AWESOME!

XFX Radeon HD 5870 (Cypress XT) 1GB DDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card HD-587X-ZNFV
XFX Radeon HD 5870 (Cypress XT) 1GB DDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card HD-587X-ZNFV

Pros: -Card can run EVERY game on MAXIMUM settings with usually a constant 60fps. -Comes in sexy packaging, and the card itself is attractive -Comes with Aliens vs. Predator -Very, very fast card, cooling is awesome -This and the 5850 are the best cards on the market for the price, don't be fooled by nVidia!

Cons: -Card is long, but that is barely a con -Alien vs Predator isn't that good of a game, again, not really a con

Overall Review: Make sure you have a big enough case for this beast. This is my setup: Intel I5-750 5870 4GB DDR3 1600 RAM Coolermaster 690II case This is a gaming setup, this will run games for years to come max!

Works as expected

Pros: -Easy install, just pop it in the slots -Booted up first time, not a single problem -Runs at correct speeds

Cons: -No instructions for 'newer' builders, but I mean, it's already pretty simple -Weak packaging, again though, doesn't really matter.

Absolutely amazing value

GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 670 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card GV-N670OC-2GD

Pros: -This thing destroys almost everything you throw at it (besides the few unoptimized games we all know and love), constant 60+ FPS on basically everything. -Windforce cooling is amazing. Overclocked card will not even go above 55 degrees with my fan profile, it's insane. -Box looks nice on the outside, gives all pertinent information you need on the product -The value is unmatched, price to value ratio is absolutely the best. -When overclocked, performs almost/as good as a 680

Cons: -Box contents are lackluster -Wish I had gotten it sooner!

Overall Review: This thing will run everything you throw at it with ease. Crysis 2, Battlefield 3 always silky smooth FPS. This will last me many years I think, and then when it's time to upgrade, just going to SLI another one of these bad boys.
