Pros: The best card price to performance Ive had to date - runs all the games I have played @ all the settings maxed - This includes : Oblivion : Shivering Isles - Command & Conquer 3 :TW - CS:S *All half-life games/mods*. So pretty much, if it runs those games at the highest settings, it runs them all :-) (Unless you plan on trying an outdated game 4-10 years back)

Cons: *This is not even a minor con* Ofcourse, if your playing an outdated game like WW2 Online, it wont improve much - was actually worse on performance, but my cpu held up and its smooth still.

Overall Review: I was hesitant to buy this because of a review I read on Oblivion and this card not being able to hold up . But so far im running it max settings (HDR in game and set N*idia to Force AA max and ATF max)

Pros: Works in newest Ubuntu/Kubuntu distro (15.10 iirc... kernel 4.2) out of the box with this rare nic card. Windows 10 needed drivers installed from CD. Gskill 2133 ddr4 worked out of the box.

Cons: Rare nic card on older linux distros has difficulties, not a huge deal.

Pros: Runs in WIndows 10, and Linux perfect. Tested in Kubuntu 15.10 iirc and ran fine.

Cons: Not really a con but didnt come with a Heatsink, most don't want or need one but I like to have a back up.

Overall Review: Haven't needed to OC yet, but youtub reviews show moderate overclocks.

Pros: Everything worked out of the box and looks great! In the msi z170A M5 bios it showed as 2133.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Should buy another for ram disk??

Pros: Boy o boy. The day ati came back again. This card ripped open css and oblivion so easily, full settings, on my 22inch lcd. Im going to play crysis and its expansion, at max settings, because now i can :) The fan is the best one out of all the 4870s currently. Works automatically, and is a ZEROtherm videocard heatsink, runs very well. Highly recommend this, do not waste your hard earned money buying anything else higher unless you run 4 monitors at max resolution. Seriously.

Cons: Did not come with a clone to go to work for me...???

Overall Review: This card is big, not a con since all video cards are now big. But it fit in my xclio windtunnel with about a quarter of a foot to spare (alot of room).

Pros: Just built my new computer today - c2d 8600, 2gb gskill, ati 4870, and have been playing css and oblivion all day. The cpu temp under load was 26*C !! This was with Arctic cooling mx2 also :)

Cons: It was not free, it didn't install itself, could have broken my toe if dropped. Ok no cons..

Overall Review: Yeah, ive usedf z@lman 9700 on my e6400 and a z@lman 7000 on my @md 3000+, they are not as good as this. Get this with arctic cooling mx2, best thermal paste I have ever used.
