10 I got a Sapphire HD6670 Ultimate edition (passively cooled) which works
11 beautifully in all things that I use it for (desktop, games, video). I
12 picked the radeon 6670 (Northern Islands chip, "Turks" to be specific)
13 because it's the latest chip with the best mesa support (Southern
14 Islands chips 3D support is work-in-progress at the moment) and I'm
15 happy with it.
