SAPPHIRE Toxic Radeon HD 4890 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card 100269TXSR

Pros: Amazing card. Runs silent and runs anything. And for the price it simply CAN NOT be beat. The hottest ive seen mine get is 45C under full load for over an hour. It can run any game i want with any settings i want with ZERO hiccups. Just make sure you have a beefy power supply it requires an 8 pin AND a 6 pin plug.

Cons: Its a huge friggin card.

Overall Review: This just the system im running, DX58SO board with an intel core i7 920 running at 2.93 in turbomode stays around 30-40C Thermaltake Blackwidow 850watt PSU with active pfc and modular build. 6 gigs of Mushkin 1600 DDR3 triple channel with 9 9 9 24 timing. And of course the sapphire 4890 toxic.

Bad mother power supply

Cons: none

Pros: Runs at specified settings and timings after being set in bios. had zero problems, and i enjoyed the fact that Mushkin took the time to put intricate instructions on the packaging. they really went above and beyond. All my future ram will be purchased from Mushkin.

Cons: theres a rebate now for 20$ that i dont qualify for :(
