4350 Vs. 4650

[cynicoren]

Hi,
Need a card for a computer that will be used rather rarely (maybe 1 hour a week) for gaming. The price difference is not big, but how is it with performance ? Are the differences big ? couldn't find a chart to compare the two.
Thank you

Don't get either. Get a 9600GSO See: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121320
$40 after MIR.

Or a 4670.

The difference between the 4350 and the 4650 is substantial. The 4650 has 4 times the amount of steam processors and uses GDDR3 no GDDR2 which is FAR better. You wont do much gaming with a 4350, but a 4650 is basically the lowest card that can be considered a gaming card on the market. The 4650 is very similar, in performance, to the 8800 GTS 320mb.
