MSI R4870-T2D512 Radeon HD 4870 512MB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card - Retail

Reviewed By: Barry on 3/1/2009

Tech Level: average - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Bought this because of MSI's reputation and warranty, plus it was the cheapest 4870 with a decent warranty. Silent too with this cooler. Maxes everything I've thrown at it (though I run at 1680x1050 and haven't tried the latest games).

Cons: Runs hot with this cooler as well, but I have a fan mounted nearby to exhaust hot air.

Other Thoughts: When I clicked purchase, Newegg started offering this card with a free game. I've been struck by the "should have waited" curse.
