Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: less than 1 day
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Smaller than my sapphire 4870 I had originally. My original sapphire 4870 had eventually burnt itself out after 10 months of ownership due to a design flaw, but ran well when I did have it. I RMA'd through newegg and they recommended this as a replacement. Runs just as great if not a little better than my previous 4870 model.
Cons: Doesn't blow air out the back like traditional video cards. I recommend buying an external fan to blow air into your case or have really good case cooling. Other than that no cons.
Other Thoughts: Takes up less room than the sapphire tech 4870 I had. It's a discontinued model so I can't really give any references to other uses so they can compare designs.

I'm running this on XP and I game heavily and underload it steadies out at 64-65 Celsius but once I quit gaming it quickly cools off thanks to my huge fan.

I'd recommend this card for people who want the power of a 4870 in a smaller package.

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Smaller than average
Cons: Manufacturing and quality control needs work.
Other Thoughts: I purchased three of these units for three different PCs, and within one wee, two of the three no longer work (the PC will not pass POST).
