6670 AMD Dual Graphics?

[Dr.Knot]

I want to upgrade from the inbuilt gpu in the A8-3870k to the dual graphics option which requires a 6670, is any type ok?

 

VTX, Saphire, Gigabyte? There is a 2gb VTX 6670 at £40, is this good?

Whats your thoughts?

Thanks

I would reccomend getting an hd 6670 that comes from a better brand. Like this : http://www.amazon.co.uk/MSI-6670-DDR3-PCI-E-Graphics/dp/B008H7T7UC/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1369492975&sr=8-11&keywords=hd+6670+ddr3

Mind you it does not come with two fans.

Thanks, but its 1gb not 2, is that worth it? I have 8gb DDr3

I don't think the hd 6670 is powerful enough to utilise 2gb of ram.

I don't recommend dual graphics because for the most part from the reviews I've seen it doesn't always scale properly.
Get an HD 7730 or 7750 instead, they'll be significantly faster than the integrated graphics & they're quite cheap too.
