GIGABYTE Radeon HD 4870 X2 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card GV-R487X2-2GH-B
  • 2GB 512-bit (256-bit x 2) GDDR5
  • Core Clock 750 MHz
  • 2 x DVI
  • 3200 (1600 x 2) Stream Processors
  • PCI Express 2.0 x16

Pros:

FAST. REALLY REALLY FAST.

Cons:

You could cook dinner on this thing (and heat your room at the same time). So big it interferes with two of my MOBO SATA port plugs rendering them un-usable.

Driver software still needs refinements to fully realize the power of this card.

Need to use a modified profile to adjust the fan speed to get the temps down to a reasonable level.

Overall Review:

Still shaking this card out on my new rig. Hopefully the drivers get better. And Vista Ultimate keeps wanting to install a driver for the PCI to PCI Bridge on the card - and of course it can't find one.
