Noise
One of the benefits of a IceQ cooler is that it's beautifully quiet. Even when being stressed to the max with our Far Cry 2 bench at "Ultra High" settings, I could barely hear it.
Cost
The HIS 4670 has quite a varied price range, with some etailers selling it for around £65, while others have it listed at £90. The average price seems to be around £70 however, so if you do purchase this, make sure to shop around to find the best deal as the prices really do vary.
Conclusion
While the 4670 might not be the greatest card out there, it does ok for what it costs. Ideally, when compared with the other cards shown here today, I'd recommend you go that little bit further and buy either the 4850 version, or the 9800GT as they represent much better bang for buck.
That said, the 4670 has a lot going for it, with it's super quiet and effective cooler, and it's snappy looks, you could do worse; but with a few extra pounds, you could do a lot better.
