It seemed like a very affordable option for 1GB and GDDR5, but I'd be interested to know how it works out for you. Especially for SC II.


It's inexpensive, DX11, doesn't require a dedicated power line to be plugged in from the power supply, and has a much lower profile than the more powerful cards. In all, I think the 5670 will do quite nicely with SC2 since, as I said to Aemon, my biggest problem is rendering terrain texture - a situation much different in WoW than SC2.

I think I just need to optimize the card's and game's settings', and it will work out very well.
