XFX Double D HD-687A-ZDFC Radeon HD 6870 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card with Eyefinity

Pros: Brought it this on Monday, got it on Tuesday. Newegg's shipping is always fast. Computer recognized it without any problem after installation of the AMD catalyst. It is quiet. Performance is much better than my former HD 4870. I m still testing it with more games. But temporarily, I will give it five star.

Cons: No crossfire cable, no cable convertor. My ASUS HD 4870 video card provides these. XFX should consider.

Pros: This card is really amazing, there's very few games I can't run at max specs, and be under 60 fps.

Cons: EVERY time my tv turns off, when I turn it back on or if I change channel to play my xbox and go back to my pc. The video output goes through but it says my hdmi sound isn't plugged in, I've tested the cable. All I gotta do is unplug and plug the hdmi back in but it has become very annoying and worth docking two eggs. With this issue fixed I'd gladly pump it to five eggs.

Other Thoughts: Outside it making me worry about ruining ports by having to pull my hdmi out and plug back in over and over, the card has been amazing, I've got the latest drivers so if anyone has experienced this and knows how to fix it please let me know.

Pros: this thing is fast i love love love it

Cons: no vga....but who uses that anymore lol

Pros: Does play games on high settings?
XFX support was perfect.

Cons: An awful card, at least in my experience. I had this a couple of weeks and all I've had are problems. Almost completely driver (no audio, brightness flashing, screen tearing) related except I was also getting atrifacts on boot. Trying to uninstall this was also a nightmare, it would hang on the starting windows logo when I took the card out(also drivers). It's finally out and RMA'd. I won't buy another AMD card because of these awful drivers, let alone an XFX card.

Other Thoughts: I may have had a positive review of this card if I hadn't had so much trouble installing/un-installing it. If you do decide to buy it, at least it seems to perform well when it's not tearing screens or artifacting.

Pros: Great in CrossFire when it works. lower temps than the older non DD 6870 cards adv 60fps high bf3 low shade no blur 1080p 32" lcd

Cons: Price if not on sale this is my 2nd 6870 first one i picked up last year and what a great card but this new pcb DD cards are junk well this one is.

Other Thoughts: Picked this one up on sale to crossfire it was great for past month then random once twice a day it would hang up so i sold my old 6870 and now this one is junk hangs pc any time you watch more than 2 or 3 youtube videos one match of bf3 it hangs i have to reboot pc to recover well no more 6870s for me maybe its the new drivers but humm

Pros: Didn't die from it.

Cons: Got a DOA card. cut out the UPC for the mail in rebate, and was declined. i went to RMA it, got approved for RMA without UPC, Shipped it off to newegg, and got told that i couldn't return it. Now i have to wait another week for them to ship it back to me, then deal with XFX rma support. Really expected better of both parties. Clear lack of communication because newegg said i recieved the rebate, XFX said i didnt. i have yet to get it. Too much hassle. The customer is still waiting on this build. 3 weeks in and waiting on just this card.

Other Thoughts: I probably would've given 4-5 eggs from my typical experience with newegg and XFX. Not happy i was lied to more than once.

Pros: Good graphics card. Awesome cooling, easy to overclock. Nothing really wrong with performance

Cons: Every time I turn my computer on I have to time it just right so that when the fans just start to spin I hit the reset button or the card will not send any signal to my monitor. Probably my junk ASUS M3N78 Pro Motherboard.. But either way, this was inconvenient lol. Plus, this thing is huge.. I had to relocate one of my hard drives and it covers 2 of my sata ports (Also because of my junk motherboard)

Other Thoughts: Make sure this card won't conflict with any of your setup before you purchase it. Do your research, unlike me.

Pros: Fast card for gaming with Ati cards, I play BF3 at max settings at 50 fps rez, mass effect 3 dead on all the time 60 fps, MW3 70-85 fps, Witcher 2 all setting maxed with no ubersampling 40-45 fps but can be tuned to hit 60-80 fps Sniper Elite v2 60 fps all the time all the games are running at 1920-1080 resolution

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: I had to set the fan speed to 50% for steady fan speeds

Pros: It is very quiet

Cons: After following directions and later FAQ instructions exactly, Windows fails to recognize the driver so games and even screensavers do not work.
Tried multiple sources for the correct drivers and used driversweeper with no luck

Other Thoughts: 1. I have filed a ticket with XFX and may adust my ratings as a result of what they can do.

2. During the initial installation, the MOBO ethernet stopped working. It might be something that can be fixed, but I simply took an old PCI ethernet adapter and added it
