Ive always been under the impression that the higher model number means a better card.
I've used a radeon hd 4670 with excellent results, however I think I can do better then that for the price.
So I've been going through the models comparing the prices and using this site to compare them, but I dont know how accurate is.

It says some cards of higher models still are lacking in some areas that lower models excell in....so im at a loss now, and I CANNOT afford to spend more then $110 with shipping so this is what I've been looking at.

I like it because I still have the old vga output on the chance I take my tower to a friends house and use an old monitor, Although at home I would use the hdmi output

I like it for the same reason, and according to what I've read its supposed to blow the 4670 out of the water, but then again that site says the clocks are a bit slower in all areas, but it does good in other areas
and my last resort would just get a 4670, which I've used before, but I don't like to buy new items unless its an upgrade.
