Which R series Radeon is equal to the Radeon HD 6670?
Thank You

Lowest model in the new series is R9 260X. This is much better than the 6670.

You can consult the hierarchy chart here - > http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-card-review,3107-7.html

You will see the DDR5 and DDR3 versions of the 6670 are quite a few tiers below the R9 260X.

The lowest model is R7 240 or 250, and both are a bit better than the 6670. Maybe not huge jumps ahead, but still a decent bump up from it.

R7-240 is virtually equal with a 6670

Looking at the performance specs on wikipedia, the R7 240 is a step down from the 6670.
The R7 250 looks like a slight improvement.

R7 250 sounds great, but still can't find info if that works with the current API/GPU config for the A-10 CPU crossfire instead of the 6670 that pairs with the 7660D. Confused? I am

magneezo, it will work with crossfire.
It is not officially supported, because the APU's currently use the 6000 series of graphics cards in them. However, look around and you will find plenty of reports of people using a 7790, a 7770, 7750, and a 7730 in crossfire with the integrated graphics on the APU.
In fact when the 7730 came out Tomshardware did a review of it, and another review testing it against the 6670 and testing them both in crossfire with the APU's. The R7 250 is pretty much just a rebadged 7730.

Also if you have one of the FM2/FM2+ motherboards, the next generation APU will have 7000 series graphics and most likely perform better in crossfire with the R7 250.

You should know though, that according to the article I mentioned earlier, they found while FPS went up, a lot of the video still looked choppy. So you might be better off getting a higher quality card. 7850's are quite cheap at current.
