is this one ok for mild gaming, for use on a 400w psu.
is it better than an agp 1gb radeon hd 3850?
is it better than a pci-express geforce 6800 ultra?
how many pci power connectors does it need?
is it silent?

I have to disagree with this choice, as it is the DDR2 version. XFX has the best warranty available, but imo that isn't worth the performance hit versus the DDR3 version of the card. Also of note, the 4670 can't make use of more than 512mb of memory anyway, so trading up to 1gb memory while trading down to DDR2 would only be a negative comparison.

That card will do what you want without any problems. I will say, always read the newegg reviews on them. Their rating system is usually pretty good. If it is rated 4 or 5 eggs, it is probably decent. And the guy in one of them mentions running most of the COD games at pretty high settings without any problems. And I checked my sources for this card, and newegg beat them all lol. That sucks. I don't think you will find a better bang for the buck that you want to spend.
