Diamond Radeon HD 4870 512MB
- Pros: Great graphics quality when it runs, FC2 Highest Settings @ 40-60 FPS, Crysis Gamer Level @ 30-50 FPS. Cheap, compared to the high-ranking Nvidia cards.
- Cons: Can run very hot, crashes often, the drivers are quite glitchy.
The crashing gets progressively worse, up until you have to use the ATi Overclocking Utility to actually Under-Clock the card to lowest settings. It's gotten to the point where it still will crash.
- Other Thoughts: My PC:
CPU; Intel E8500 OC'ed at 4.00 GHz
Mobo; Gigabyte X48-DS4
Video Card; Diamond Radeon HD 4870
Sound Card; Creative X-Fi T1tanium
HDD; 1TB Seagate, 7200 RPM - 150GB HP, 7200 RPM
CD/DVD; Samsung Super Write-Master
PSU; 750W Corsair
RAM; 4GB Corsair Dominator
Case; Thermaltake Armor VA8003BWS Full-Black.
OS; Windows XP Professional, Windows 7, Linux Kubuntu
My first PC build, also. Now I repair and build them all the time. :D
Decent but meh
- Pros: Its fast and has software with it to adjust the fan speed along with the gpu/mem clocks, but.....
- Cons: In my estimation, using the ati overdrive feature to increase clock speed is ill advised. In fact, due to a fried hard drive. I had to reinstall and found that with the most recent set of drivers, for one reason or another, the higher you have the clock speed set in the over drive, the more likely one will have a crash of the card driver. Playing eve online, as thats the only game on the comp at the moment, would force, whether off the bat or eventually after some playtime, the card driver to crash and reset display to 800x600. So I am wondering about a different card or not.
- Other Thoughts: Due to some misplacement, there are a few random hard ware drivers I have yet to install, but still, as it seems to be fairly regularly the video card drivers that seem to conflict, not sure how though.
ATI is a good video set, just that I think they could use additional time to figure up programing that won't crash when someone wants high speed. Advice would be appreciated.
Great card
- Pros: Runs anything. I've not met a game this thing does not crush.
I've got two monitors right now, each in 1680 x 1050, and it will run crysis in the left at max settings at 40~ fps, even if i have a video or something going in the right screen.
If you play world of warcraft, forget about lag. I maxed absolutley every setting in wow and it stays at exactly 60 fps- which I think is the max.
- Cons: None.
- Other Thoughts: ATI writes drivers ridiculously fast. I downloaded the windows 7 beta, and used it for three days, and on the fourth day an auto update came up asking me if i'd like to install a new version of the drivers specifically designed for windows 7 performance increases.
