Nice card

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: It's a 4870. It has no problems with anything I throw at it. Performs quite well under CCC and can tweak it all to H3ll
Cons: 66% of the heat from the sink dumps back into the computer case. that's the ONLY con!
Other Thoughts: Sapphire has made newer versions that have a more traditional heat sink on them that exhausts ALL of the air out the back, where it's suppose to go anyway.

Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Been rolling with this and an AMD phenom II 720 BE for a little while now, and that and 4gb of mem is an excellent combination. No problems running any video games so far on this best... Fallout 3 at 1680x1050 all maxed out runs excellent, FEAR 2 all maxed out at same res. I've skipped crysis... it's a beautiful game but it's too much of a hog - plus Farcry 2 looks just as amazing if you ask me, and this card runs that perfectly.
Cons: When I first powered on my system with this and a 550 watt OCZ fatal1ty power supply, the system would post and reboot endlessly without giving video output. I was so confused at first, but I ended adjusting and reseating my memory and that fixed it, so I can't really say it's a con of this card - should probably not even be saying this here. Also, you may notice only having 512 mb of memory on this card if you use a higher resolution, but no biggie, just go grab one of those 1GB models and it should handle it without trouble.
Other Thoughts: These 4870s are THE bang for the buck. I can't imagine that twice the price (or more) for a 285 or even the extra price for a 275 from NV is worth the extra frames in games... but don't get me wrong, I love NV and I love ATI - when it comes down to it, they're a match made in heaven even if they're competitors. :)

Tech Level Tech Level: average - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
Pros: Runs all of my games on max setting, minor lag issues on max settings when playing Gears of War, other then that I can play Fallout 3, NBA 2K9, Left 4 Dead all on max settings with no lag. This is an absolute great card and even when playing games the max temp I have seen it get to is 58 degrees Celsius and I have the fan set to 75% and it is extremely quit compared to the 4850 I used to have, that ran at like 99 degrees Celsius when playing games.
Cons: I really have no cons with this card I mean this is one solid card.
Other Thoughts: Great product and a great price, only 30 dollars more then a 4850.
