HIS Radeon HD 4870 512MB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card H487FN512P

Pros: This card can handle everything I throw at it. I actually made my system crash trying to get this card to crash and it never did. Plays flawless HD video and sustains excellent FPS on CoD 4 and W@W. Not even a hiccup. Great brand and a great card.

Cons: The fan is a little loud. Also now wish I got the 1GB, but this 512MB runs as smooth as any 512 can.

Overall Review: Replaced my GeForce 9800GTX+ for this card. It's like night/day. I should've never strayed away from ATI, especially with an AMD system.

Pros: @the person who says it doens't play CoD4 WaW is having other issue's The card plays the game just golden. As well as crysis / crysis warhead, Farcry 2 Warhamer and WoW. Don't listen to people who complain "this card blah blah blah" While its very possible those people had there explained problem it very well could have been a damanged card which is expected as not everyone can make everything perfectly. This card performs Flawlessly. It goes into a power saver mode while your doing 2D then can ramp up to 790Mghz(which is what mine is over clocked to) when you launch a 3d application. This card is amazing and for the price it becomes way beyond that.

Cons: My only con is the amount of rear space it needs. The screw's coming out of the back take up entirely to much space. I had to buy different screw's for it to fit. Took a half hour of my time. The reason for it is because the screw's were hitting my motherboard north bridge heatsink allowing me to not put the card in place.

Overall Review: CoD4, CoD WaW, Crysis, Crysis warhead, Farcray 2,WoW, Warhammer Online. DoW II, Empire Total war. If your playing any of these games w/o full graphics this is the card you need. just make sure you have a 1/4inch of clearence between the rear of the card and the closest thing to it.

Pros: This card is amazing, runs every game flawless: Cod4, oblivion, source games. Was skeptical about the heatsink at the beginning, but my worries were laid to rest when i fired this puppy up. Load temps are between 59-65c, and its not very audible.

Cons: strange smell

Overall Review: Its not loud as some people stated. Its audible but nothing compared to the blow dryer reference cooler. Those of you who have doubts about this, trust me, this is a great card.

Pros: Great price really fast, stable. I bought 2 of these and am running them with crossfire. I'd reccomend this card and 2 cards if you want some crazy good performance.

Cons: None

Pros: Upgraded from a 4850, and surprisingly there has been a very noticeable difference. Everything except Crysis DX10 plays well on max graphics and 1680 x 1050. Oblivion runs at a smooth 60 with everything on max (w/ vsync), fallout 3 hovers 30-60 and has yet to stutter, Crysis is still in the 20's. Overclocked it the second I got it and the card can do 790//1100 (CCC overdrive limit, haven't used ATiTool yet) without breaking a sweat. Max temps under load generally hover mid 50's.

Cons: I really haven't had a single problem. It's a little long but that's a given for cards today.

Pros: Card works great and plays everything as long as the fan doesnt die.

Cons: The only con I would say and its a major one is the fan. The card was working awsome since april when I got two of them. Then 2 weeks ago the fan was making a noise for about a week and then it stopped and my pc shut off. The fan burnt up and now my second card is doing it , so I bought replacement zalmans which are working great from newegg. The card that had the fan that went bad ended up going bad after a week with the new heatsink which I am sure it went from being overheated on the old stock heatsink.

Overall Review: If you take the heatsink apart , you will see it is solid copper from the gpu all the way through to underneith the fan. It looks like it can get rather hot under the fan which doesnt surprise me it burnt up.

Pros: Fast card, good price

Cons: Overheating problems due to the heatsink not being fastened tightly enough

Overall Review: I was able to fix the overheating problem for the most part by simply tightening the screws which attach the heatsink to the card. HOWEVER, if you attempt this, be careful because the screws are very easy to break if you overtighten - they just twist apart. I broke two screws off through what did not seem like excessive force, and I now have the FET heatsink held on with a binder clip. However, even with the missing screws, the tightening procedure lowered my temperatures 10-20 degrees C.

Pros: plays crisis warhead with no issues 25 30 fps very high no aa 17 fps with aa stays cool and handles oc no prolem

Cons: drivers that came with it arnt the best, but you are going to download the newest ones anyways right

Overall Review: i have a9950be oc to 2.8
