DIAMOND 7870PE52G Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card

Pros: Quiet, Looks Awesome Gets the job done

Cons: Huge card make sure you know you have a good amount of space, and i had to send the card back because it kept crashing my computer blue screening it. ever sense instillation but Newegg took care of it.

Other Thoughts: If you want a card that's reasonably priced buy this card

Pros: Great overclocker, 15% on stock voltage!
New beta driver makes it even faster (huge gains in BF3)
Maxes out the most demanding titles, BF3, Far Cry 3, Metro 2033, Crysis 1 and 2. Diamond offers a sweet 5 year warranty! And for me the reference design was a pro. I want the hot air out of my case to keep my CPU nice and cool. Also the sticker on the cooler looks pretty cool, not overly done. Also for the price you can't beat its performance, this card is an amazing value!

Cons: No voltage control like other manufacturers, still overclocks like a champ though.

Reference design can be loud, especially when overclocked. Not an issue for me though, just know what you're getting into.

Other Thoughts: The rest of my specs:

Core 2 Quad Extreme QX9770 @ 4.00GHz
4GB DDR3 1600, 750W Aerocool PSU, Windows 8 Pro x64
Gaming at 1920x1200

Pros: very quiet and great design, fits great on my silencio 550

Cons: no problemo amigo.

Other Thoughts: great construction.

Pros: I was worried about how this card would work with my Dell XPS 8500, purchased at COSTCO. It snaps right in and seems to run my games at max settings. I have not tried video editing yet, but the card is a major improvement from the gt620 that comes stock in this pc. I also installed 16GB patriot memory and the power supply seems to handle it just fine. You will get conflicting info from dell as to compatibility of the 7870, but they do sell them installed with the same PSU. Also drivers worked right out of the box.

Cons: the fan is louder than the gt620 I replaced, not a problem for me.

Other Thoughts: Connectors were tight, and I did swap one from my old HDD(also installed)to clear the top of the 7870.

Pros: Great GPU ! just to think that I paid $60 two years ago for a 5850 it's quite amazing. The price/performance of these cards continues to improve as the years go by.

1. Excellent performance at 1920x1200 in all games I tested.
2. Not as noise as my previous card.
3. Temps are stable even when it's overclocked (not necessary).
4. CAN YOU SEE 5 YEARS WARRANTY !!! Say WHAT ? .. NICE

Cons: 1. It's a big card. ( Beware if you have mid towers or small factor )
2. Power hungry - You'll still need to power connections for this puppy
3. NO GAMES coupon? The add said that you get two free games, but newegg is out certificates !... how does that happen? I cant really fault the card for this.... this one is all on newegg. The card still gets 5/5.

Other Thoughts: This card is well worth the money. Just remember to register it with Diamond so that you'll get the full 5 YEARS of warranty. I could not find another brand that would even come close to that generous offering.

Pros: none, black screen

Cons: No combination of video connections would give me any type of display. Computer is booting fine, but nothing but black screens.

Pros: -Looks cool while exhausting hot air out the back.
-Gave me no trouble and drivers installed flawlessly.
-Runs supreme commander FA, Civilization 4 & 5, First decade, and other games without stuttering.
-Price per performance is great with this card.

Cons: None as of yet although I haven't tried pushing or overclocking yet.

Other Thoughts: I don't think it's loud but I also have an antec 1100 case with stock amd cooler. Before this card I ran Crossfired 4870's which were much louder. So i'd say noise is more relative on these.

Pros: Very nice card runs all my games smooth. Bf3 is around 65-90fps on ultra. Easy overclock as well!

Cons: None so far

Other Thoughts: I upgraded to this card from HIS radon had 6870. I wasent expecting such a drastic increase in performance. This thing blew my mind when I started gaming.

Pros: Amazing detail. This runs smoother on ultra than my least card did on low. It's pretty quiet and is really cool looking. I'm so impressed with this card, I couldn't even believe it when I ran my first game on it.

Cons: Huge! It almost didn't fit in my case but after arranging my cables a bit I got it in.

Other Thoughts: You will not regret getting this card. For $300 you would expect this to run amazing and lucky enough, it does.

Pros: This card is really good. Runs all games on max and looks nice too! Really large sized card, which cool I guess. Enough VRAM, 2GB!

Cons: None!
