What we like about GIGABYTE HD 6670 2GB

  • Affordable entry-level pricing for budget-minded users
  • Low power consumption (66W TDP) and requires no extra power connector
  • Effective cooling with 10cm fan that runs quietly and maintains low temperatures
  • Reliable for multimedia, HD video playback (UVD 3 engine), and home office use
  • Supports multiple monitors with HDMI, DVI, and VGA outputs
  • 2GB VRAM version provides a slight edge over 1GB models for light gaming

What we don't like about GIGABYTE HD 6670 2GB

  • DDR3 memory version is significantly slower than the GDDR5 variants
  • Not suitable for modern or hardcore gaming at high resolutions
  • Physical size and large fan/heatsink may block an adjacent PCIe slot
  • Poor official driver support for Linux users, leading to stability issues
  • Older architecture (DirectX 11) is now considered obsolete for modern gaming tasks

Verdict

The Gigabyte Radeon HD 6670 2GB (GV-R667D3-2GI) is a budget-oriented graphics card featuring the 40nm 'Turks' XT GPU with 480 stream processors, a core clock of 800 MHz, and a 128-bit memory interface. This specific variant stands out by offering 2GB of DDR3 memory at an effective 1600 MHz, utilizing Gigabyte's custom-designed 100mm cooling fan and 'Ultra Durable 2' high-quality components. Its main advantages include low power consumption (66W TDP) requiring no external power connectors, a dual-link DVI-D, HDMI, and VGA output suite, and a quiet single-slot thermal design suitable for home theater or office PC upgrades. However, the use of slower DDR3 memory significantly bottlenecks performance compared to GDDR5 versions, and the card's aging architecture lacks modern driver support and the processing power required for demanding contemporary 3D gaming.
