Which Graphics Card Should I Select? AMD Radeon HD 5670 or 6670?

[Rohan Tej]

I know both of them are almost same. But Which one will be better for me?

According to Game-Debate.com, HD5670 is best for my PC. Which one should I buy?

MY PC SPECS:
Intel E5500 Dual Core 2.8GHz
4GB DDR2 Ram
250GB HDD
Asus PK5PL - AM Motherboard
PCIe x16 2.0 Slot

Not as much, even the staff here that do the reviews would tell you that they favor the 5670 due to the gddr5 that it has over the 6670 that has barely half the bandwidth.

What are the prices? Used/NIB? If the 6670 that you are looking at is like $40 than it is worth it but if the 5670 is near the same price then go with the older card. What board do you have?

It is hard to find a 5670 at all except one or two on eBay :/
Would have gotten one my self if I had found one at a reasonable price but the 6670 is overpriced. For the same price as a new 6670 I can buy a used gtx 460 256bit and often find a used GT640 for $10-15 less.

In my country, 5670 costs about Rs.4500 and 6670 costs Rs.5500. Since There is no big noticeable difference between these two cards, then I'll go with 5670. I have 6450 now and I'll sell it and buy a new one!

If that 5670 is a GDDR5 model then go for it! AMD cards love bandwidth and for good reasons but the 6670 just don't have enough as gddr3 is just too slow for such a card.
