in its class that does not require external power and is fully DX 11 compliant. And with an 800 MHz core clock, 1000 MHz memory clock, and 480 steam processing units - the Sapphire Radeon HD 6670 LP shouldn't have many problems with our battery of tests.
Sapphire is one of the top graphics card makers in the world. They are based out of Hong Kong and are a maker of ATI/AMD based video cards, but they don't just make video cards anymore. They have recently added some new products to their roster such as motherboards, power supplies, multimedia products, and even their own line of workstations and Mini PCs. On top of that they make one of the most popular overclocking utilities called TRIXX. As a matter of fact, I use TRIXX for all of the overclocking I do in my reviews. I have had the pleasure of reviewing a few of Sapphire's cards over the years and I have been very happy with their consistency and quality. Lets see if it holds up while we take a close look at the Sapphire Radeon HD 6670 Graphics Card.
