Fast & Powerful
- Pros: Excellent card. Very fast and extremely powerful. The quality is brilliant. I play a few FPS games, but editing HD footage from my Canon HG10 is what I spend a lot of time doing. I used to have the Saphire Radeon 9600xt (4 years old). It couldn't handle even a small HD file. The 3870 X2 handles it like a pro. It performs like a high end card for a mid-market price. Can't beat it.
- Cons: Really big! Almost didn't fit in my case. It's design makes it a little bit of a problem to secure, but nothing that would deter me from buying another.
- Other Thoughts: The drivers don't play too well with Vista. It took a couple of hours of playing with it to get it to work correctly.
fast, but as sharp as it should be?
- Pros: this was a really fast card for what seems to be a reasonable cost. it replaced my sapphire hd 2600 xt & is driving 3 monitors instead of just the 2 that it was driving. actually, it is *really* fast so far. I don't play games that much anymore, but doubt I would have any difficulty at the highest rez, since I'm running all 3 monitors in 1920x1200
- Cons: ok, so i'm feeling a little bit dizzy and sick after looking at my main dvi/hdcp monitor for a couple hours after hooking this card up. My vision is a little blurry and I'm having trouble focusing. I never had that problem with the 2600 xt, in fact, it was the sharpest I had ever seen a display get; work all day long, no headaches or blurriness of vision. I'm feeling that after only a couple hours on this powercolor 3870x2. funny that my regular vga screens seems rather ok, and not too hard on my eyes. (all monitors are exactly the same)
- Other Thoughts: hmm, i may switch to the vga cable to see if it is something weird...
Great Card For The Money
- Pros: This card for the money is SWEET!! it plays all of my games on there max settings, including Crysis. with all the settings on max it hovers around 17fps on crysis. its a great card.
- Cons: it vents all of its massive amounts of hot air into the case.
shouldn't be a problem if your case has good air flow.
- Other Thoughts: great gaming card.
