Visiontek vs Diamond GPUs (Help please)

I just picked up the Visiontek 4670 1GIG, instead of the Diamon since it was a little cheaper, the card is pretty weird since it doesn't need an additional power source from a 6 pin.
It looks good, except WoW seizes up when I'm in Dalaran, is it the brand of the card, or something else?

Can you return the card? The 4670 1gig is kind of a rip off man. You will never, ever use that 1gig of memory on that card. If you can return it and shop around for a 4850 512 should be able to find it around the same price. Also Visontek and Diamond are both solid companys. I believe Diamond has the better RMA prosess though. As far as siezing in Dal that may be inadiquate cooling on the card. Try using Riva tuner and setting the GPU fan to 100%. I believe ATI tool can be used also.

Thanks for the response Ounu,
My problem is that my PS isn't beefy enough to run those other cards, so if I picked one of those up, I'd also have to fork out the dough for a new PS.
A 4850 only needs one six pin conector. A 550 watt supply should only be around 65-70 bucks, my corsair 650 was 89 and I drive a gtx 295 with it. If that is what you got to work with though check out the cooling on it and make sure the heat sink and fan make contact with the GPU. Could be the Heatsink poped off, ATI and some Nvidia cards on the low end are known to do that. If you still can figure it out check out these forums they are a wealth of knowledge

Actually, I've gotten things stable enough now, I tried some of the stuff the mods suggested on the offical forums... But my fps are very poor, 9fps in Dal and about 14 to 24 anywhere else.
