nice review, the lowest 4 series I'd get is the 4830. the 4670 is barely capable of modern game playability anything else with the exception of some of the ATI titles leaves the 4650>lower to be a waste unless you don't intend to play any new games

A waste? Better performance with less power consumption when compared to alternatives like the 3450 etc.
It's good for small cases with bad power supplies.

It's the decisions you make when you have no time to make them that define who you are.

i mean the value for what you get isn't a good range with those lower cards. 4830/50/70 are the best bang for buck.A waste? Better performance with less power consumption when compared to alternatives like the 3450 etc.
