Getting Started

I am trying to find out which is the best current graphics card that does not need a pci-e power connector.
Is it the 4670?
Is there any other card better than the 4670 that does not require a power connector?

the OC version would be better and looks nicer too (in my opinion)  it has better cooler too but that is not an issue with HD4670 as it is not hot at all but Gainward is popular here, so no offense to Gainward's fans  but the difference should not be significant, go for whichever brand that you prefer

Sent for RMA 4 months ago, last month only they replaced it with a USED Gigabyte 8800GT TF Type A (old Zalman cooler) Now still fighting for my rights with ScanArt, even emailed to their PIC.
