does what it should

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: run in crossfire with a his card from same chipset family.

these cards alone will smash through most games on max setting. when crossfired you get a higher frame rate.
Cons: not a tremendous increase in crossfire setup. but these cards will play anything on any setting on their own.
Other Thoughts: ccc center allows to control fan so this card shouldn't run more than 30-45c at idle. you can control that.

during gaming it could go up as high as 80-90 thats normal just be mindful to set up the ccc fan profile to a higher one once you start playing. to keep it cool in the 70. fans will get loud.

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Coming from a HIS 3850/512...runs everything (FO3, Farcry2, GTA4) I've thrown at it at my monitor's max resolution (1680x1050) at high to max quality settings.
Cons: Fan is noisy, even at lowest setting (25%)...it's the loudest thing in my case (Antec 300).
Other Thoughts: When I bought, I debated between this and a HIS 4870 with the IceQ cooler. But, it had free shipping and sweet combo deal for GSkill DDR3-1600 Ripjaws memory.

The noise is tolerable, but I should've gotten the HIS.

Excellent GPU

Tech Level Tech Level: average - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Runs every game I have thrown at it flawlessly at 1920x1080. Incredibly fast and efficient card for gaming, movies, video editing, and pretty much anything you want to do with it!
Cons: It is pretty loud, and runs hot. I haven't looked over any temperatures, but the room is definitely hotter with it going. Not a big issue, but it is something.
Other Thoughts: Bought especially for a new computer I ordered--Dell XPS 435T--to replace its factory 4850. It runs on a 475 watt PSU no problem.
