As stated before, this card supports all of the same features that you will find on the higher end cards. Lets take a closer look at the specifics of the card compared to similar cards.

Specifications

Specification	5670	GT220	4670
Core Clock (MHz)	775	720	750
# of Shaders	400	48	320
Shader Clock (MHz)	775	1566	750
Memory Size (MB)	1024	1024	512
Memory Bus (bit)	128	128	128
Memory Clock (MHz)	1000	800	1000
Memory Type	GDDR5	DDR3	GDDR3

The 5670 may look as though it has a disadvantage when it comes to memory clock, but GDDR5 is quad pumped, so in reality the RAM is running at 4000 MHz. That makes the 5670 look a lot more competitive to the 4670. On paper it looks like the GT220 has a huge disadvantage since it has less than a third of the shaders of the 4670, but the higher clock helps make up for this disadvantage. Now lets take a look at the 5670 itself.
