I am considering a card based on ATI's HD 4670 or 4650..My budget is around INR 5000/-. I am looking for a mid level graphics which should allow me to play latest games at medium-low settings, and slightly older games at medium - high settings.

Are the above cards ok?? Can you suggest some other card?? Help me please!! 😕

    What connections does your monitor support?

    Check the back of your monitor. If you see a 'blue' connector like this -

    then its VGA. It should be there.

    Check if there are more (viz. DVI / HDMI / DVI-D) connections. Probably, one of the most important things you should note before you zero in on your graphics card.

    PS: There are converters available, but why not make an intelligent choice in the first place? 😁

    Your goal is to make sure that your monitor directly supports the graphics card connection.

    Connection options:

    VGA (D-Sub) and DVI-D(Dual Link)

    The 4670 is great for its price. Does not need a dedicated power connector.

    I've run COD4 at full settings. Resident Evil 5, H.A.W.X and Dead Space runs well on it 😀

    Mine is the ASUS version (EAH4670). Has the DMI, DVI and the standard VGA outputs. Has a noisy fan at times. Try checking if other versions has a passive cooling option.

    Thanks for the review ash..I've read the same thing, that its a perky little fella..I'm going for the sapphire one, have read that the fan should be ok.

    Depending on the rpm, this fan should be very quiet, it almost seems like overkill on a card of this type...
