With that said though, picking up a mid range graphics card like the 4670 is always going to be something of a false economy. Sure you save a good £30 opting for the Radeon HD 4670 over the Radeon HD 4830 or 9800 GT, but you’re getting a whole lot less graphics card and we’re certain the compromise just isn’t worth it.

Spending a lot on a graphics card might be hard to stomach, but in the vast majority of games it’s going to have the biggest impact on your enjoyment. Save a little cash now and in 12 months time you’ll be back to square one with a card that’s struggling to deliver playable frame rates with games looking their best. Spend a bit more though and you’ll get a card that should prove to be a whole lot more future-proof – just ask the GeForce 8800 GTX owners out there still happily running a card the bought over two years ago!
