- Pros: Very good card. It does what it is suppose to do. I am very satisfied with the performance. I went with 512MB version since I'm using it with 1680x1050 monitor. It even has an auto-tune feature for automatically overclocking the video card. Card has also been very stable. Glad I made the switch from N_____.
- Cons: It runs hot. It will easily reach 72-75c. However the latest ATI drivers allow you to set the speed of the fan. With my former Antec P160 case, I use to set the fan to 40%. Temps were around 56-57c. Now with the Antec 1200 I have the speed set to 32% and I get around 52-54c. It all depends on the air flow and room temperatures.
- Other Thoughts: I will be picking up a second card down the road so that I can use it in crossfire setup. Never done multiple gpu before. Looking forward to it.

- Pros: Silky Smooth gaming. Hammers everythiing i play:
cod4, cod5, tf2, L4D,TRU - Maxed to the hilt. (more power than needed for those titles)
GDDR5
not a saphire
- Cons: not a power sponge, but at a time when every component on the market seems to use less and less electricity, ati joins nvidia in reversing that trend.
paid $100 more for my old hd3870
cannot wash my laundry virtually
- Other Thoughts: Fan is not that Loud, think about how your case is built.
small cases will make it louder. I run my fan speed at 60% constant, and it isnt that bad.
(42 C idle, 48 C load which isnt that hot for a vidcard)
latest drivers offer fan speed control which is a big plus.
The 3870 i used to run had no fan speed control without 3rd party garbage (rivajunk).
Single cards will always out perform crossfire/sli in fps
and render speed. check tomshardware.
e8400 stock
4gb ddr2 8500 @1200mhz

550 watt (earthwatts) antec
- Pros: Works fine, no problems.
- Cons: Stock cooler is a bit on the loud side when taken above 40%.
- Other Thoughts: This was added to my rig to utilize 4870 Crossfire. Haven't overclocked this card yet as I'm waiting on my waterblock for it. Then it should be able to hit 800/3960 like my primary 4870.
