Yeah guys, we are in 2009 and Pentium 4 systems still lives. I have one and I was thinking in leaving but by accident I saw a video card from His that combines high performance of new gpu from amd ati with older interface of agp system. I read bad reviews about this product, for example drivers stability.
I decided for this one and buy His Radeon HD 4670. The result: it has been worked without troubles for two mounths in my Older Pentium 4 Presscot 3 gigas socket 478 with agp port in windows xp media center edition 2005 and 2 gigas of memory system. Now, I can see high definition videos and play ultimate games for windows. For example Resident Evil 5, Medal of Honor Airbone and Crisis. They are played in high resolution 1080p smoothly!!!!
OF Course I have a powerfull system in spite of being Pentium 4.

This is an excellent card to upgrade older computers using the AGP video connection. Graphics are superb and gameplay is very smooth. Left4dead2 looks great.

I purchased this card for my son’s AMD Athalon 3000, gigabyte MB, 1G memory, Windows XP Pro. I didn’t want to build a new computer so purchased this to hopefully extend the life of the computer another couple of years before a new build.
Nice specs, but very buggy install. Caution, It will take over your system sound if you install the HDMI sound driver, so uncheck the sound driver box on custom install, and disable it in the device manager. Also, ATI udated Catalyst driver 9.8 will not recognize the card. You must install Catalysit Hot fix for Radeon 4000 series cards. Otherwise the HSI indcluded driver will run very slowly.
After any driver install the computer runs extremely slowly and hangs. Force a hard reboot and it will load properly after that.
In summary, nice card, it works very well for the more challenging on-line games, but you must know what you are doing to get it to work and update drivers.
14 Nov. Update to my initial review.
I ended up returning this card. Never worked properly, and yes, at least on my system, it screwed up the existing sound to the point I had to reinstall and uninstall and disable the included sound.
There are better options out there. Do not buy this card.

Others have noted the driver installation issues. I’m running Windows XP Pro, and I encountered these as well, but managed to install the packaged drivers eventually. They worked fine once installed. I also installed the audio HDMI drivers. These caused some issues, since they overrode some default audio driver settings; if you’re not using speakers built into your monitor, this will disable your speakers. Fortunately, it’s relatively easy to go through the control panel sound settings for each user and make sure they are set back to the drivers previously in use.
Other than these installation issues, this card has been a pleasure to use, with good rendering characteristics. It replaces my failing ATI Radeon 9800 XP.

I bought this card via Amazon and am extremely happy with the results. I’m using it on an older (circa 2001) Tyan S2466 dual processor AMD Athlon MP card, 2.1 Ghz, and AGP 4x. The reports about this video cards’ onboard HD sound drivers killing the mobo sound are apparently bogus. The HD drivers are loaded along with the existing drivers and they become primary, but the prior audio device is still there as secondary. Just go into Windows control panel -> sounds and audio devices -> audio tab and select the previous audio device from the 2 drop down lists. You can go back and forth between the new HD audio drivers and any existing audio drivers this way.
The “IDE-Q” cooling system, that blows the GPU heat OUT of the box rather than leaves it in – why don’t all video cards do this?? what a great idea – works wonderfully. My GPU temp on this video card is 46C, down from 58C for the old Matrox card. The temperature of both processors in the PC are down about 5 degrees C too not having all that GPU heat left in the box.
The DVI digital video quality is stunning IF YOU USE A VERY GOOD DVI CABLE! 30 years of working with computers here I can tell you from experience that using a double shielded VGA cable (each of the 3 colors individually shielded) made a huge difference on VGA cards and monitors, and that a double shielded DVI cable made a massive difference here in picture (Samsung 24 inch flat screen monitor) vs. the cheapo DVI cable that came with the monitor. Using the cheapo there was lack of sharpness, and the monitor wasn’t getting enough signal at times and kept going into standby. Switching to a 10 ft double shielded, gold contact, $20 DVI cable solved it all. Razor sharp picture and no false standy mode. Don’t cheap out on the DVI cable after buying this great card!! The DVI cable quality is as important as the card.
And the HDMI output works like a champ, too. That is going to a 42 inch flat screen TV.
I loaded the drivers on CD that came with the card first, worked great. Then loaded the update driver from the HIS site, and almost great. That loaded an additional copy of Visual C++ redistributable that I didn’t need causing a conflict (also will try to load .net 2.0 but you can opt out on this one if you already have it installed). After 3 reboots the PC sorted out its I/O memory and all worked great. Nuked the second Visual C++ redistributable in add/remove programs.
Can’t say yet if the Avivo DVD/Bluray acceleration works, since I’m having to upgrade to a WinDVD version that supports it. Also can’t say anything about gaming performance – I’m not a gamer – bought this card solely to support a future upgrade to Windows 7, get more memory on the card so I could reduce the AGP aperture size (the old 16 MB Matrox required a 256 Mb aperture to keep from locking up the PC, now I’m down to 64 MB), be able to use a DVI instead of VGA cable and get the GPU heat out of the box directly.
