I thought of buying a Radeon 4670 with 1GB DDR3 as I could afford it. Would this be a good choice as replacement for the 3650?

one of the devs had mentioned the target specs for sh5 were 8800gt or equal with 512mb onboard video ram was what they wanted to be the base minimum card to run sh5 on high settings with very reasonable fps rates.

but if i were you i would wait until sh5 is released an you know for sure, the price of video cards will be getting steadily cheaper as well so its a win win if you wait. after all another 5 months wont matter and there is no real reason to rush out and buy something in advance.

I just had a quad-core 9400 built with a Asus P5n72-T motherboard with 3 way SLI ,but only had a 1 gig card Geforce GTS 250 put in at the moment. has a built in audio card which sounds great. Only able to hear my sound through my headphones can't seam to get my sound through my speakers, at the moment going to have it checked out. Anybody have any answers. Ran the Bench Mark test with a 512 video card and scored 13200 score on it 3dMark06

on my gigabyte mobo there is a hi-def audio sound controller and a regular sound controller and they are completely seperate so you switch to the one you want.

i would check your audio control panel to select the correct speakers but also check you have the right jack plugged in and maybe your bios is set wrong.

i never had one on a video card before so maybe it needs to be plugged into the mobo to work right

Everything depends,,everythings depends, on what "line" of PC usage you're crossing.

If you cross; like I always have been doing, the 'gamers' line, then a Mid range system can kinda look like this; Intel i7-940, 4 GB Corsair DDR-3 1333 memory, 500Gb HD, Geforce GTX 295. (This is by the way a take out from what PC Gamer thinks is a mid range system, but they are pretty "head-on")
Now this is for the gamer, a mid range in that world might not be mid range in the world of let say a musician or photoshop guy, where huge amount of memory is important and other factors are less important to them compared to a gamer.

My experience with computer/PC gaming since 25 years back is just to balance the system to a stable level and you can run pretty kicked up.

....on the other hand a PC can never be too big,,,

That's not midrange, by any standard. GTX295 was top of the line, effectively "enthousiast", for some time. i7 is high end as well.

This is a highend card.
