Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: This is a wicked fast card that can do anything. The card also has a sleek design. You could also heat a small house with this card.

Cons: Diamond has the worse tech support ever. a number of these cards are defective. when the card is working its amazing, but it is very pro to overheating and a few other defects. When my card failed, i emailed Diamond a number of times and never received an email back. I also never received my rebate. Luckily for me, Newegg has superb customer service and i got my card refunded.

Other Thoughts: Don't buy diamond, they used to be the best video card manufacturer back in the day, but by today's standards have slipped considerably.

Pros: none, shipping speed was fast unlike the motherboard I have been waiting on from newegg since NOV. 2008!!!!

Cons: Item was defective

Other Thoughts: hopefully I can get a refund or a replacement, I have normally have good products from newegg but lately they have let me down majorly. I got sick of waiting since Nov. 2008 on a motherboard I had ordered from newegg so I went to a local shop and ordered the part and had it the next day then I take my video card to get installed and it does not work!

Pros: looks nice

Cons: this card is really inferior to the gtx 295 i have both cards.. on crysis with maxed out setting the 4870x2 frames are like 0-17 fps on the gtx 295 i see 17-50 fps.. MAXED OUT SETTINGS EVERYTHING AA AND ALL

ccc9.1 sucks
hd4870x2 is full of bugs.... most duel gpu cards are though

Other Thoughts: eather get a gtx 295 285 or a reg 4870... the x2 is not the greatest on performance and its stupid how u cant disable a gpu easily
