XFX HD4870

white Reviewed By: Brad on 8/15/2009
Rating + 5
Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
Pros: Great Value. Will play any game. Crysis can run maxed out dx10 at 30fps. Maxed at DX9 gets around 40fps average. CPU = e5300 @ 3.6ghz. Not the best fps but definitely playable. The card easily overclocks to the Catalyst Control Center limits. Fan isn't loud when played at maxed CCC limits.
Cons: Card can make the room hot quickly. Really long card, but not really a con if you have an avg sized case.
Other Thoughts: Most people already know, but make sure your PSU can run this card. You need 2 PCI-E power connectors. Adapters to the standard 4 prong are included. A minimum 450w PSU is recommended.

Excellent -overkill for my old rig

white Reviewed By: Beaker on 8/7/2009
Rating + 5
Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: I picked this up for my old rig (AMD X2 4800, ASUS A8N Premium, 2 GB OCZ PC3200 2-2-2-5, BFG 7800GTX) to see if I could speed up the games I play a bit (Fallout 3, BF2, NWN2). I knew I would be CPU limited, and my 600W PSU was just barely rated high enough to power this beast (and I mean beast - huge as they say it is!) and it totally blew away all of my expectations. I know this is overkill, especially since I have a 19 in Viewsonic VP191b, but I put it in and everything worked flawlessly. I was worried about the viewsonic flashing bug, but the July 2, 2009 drivers either fixed this or else my display isn't effected by this issue. I have smooth as silk graphics with fallout3 with every slider turned all the way up and 8X, 15X filtering. BF2, also flawless with full out maxed sliders and AA/AS. Very happy for the price.
Cons: I got the XXX version for a few bucks more, and it didn't register as overclocked according to catalyst control panel or to GPU-z, but I am running a e-PCI2 board on a PCI1.1 slot and everything else in my system is slower than this thing anyway so I don't think it will be an issue. I'll play with setting the overclock to what it should be factory shipped if I run into any slow down on anything...
Other Thoughts: Excellent card, easy transition from nVidia drivers. Just uninstalled the old drivers and installed the ATI ones - easy as pie. I was expecting the red clear plastic case to have an LED in it, but not a big deal. I have enough flashing lights in my case already to blind me if I look at it.
