AMD appears to be attacking the entry-level and mainstream graphics card market with a vengeance. The chip maker last week rolled out is ultra-affordable Radeon HD 6450 priced at $59, which coincided with the launch of Nvidia's budget-oriented GeForce GT 520. Now AMD is following up that launch with the release of two more sub-$100 videocards, the Radeon HD 6570 and 6670.
According to PCMag.com, the Radeon HD 6570 sells for $79 and boasts 480 stream processors, 24 texture units, 8 ROPs, a 650MHz engine clock, and either 512MB-2GB of DDR3 clocked at 900MHz or 512MB-1GB of GDDR5 clocked at 1000MHz, both on a 128-bit memory bus.
Meanwhile, the Radeon HD 6670 sells for $99 and features many of the same specs, but comes clocked at 800MHz (engine) and includes 512MB-1GB of GDDR5 clocked at 1000MHz, also on a 128-bit interface.

I get so mad* when companies pull this kind of dishonest branding. The 6570 is not comparable to the 5570 or the 4570. It would be more accuratly considered the 6370. I also hate how they call thier mid range cards 6870s.
I almost fell into this trap when I thought I was getting a good deal on a 6970 (I was thinking of the equivilent to the 5970 or 4870x2). Fortunatly I checked the specs online before the deal went through.
* not mad enough to stop buying ati (amd) cards though.
