Two cards for now

Force3D is the first AIB partner to announce its HD 4600 series cards, at least officially. For now, Force3D will only have two cards, the Radeon HD 4650 and the Radeon HD 4670. Both cards will be cooled by the same small fan and both will work at reference clocks.

The Force3D Radeon HD 4670 is based on ATI's RV730XT GPU which works at 750MHz and the card comes equipped with 512MB of GDDR3 memory working at 1,746MHz. The memory on this card is clocked below the reference 2,000MHz clock, but we aren't sure if this is a PR mistake or just the case with Force3D due to the use of a rather small fan for such card.

The Force3D Radeon HD 4650, or RV730Pro, works at 600MHz for the GPU and comes with 512MB of DDR2 memory clocked at 800MHz. Both of the cards will have a 128-bit memory interface and 320 processing units. Other noted features are support for DirectX 10.1, PCI-Express 2.0 and ATI's CrossfireX technology.

Force3D might have another card based on the RV730 GPU as they did mention the 1GB of memory in their press release.

Here are the pictures of these two cards.
