This review is from: SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 7870 XT w/Boost 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card 100354XTL
Pros:
Blazing fast gpu.
Overclocks very good up to 1200MHz if you push the power +10%
Cons:
Memory overclocking is not good at all, makes it unstable.
Pushing extra voltage and more than +10% power burns the card. I had to buy another one.
Runs a bit hot when overclocked, mine topped to 77C in Crysis3 (everything set on High, with AA etc..)
Overall Review:
Very good gpu, especially for its price.
I overclocked up to 1200MHZ with no problems with +10% power boost.
Runs Unigine Heaven and Valley in 1080p full screen, everything maxed out (even tesellation) it runs more than 35FPS on Heaven, 40FPS on Valley.
Gave it 4 eggs only cause memory overclocking is barely possible and runs a bit hot with some coil whining when overclocked but I assume its kinda normal.
