Is this a decent card for the price?

Ouch. Mine could barely handle 1280x720, and I overclocked my processor quite high.

Well I played CSS on a 7600GT with that resolution and i got a constant 100fps

 

[Ph?bus]

Oh. I play more games than just CSS, and for most games I got around 30-40fps @ 1280x720

CSS isn't much of a graphics hog it wouldn't stress a card like that. I played CS on high settings on a HD4350 that came stock in my computer and had no issues. It runs a quite a bit more smoothly on my 5850 though.

The 4670 isn't a bad card if your playing source games. If you want to play games like Bad Company 2 or STALKER for example though you would need something with a bit more oomph then the 4670. I can guarantee you that the 4670 isn't going to handle 1920x1080 Resolution in higher end games unless you have the settings all cranked down and you run the games in DX9.

Spend another $100 and get this

HIS doesn't give up on that cooler huh?

Be careful with that card though, if you do get it. They're known to cause problems and HIS support is just horrible.

DirectX10 is actually more optimized than DirectX9, so running it like that wouldn't really do much.

I'm sure hes on a budget, plus I'm no bottlenecking expert but I think his CPU might bottle neck the GPU

 

[Legit^]

My cpu with probably bottleneck the 4670 lol

 

[Ph?bus]

Nah, your CPU is a perfect match for it.
