Power Consumption and Temperatures
Testing the power consumption of these low cost graphics cards is sometime more important than on the higher end models as those consumers tend to over compensate on their power supply already. For the budget buyers and OEMs, looking at the power draw can help with critical buying decisions.
Now here is where we see those cards without a power connection really put their mettle to the test. Both the HD 6670 and HD 6570 are using less than 210 watts of total power while the NVIDIA GTS 450 is pulling in 55 watts more power. That is a LOT considering the total consumption limits of the Turks GPUs are around 60 watts making the GTS 450 a better performer but not more efficient.
The temperatures of all four cards remain in a safety zone here between 69 and 75 degrees C. Obviously the coolers on all of them are doing their jobs. Keep an eye out for custom made HD 6670 and HD 6570 coolers that will either be quieter or more efficient (maybe even passive) as these reference cards aren’t going to be shipped.

Ryan,check the rendering of this and the 6790 previews in ff4 with basic styles on,apparently a flay rod has gone askew on the tredle
What are you seeing exactly?
What are you seeing exactly? Can you check if you have the text size if FF4 non-default?
Try hitting “Ctrl+0” and see what happens.

Odd ok it may be at my end on a mac running ff4 everything is squeezed to the right side of frame only 1/3 of graphics show all text shows but in a very narrow column, checked on win7 systems and the reviews look fine ,if i turn off basic page style on the mac and go to no page style it looks ok looks good in chrome on win and mac . i will check more over the weekend and see if i see any other glitches
Appreciate the help. Any
