SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 4870 512MB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card 100247L

Pros: Runs all my games at high or maxed out settings, movies look better than ever, excellent speed, awesome price

Cons: none so far

Overall Review: At times the fan just goes crazy and shoots on doesnt bother me but thats just me

Amazing Card

GIGABYTE Radeon RX 6900 XT GAMING OC Video Card, GV-R69XTGAMING OC-16GD

Pros: -awesome performance, at both 1440p, and 4k

Cons: -the junction temps are a bit high still within spec (AMD says up to 110C) when you run it all out its running between 93-95 at the junction. The overall temp is very good though in the 70s usually for general gaming. -requires 3x8pin power connectors

Overall Review: I would certainly recommend it just make sure you have 3x8 pin PCIE power plugs and very good thermals in your case!

Awesome

Cons: miss the 10" sub on the z5500 but it was overkill anyway!

Pros: Very Smooth Gameplay....after buying this mouse for my father he got invincible status (15 kills without dieing) twice in a row on his favorite tf2 server.... he got accused of cheating :D. Very easy to use and useful drivers!! Easily performs as good as my logitech G9x! and it lights up! Must buy my next mouse will be a razor...Also very comfortable!

Cons: it doesnt aim for me :D

...WOW

XFX HD-587A-ZNF9 Radeon HD 5870 (Cypress XT) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card w/ATI Eyefinity

Pros: Amazing single GPU card! Super fast runs all my games at MAX settings at 1920-1080 without so much as a hiccup....some people say they run hot but mine idles at 27c and runs around 55-65c under load with fan speed at a very modest 40%. Traded the 4870X2 for one of these and I wouldnt go back I get better frames with a single and just better or equal performance with less heat and power consumption!

Cons: I didnt get it sooner!

Overall Review: Get one! a single card that can come close to beatin out a 4870 x2 and in some cases does, and it even competes in some title with the big dog GTX295. I dont even wanna know how the 5970 runs!

ASUS ROCKS!

Pros: Super fast, Works Great with My 955BE got it up to 3.81 on 1.45 volts pretty good overclock. Could probably go higher but dont want to overvolt anymore! Stability is great and Drivers and intergrated stuff works awesome.

Cons: Not really a con but using the 955 on my 790gx msi board my temps were about 4-6 degrees cooler at idle load is still the same but for some reason I have yet to figure out the idle temps went up.

Overall Review: Great board Im sorry I ever strayed from ASUS but I learned my lesson and wont stray again.
