Get an extra $17 and get this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102941

Its a 6770, and will give you in some cases double the performance of the 6670

In a lot of cases the difference between the 6670 and the 6770, is 20 FPS to 32 FPS, so it can make the difference between choppy and smooth playback.

I'd recommend the 6770 or the GTX 550 too but if it's too steep on price for you get the 5770 (which is basically the same card) but it's older. Louder, Hotter, requires more powerful power supply.

If you can crossfire get another 5670 and crossfire it with your current 5670. It did better then the $150 GTX 450 I just got.

If you can't crossfire it then save $10 and get the 5770.

EDIT: I added up tax & shipping for you for the 5770 which brings it to the grand total of $124.05

ALSO, If you're going to crossfire the 5670 you need to make sure your current 5670 is crossfire ready (don't know how) and the one you buy has to be one. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102870&cm_re=5670-_-14-102-870-_-Product

Actually Xrain is right, that sapphire 6770 does beat the card you want. Get that instead.

Core clocks dont matter on a vid card.
So doesnt on a Cpu.
To many factors to account now.

Anyways, go beat up a kid and get 20$. Ya
