Which is better Nvidia 9400 or ATI Radeon HD 5670

[umaymah]

I am looking forward to purchase a new Raedon HD5670 1 GB currently i had a 9400 GT. After installing the Raedon HD5670 , i would like to know whether the Raedon HD5670 is a good choice and is it better than the 9400 GT. My friends are recommending me to go for the ATI Radeon HD 5670. But I need to know the features of the Raedon HD5670 so that i can judge whether it is feasible for me to get this graphics card or not. Please help.

Ati Radeon HD 5670 really has managed to pass all the tests of time as per my knowledge, when most thought it was in trouble pulled an ace from its sleeve and began to "defeat" nVidia in a very complex market such as video cards ro graphics card. Is a complex market because here the only thing that counts is the better it looks, is super competitive to the point that there were only two major competitors and the rest had to be wiped off the market. The new GPU is the third in the family "Evergreen" from AMD, the chip Redwood is almost half of Juniper (of the Ati 5770 ). SIMDs 400 against 800, 8 ROPS to 16, 20 to 40 texture units, and so but with the same data bus which is good enough to provide you a much better quality.

If you have an old micro-environment and you want to upgrade the video without spending much of your money, then the board GeForce 9400 GT is a very good option for you, it may be an interesting option. This is a simple model, those with low profile, but it supports the key technologies of the moment, as DirectX 10 as well as OpenGL 2.1 , and even it can give an improved performance of some applications and games. Like its direct competitor, the Radeon 4550 , this card has 512 MB of dedicated memory, but is standard DDR2 and not DDR3 as the basic models of ATI . It can be placed in a PCI Express slot and goes well with a desktop small form factor. The controller occupies only one slot and requires no extra power, and does not require a violent source. According to the manufacturer, a 55-watt already solves the parade. For comparison the GeForce 9500 GT integrate 32 stream processors, with clock frequency of 550 MHz GPU and 800 MHz for video memory. switching to more powerful video cards, always belonging to the GeForce 9 family, are 64 stream processors in the GeForce 9600 GT, GeForce 9800 GT 112 in ones and 128 in the GeForce 9800 GTX. Well, aesthetically it is really ugly, but beauty is not everything. Overall a good product from my point of view.

If we compare Ati 5770 with the 4670 GPU that is smaller more energy saving about 61 Watts and 14 Watts maximum at rest. The GPU provides the same virtues that any of the 5000 generation, DirectX 11, UVD2, angle independent anisotropic filtering, anti-aliasing supersampler "Eyefinity image to distribute many monitors (one DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort), etc. The price range is just where it enters the plate to win, u $ s 99 in the U.S. is obvious that there is a niche that has been very profitable for AMD in previous years because in this segment sold 66% of its products. To reduce the cost of 40nm production and reduced the price of the reports this board is even cheaper to produce than the 4670 which improves AMD gains and assemblers. The board has a 775MHz GPU with Redwood to GDDR5 memory at 1GHz (which would be 4 GHz of bandwidth) to the data bus 128-bit. This provides a total bandwidth of 64GB/seg. With the refinement of the etching of the GPU and the use of GDDR5, the consumption of our machines pixels has been greatly improved. In two options, 512Mb and 1Gb and that bandwidth will be half board in the computation but offers the same as a high ranking in memory. The memory chips are the same 4, manufactured by Hynix 128MB GDDR5 with other models.The HD 5670 watts just issued by the PCI-Express. And his appetite is more than reasonable: less than 20 W 2D, 52 W in 3D. Perfect for large machines with no food. It can withheld high tempratures, but it all depends of course on the cooling solution adopted by the manufacturer. On our test model, it was the ATI fan, which, while remaining silent, came to cool the card without problem. Finish by the connectivity available on our test model: DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort. The latter allows the actuation of Eyefinity. Its a pretty good choice

It would be the obvious choice for anyone thinking of performance and cost-effective, because it costs less than 100$. But the model of the NVIDIA takes up little space in the cabinet, with an interesting option for small offices.if your idea is to enable the PC to run games heavier now, you better get another card. The 9400 GT just endured the simpler games with decent video settings. To measure performance, we used a software called FRAPS counter frames. Here, then, the results of GeForce with five of today's most important titles. This is one of the most demanding of games set in 3D graphics. Here, we have exactly the same performance of the Radeon 4550 , with an average of 12 frames per second. With the resolution of 1280 by 1024 pixels, you can play, but slow. In the test, the anti-aliasing was turned off and the video effects were in the middle. The technical characteristics of these new GPUs are partly taken from those of the GeForce 9500 GT, NVIDIA recently introduced. We find a unified shader architecture with full support for DirectX 10, GPU clock frequency of 500 MHz, memory clock of 400 MHz and 16 stream processors integrated into the GPU, the operating clock frequency of 1,400 MHz memory bus will continue to be by 128bit wide, with DDR2 modules.

Small but mighty, the HD 5670 is sold pretty cheap and generally remains effective for a map of his size. However, it quickly shows its limits, especially when the HD is reached. Although slightly more efficient than Nvidia's GT 240, these cards are neck and neck in many of our test tracks. Not enough to rule in favor of one or the other definitively. The Radeon HD 5670 is one of the newest graphics chips from AMD, and today we will test the HIS IceQ version (H567Q512), which comes with an excellent cooling system, 512 MB GDDR5 and works with standard clocks. Video cards based on Radeon HD 5670 with 512 MB can be found in the U.S. costing between $ 85 and $ 90 (this model from HIS can be found for $ 84 at Newegg.com), which places them in the similarly priced Radeon HD 5570 ($ 85) and GeForce GT 240 ($ 90). In this price range you can also find video cards "old" as the GeForce 9600 GT ($ 90), GeForce 9800 GT ($ 95) and Radeon HD 4670 ($ 95). It is important to note that these are average prices, and you can find products to sell for more or less. In addition to low electricity consumption it has advanced low power consuming technique according to ATI, good news for configurations with an average power supply. After passing through the laboratory, our opinion is fairly divided. However, at such a cheap rate it is decent raphics card. it does not matter whether both 1280 x 1024 pixels than 1680 x 1050, HD 5670 is heat its processors to deliver a gaming experience more enjoyableit is difficult to be choosy!

Am I missing something here? The 9400 and the HD5670 as far as I'm aware, are not even in the same league! Here's a set of results for the Passmark G3D Mark test on a bunch of cards:
Note that the 9400 scored 429 while the HD5670 scored 1212! Thats a pretty huge diff.

Thx for the feedback bro!!! just bought amd & m happy with its performance..cheers!
