PowerColor Radeon HD 3870 512MB GDDR4 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card AX3870 512MD4-H

Pros: Just upgraded from 2 X1950XTX's in crossfire to 2 of these sucka's. Awesome perfomance on crysis and unreal III engine.Can run crysis on most all high settings at 1920x1200! Great power comsumption(only have 600 watt pwr supply.) Cant beat the price. Great image quality unlike "other" products.Lucky get get one. ATI/AMD finally came through. Like the Idea of Crossfire X. ATI's Overdrive has high clock peaks. 80+ core 2600memory, may be hard to achieve that high. Overall great product, u wil;l not be disapointed if u got the cash jump on these.

Cons: would a pci express 2.0 mobo get more performance than pci-e 1 slot mobo. Reference coolers always suck, dont know why?

Overall Review: My rig Intel Core 2 Extreme X6800@ 3.6Ghz(water-cooled by danger den ) Asus P5W-DH Deluxe, 4 Gigs Corsair XMS2 PRO DDR2@930, 2x WD Raptors 10k HD's in Raid 0, 2x ATI HD 3870's in Crossfire, OCZ Gamextreme 600Watt PSU

Pros: To the dude below me. There is nothing wrong w/ the clocks in ati CCC. Its part of the powerplay. CCC automaticly underclocks ur cards when not running 3d apps. Once u start gaming ure clocks will be up to normal. The memory is cut in half due to actual speed. DDR = Double data rate. So 1200 memory clock = 2400 effective speed. U catch my drift. Its actually a smart thing to do, there is no need to max core speed on desktop. You will get the speeds the sliders are on when u are using a 3d app. Dont worry bro they are great cards and will treat u right.

Cons: After CCC automaticly set my clocks to like 845/2600 after like 1 week the display driver keeps recovering in games and still does it at 815/2400. Maybee thats what i get for buying 3rd party hardware. But im sending a RMA in soon for both cards

Pros: Very nice card. Extremely fast. F.E.A.R. FPS test w/ Everything MAX and 4x AA 94% above 40 FPS the minimum frame rate was 38! Unbelievable card! If you have the cash GET it. ATI rules!

Cons: DO NOT, i repeat do not use the new 6.8 or 6.9 catalyst drivers from ATIs web page! This card is not supported by them(Card is too new). Use the CD that came with the card, trust me. I got my info directly from ATI. (I am useing XP 64 as well, so dont worry bout that one lol) No Crossfire Master Card yet:(

Pros: Awesome card. My wife accidently put it through the washing machine....and got lost in a crevice of the dryer. It went through 1 wash cycle and about 20 dryer loads before i finally found it. Amazingly it still works and NONE of the data was corrupted!! This is an incredidble card!!

Cons: Size too small. LOL JK

great stuff

Pros: Great ram. Nioce timimgs, solid overclockers. Oh and to the guy who said he can now run Quake 4 on ultra quality. To run quake 4 on Ultra u need over 512 of Video Memory (Your Graphic Cards Ram), not system memory. Stop running quake 4 in ultra unless u have a 512 video card or are running 2 256 cards in sli or crossfire.

Cons: None Top of line as usual Cosair= Quality
