VisionTek Radeon HD 6870 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card 900338
VisionTek Radeon HD 6870 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card 900338

Pros: When it worked it was a pretty good card. When I got a second one it didnt scale that well, might have been my CPU limitations. Fan started to rattle after about 4 months. No customer support what so ever. Played bf3 at 60fps on high, no AA, no VSYNC, at 1080p.

Cons: Bought one via Newegg, then later bought a second one via an online marketplace , The one I bought from Newegg had some issues with the fan, it started to rattle so i removed the outer shell to see what the problem was. As I was removing it the 3pin fan connector ripped from its socket when I was pulling on the 3 pin connector. I tried to RMA this via Newegg but it was past the month. So i headed over to Visionteks website filled out the RMA. Never revived and email back from them. So I called and got someone in a different country that had no idea what I was trying to say, he just told me to go back the the site. He was no help at all.

Overall Review: If I were you I would just save up a little more and get a 6950 and then flash it to a 6970.

Great starter board

Pros: Cheap 4 DIMMS Stays cool space for a big cpu cooler

Cons: BIO-Unlocking corrupted windows 7 for some reason. 24 pin placement is not ideal for wire management i have a feeling that this board is not worth it, and that you should just buy a more expensive one if your using high end parts, im upgrading to the 560 ti and im really considering a upgrade. dont want to have a $110 cpu, $75 worth of ram and a $250 gpu on a $50 motherboard, maybe thats just me though.

Overall Review: Pc Specs: AMD Phenom II X4 840 3.2GHz 8Gb or DDR3 Ram (1333) EVGA Nvida GeForce GT 430 (Overclocked) Biostar A770E3 Motherboard Wester Digital Cavair Green 500Gb 5400rpm Hard Drive

Great CPU for gaming!

Pros: Never hits above 26oC while under load, i have the Coolermaster Hyper 212 Plus, after playing FarCry2 the cpu never hits above 60% load, and my gpu maxes out!

Cons: Stock cooler is a joke, its the same one that came with mt Dual core amd athlon II 3.0 ghz, i dont even want to use that wimpy thing, i went with the Coolermaster Hyper 212 plus.
