AMD’s Radeon HD 6670 & Radeon HD 6570: Two’s Company, Sub-$100’s A Crowd
by Ryan Smith on April 19, 2011 12:01 AM ESTThe Test
For the AMD DX11 lineup including the 6570 and 6670, we’re using the Catalyst 11.4 preview driver. For NVIDIA’s lineup we’re using the release 270 driver.
Sub-$100 cards have rarely been able to play our games at 1680 at our usual settings, so we’re once again breaking everything down into both 1280 at lower settings as our primary point of reference, and 1680 for comparison with our faster cards. The 6670 generally is too slow to play at 1680, but there will be a few exceptions.

I'm getting an old Acer Veriton S670g(for 0$) which comes with a 300 watt power supply,I'm not sure that it does have a 300 watt anyway.On the benchmarks I see that it requires so about 200 watt on full load so please does anyone know for sure that the 6570/6670 would work or not.Cpu: Intel E8300 2.83Ghz (65 watt)
Memory: 4GB ddr2
I hope that this is not a stupid question.
