SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 4870 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card Vapor-X

Pros: Very good preformance in the V-card. It over clocks well. It has taken everything I've thrown at it and then some. I will be buying another one soon to X-fire them together.

Cons: none

Most Critical Review

Corsair rebate is a Scam

CORSAIR XMS3 6GB (3 x 2GB) DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Triple Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TR3X6G1333C9
CORSAIR XMS3 6GB (3 x 2GB) DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Triple Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TR3X6G1333C9

Pros: Product works very well. I have no complaints at all with the preformance.

Cons: As far as the product is concerned no cons, but the mail in rebate is a scam!!! It has been over 10 weeks since I mail in the rebate info and have still not recieved my money. I mailed in other rebates on other products and got the money with the time frame they said, but not Corsair. I also bought a CORSAIR CMPSU-650TX 650W that had rebate money and have not recieved it yet either. So don't count on getting any money back from Corsair. That's why I rated it so low.

posted my review on the wrong card

SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 4870 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card Vapor-X
SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 4870 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card Vapor-X

Pros: This is the card I bought. Very fast card. Very good for gaming. Software is very user friendly. But didn't last long.

Cons: GPU Clock speed has locked up. Will not adjust. I thought at first it was the software. But after un-installing and re-installing it, it still would not adjust. Stays locked at 500MHz (the bare minimum). My high intensity Games are locking up after only 3 to 5 minutes of play. Time to return it for a replacement.

Overall Review: This is my first return. I hope it goes well. I have no patience for this kind of stuff.

Worked for a whlie

Pros: Very fast card. Worked well with gaming. Software very user friendly.

Cons: Clock speed has locked up. Will not adjust at all. Stays at 500 MHz all the time. Net games are now locking up. Can't play any High intensity game for more than 5 minutes without it locking up. sending back for an exchange. I hope this goes well. I have no patience with returns.

Corsair Rebates a Scam

CORSAIR TX Series CMPSU-650TX 650 W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 Power Supply & New 4th Gen CPU Certified Haswell Ready
CORSAIR TX Series CMPSU-650TX 650 W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 Power Supply & New 4th Gen CPU Certified Haswell Ready

Pros: Awesome Power supply. Have had it for over three months and works great.

Cons: As far as the product is concerned no cons, but the mail in rebate is a scam!!! It has been over 10 weeks since I mail in the rebate info and have still not recieved my money. I mailed in other rebates on other products and got the money with the time frame they said, but not Corsair. I also bought 12 gigs of memory that had rebate money and have not recieved it yet either. So don't count on getting any money back from Corsair. That's why I rated it so low.
