^ Lol.  But yeah, typically a previous gen high end card will outperform a current gen low-mid range card.
The 3850 should easily beat a 4670.

Though the HD4670 seems to perform a bit better than my old 7800GT

Well on the plus side, my blue computer room doesn't get so hot i need a window open to play games.

I do get higher max fps in games, but it seems to choke a bit when there are mutliple vehicles blowing up in front of me, or im stuck in a barrage of artillary falling from the sky.

I don't know..something about the spec of this card when i was looking at the 4670s  made me think it was going to be an upgrade from the 3850 :-/

Newer generation cards do support more things - just the mid-low range cards are just designed to perform worse (also allows older stock to be cleared out), but they will generate less heat / require less power than high end cards.
My 4670 performs well, except the fan's a bit noisy for my taste (so I disconnected it + downclocked the thing as far as I could push it down).  Probably wouldn't use CrossFire though - since you did a trade, I guess you didn't have much choice, though if you were to buy a new card, would've gone for a single higher end card (ie 4850) since it requires less power.

ouch. *hides in shame*

This is bullchocolate.

I just downloaded and installed the WM Encoder (x64 version). And PCMark still says I don't have it.

Maybe I have to have the 32bit version?

PCMark is 32-bit, thus you need to use the 32-bit package.

Heh, took my brothers power supply (since mine blew up), and did the test.

Not too shabby I think considering my system cost me $477AU all together.

Note that this is run on integrated graphics, so if I actually had a graphics card, I would've gotten a much higher score. Don't really need a GPU since all I do is watch vids, encode vids, and use internet.

EDIT: These are old results. For newest results, go here

I'm not even going to bother with 3DMark. Integrated graphics = I would ultra-fail that.
