i would seriously recommend you a new branded PSU, my previous HD 4670 went kaput after 2 months with local iball 500 w psu, and then after RMA i sold it for 3k to a local guy.

Even without GPU my new psu 12V rails got burnt marks, so i seriously got freaked and bought Corsair CX400... well, experience is better but along with heavy loss.

If you wont buy a recommended PSU, you will end up in same situation as me.. and you will spend 3-4 months for RMA only..

Good luck wid ur purchase.

Sapphire is known brand and offers better after sales service than MSI ( cheapest card )

MSI offers a lot of overclocking headroom and use good quality of capacitors, chokes are used.
( costly than Sapphire )

XFX provides longer warranty at the cost of premium and stock performance. ( costliest )

Go for Sapphire , you can rely on their brand.

Important !!

will my Intel DG33FB Motherboard, PCI Express X16 slot support HD5670 GPU ???
Since HD5670 is a PCI Express 2.0 X16 and .. I am not sure about the PCI Express X16 slot on my MOBO.??

What if i use PCI Express 2.0 X16 GPU on the PCI Express 1.0 X16 Slot ?? What will happen?? Will th GPU work and give full performance while playing games like Crysis2, Mafia 2....???

I am planning to buy Sapphire Radeon HD 5670 with FSP SAGA II 400W PSU this coming saturday from Laminton road. So need your feedback at the earliest. Thanks

Regards,
AH

Yes, that board has one PCIE x16 1.0 slot that will accommodate the 5670. The thing that's nice about the PCIE standard is that it's backwards compatible, meaning you can install a 2.0/2.1 GPU into a 1.0/1.1 slot, as they are electrically compatible.

The 5670 will just run in PCIE 1.0 mode on that particular motherboard, which really won't even hurt you in the end. A 16 lane PCIE 1.0 slot still provides 4GB/s of bandwidth, which is more than adequate for a 5670.

Found in Yahoo :)
I have intel DG33FB motherboard. will it support Radeon HD 6670? This card says it support 2.1? - Yahoo! Answers

^^ 64bit is the bus width. won't make a difference as 6450 is a lowend card so a 64bit buswidth is enough for it. whereas 5670 being a low midrange card will require a higher buswidth to make the data flow without any sort of bottleneck.

depends. if you are from Kolkata & Delhi, you'll find these cards really cheap. something like 4.5k or less for the 512Mb version. 300 bucks more for the 1Gb version.
