Extremely fast for the price. The 4870 lives up to the hype. At this price point, the 4870 is without a doubt the champ. It can compete with cards twice as expensive.
For the first time in 10 years, I can say that I'm 100% sure I made the correct choice in video cards.
VisionTek offers a lifetime warranty for their graphics cards!
Runs very hot with 8.6 drivers. The fan runs at only 26% with temperatures around 88 degrees. After manually changing the fan speed to 55% the temperatures dropped to around 50 degrees at idle and 60 degrees under load.
The fan is loud at 55%.
The high temperatures reported are due to a driver issue. The current drivers aren't running the fan at a high enough speed. This problem should be resolved soon.
The 4870 uses two 6-pin power connectors. Make sure you have that before you order.
Nice working card. Lightyears ahead of my x1800.
My card came with a different fan that the one in the picture. Don't get me wrong I like the card a lot however the specific reason I went for VisionTek over the many other choices was that I really liked the fan setup pictured. So be weary of this one if you are looking at it because of the installed fan. You may not get that one.
Received this card in less than 24 hours. GJ
