PowerColor Radeon HD 4870 X2 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card AX4870X2 2GBD5-H

Pros: Where to start...we all know the reputation around this card already but man it is fast. Runs source engine games at 75 fps at absolute max settings on my 42" 1080p TV and about the same on my 1440x900 monitor. Which may not sound like much of a feat but it changes the experience of the games entirely for me.

Cons: High cost but it's worth it. Included drivers CD that came with this is garbage just download the latest (catalyst 8.8) from the ATi website.

Overall Review: Look online for EXPERTool I got it from the eggxpert forums. With this tool you can fix the fan speed issues and cool it off DRAMATICALLY. I ramped up the fanspeed to 50% (though it now sounds like a jet engine) and it dropped from 80 celcius to around 40. Find your happy medium with the fan sound vs. cooling power.

Pros: This card is a beast. There is absolutely nothing it can play at max settings and the highest resolution (1920x1800) when it comes to games, aside from Crysis. (Though that's because Crysis a) has a horrid engine and b) Is optimized for Nvidia. Regardless, even Crysis runs really well, even if not perfect.

Cons: This thing is enormous, though you can't really expect otherwise for this kind of power. I have an Antec P182 and a Asus P5K Pro motherboard and my SATA slots were covered but I solved that by moving it over to another slot. So be prepared. Also, this card runs REALLY hot (though that's to be expected) so make sure you have a lot of fans. And lastly, this thing takes TWO connections from your PSU. I have a 750w Corsair, but I honestly would not go ANY lower than that.

Overall Review: If you can take the beating for the price, this card is well worth it. I'm glad to see ATI finally catch up with nVidia.

Pros: Powerful. This single card runs CoD4 at max settings at 1920x1200. If you want the best graphics card available at the date of this posting, this will be it.

Cons: It runs extremely hot, but that is a given considering how powerful it is. You will want to visit Hardforum (or another site) to learn how to setup profiles to increase the stock fan speed to properly cool this monster (not that difficult).

Overall Review: This card is 10.5" long and will take up two slots on your motherboard. I would also recommend not placing any cards directly above or below it, since it generates a lot of heat.

Pros: Works pretty good, high framerate on highest detail settings on UT3, CSS, and WoW.

Cons: When I alt-tab out of some games the screen from the game transparently overlays my desktop making it kinda hard to see. Assume this is the graphics card, its the most likely culprit. Some games won't come back after alt-tabbing, this may or may not be a graphics card issue.

Overall Review: Its quite big, not sure if I could put 2 in Asus P6T unless it lets me use first and third slot (havn't tried and not sure I intend to).

Pros: Card runs great - 20,600 futuremark 2006. Still can't run all the Crysis goodies at 2560x1600, but can run very good/playable framerates at 2560x1600 with all settings at "Medium". Does look WAY better and smoother than my 8800gts did at 2560x1600 with all settings Low. COD4 has all graphics options at max and looks great. My rig: E8500 at 4.3ghz, 4gb DDR, winXP 32bit. I'm using a Corsair 620 modular PSU, which doesn't have any issues driving this card and my overclocked setup.

Cons: Card is long - _barely_ fits in my Antec BLK3000. 10.5" from the faceplate to the back of the card. Noisy under full load. I'll be watercooling it as soon as Danger Den has the kit available, so I'm not very concerned.

Overall Review: Running the 8.8 beta ATI drivers which run great. This is my first Powercolor card - so far so good.

Pros: I love Age of Conan so much that I built an entire new system just to run it properly. It just so happens that ATi dominates Nvidia in Age of Conan so the decision to purchase this card was a no brainer especially given the fact that Age of Conan scales so darn well with Crossfire. I am basically getting twice the frames of a single 4870 1GB videocard in Age of Conan and I am LOVING IT!!!

Cons: So long as I get my rebate.. I will have no Cons to mention.

Overall Review: If you enjoy MMO's, you owe it to yourself to give Age of Conan a try! With this graphics card I am able to enjoy the game with High Settings and 8X AA and 16 AF! While raiding and having all the spells going boom boom, I never dip below 35 FPS. Most of the time I am over 100 FPS while running around the game world. LOVE THIS CARD!!!

Pros: didnt get to see :(

Cons: 1. DOA, well not really, it loads windows, then the fan goes to 100% and my screen goes blank. 2. i ended up spending what i saved from the cheaper brand in return shipping :(

Overall Review: isnt neweggs fault, i got this for less than 400 with the rebate, hopefully the new one they send wont be broken, no problems and the next one is on its way, MAKE SURE, you test this card out for a few days before you go snipping the UPC off the box, because you cant exchange a card with a missing UPC!

Pros: Amazing Power, runs all apps with ease also in general the fan is low noise for the most part. This is the best card I have every owned - it is simply OUTSTANDING

Cons: None really, however it is abit hot but that's normal so you better have a nice case with lots of fans and you must a large power supply.
