5 out of 5 eggsMe likey

Pros: Fast
Crossfire adds 20+ fps

Cons: Big
Power hungry
Fans can get noisy

Other Thoughts: No problems. Over clocking is so minimal there's no need. No matter what others say, these bad boys work great in CF. Only glitch I saw was in Crysis 2 on the water effects. Otherwise no issues.

5 out of 5 eggsVisiontek HD5870

Pros: Great card. It replaced a GTX260. First time buying an ATI card and not disappointed. Using the XtremeG 10.6 ATI drivers. Good overclocker. Temps are better than I expected. Lifetime warranty, cannot beat that.

Cons: None so far.

Other Thoughts: It is different than what is pictured. It has a big heatsink and you can see the copper heat pipes. Shroud does not cover the whole heatsink. Looks meaner.

5 out of 5 eggsHD5870 by VisionTek

Pros: Fast, fast, fast. Replaced an 8800GT that I used for a long time. I thought that card was good! This card handles any possible game I have with no issues. Crysis WH @ 1920x1080, full enthusiast and AF, no AA, no lag. Probably could run 2, 4x AA with no lag as well but I hardly need AA as it is. I could only imagine CF with these cards, but it's hardly needed as one is insanely powerful.

Cons: None so far. Fan is extremely loud but never runs fast enough to make a ton of noise.

Other Thoughts: I have had no issues with heat yet as well. The poster who gave 1 egg for overheating must have had a problem with their onboard fan or heatsink. Running in an Azza case with plenty of airflow coupled with an i7 930 and 6Gb Crucial DDR3 on an EVGA X58 mobo.

Don't bother with the GTX480's unless you absolutely need PhysX, this card is plenty fast enough and $100 cheaper.

5 out of 5 eggsHD5870

Pros: Cheapest 5870. Lifetime warranty. OC'd with MSI AB to 1000/1300 right now with a slight voltage increase.

I came from 2 4870's and this 5870 is faster, quiter and way better looking.

Cons: Huge. Fits in my HAF932 good tho.

I wanted a sticker but didnt get one.

Other Thoughts: Bought mine from M*C* cuz Newegg was sold out.

$400+

5 out of 5 eggsAmazing!!

Pros: This card is a beast! I upgraded from a GTX 260, and I will never look back. I was holding out for a GTX 480 until I saw early specs and price. For the money, you can not beat this card. I only hope newegg gets these back in stock soon so I can grab another for crossfire! I'm getting 70FPS+ on BC2 with everything MAXED. Steady 35FPS in Crysis and Warhead MAXED!! Power consumption and heat are a non-issue. Scires a 7.8 in Windows Experience Index! I LOVE THIS CARD!!!!!!

Cons: No additional software for overclocking outside of Catalyst, which isn't really much of an over clock. Not like its needed anyways....

5 out of 5 eggsNICE!

Pros: Took a chance on a cheaper card...glad I did! Idles at 30*C and never sees 50. Tripled my performance in BFBC2 over my HD 4890. No stickers....just plain goodness.

Cons: none yet

Other Thoughts: BSOD when I first installed but I was uninstalling old drivers(10.2) at the time. No issues since new drivers were installed just plain fast

5 out of 5 eggsDecent

Pros: This card runs cool, the driver based auto fan control isnt very accurate in that the temperature of the GPU doesnt always make the fan go at the appropriate speed. but catalyst allows you to manually set the fan speed. at 100% fan speed it will idle at around 24C. Im sure this will vary depending on your cases air flow but thats what i get. under load it goes to around 50-58C after a couple hours of Dirt2.

Cons: fan speed at 100% is very loud.

Other Thoughts: Card performs beautiful. Now that Nvidias cards are released we now see 5850s eat gtx 470s alive. 470s are WAY more expensive and perform poorly next to these cards, way hotter and use way more power. However, if your looking at ATI i do suggest another brand other than visiontek if fan noise is a concern for you.

5 out of 5 eggs

Pros: plays any modern game at max everything with a constant high fps @ 1900x1080. compared to an nvidia 470/480; quiet low power consumption low heat when idle or under full load. at ~$400 shipped with a lifetime warranty this card was a steal at the time. seeing it sold out now makes this card that much sweeter. easy five eggs.

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: card is very long. case must accept an 11 inch long card. read the card specs for dimensions and teh length is not an issue. got a lancool dragonlord k56 and fit the 5870 in with room to spare.

1 out of 5 eggs

Pros: Cheapest 5870 I could find.

Cons: You get what you pay for. Card overheats after 30 seconds of gaming. Have to send back for a replacement, looks like it's out of stock, going to have to wait awhile to get a working replacement back. Huge bummer. Boo.

Other Thoughts: First and last Vision Tek card I will ever buy.
