Conclusion:

ATI continues to be on a roll and these cards are no different with the 4600 and 4500 series. Sapphire's overclocked also seems to help a lot, it is just barely under a Radeon 4670 and the 4550 sees at least a few frames per second boost in games. The bundle isn't great but that's  to be expected with cards such as these. Overall we'd have to say Sapphire has done a very good job with them we're glad to see DDR and GDDR3 in use on these budget cards to give them a slight boost.

Pricing:

Pricing is a little murkey because can't find either of these cards for sale currently at e-tailers. If the 4650 can come in under $10-15 of the 4670 it'll be a success and the low-profile GDDR3 version of the 4550 no more than $5-10. Of course if you need a low-profile card though it might be worth it to pay more. Currently we can find a standard Sapphire 4550 for $69 and a 4650 for $75. The 4650 or 4670 cards definitely are the much better and smarter buy at this point offering much more performance for little more in cost.
