PowerColor Radeon HD 6870 DirectX 11 AX6870 1GBD5-M2DH 1GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card with Eyefinity

Pros: Powerful... So many reviews on the net have already explained just what this thing can do and it lives up to the hype. I am running on a somewhat modest gaming machine (q6600 oc'd with 6gb ram etc) and noticed a pretty big jump from the gtx 460 1gb even on stock settings. I play a wide range of games but really saw a boost in Battlefield: Bad Company 2. I haven't had a chance to overclock the card but don't find much of a need with my current processor (I'll definitely try it though!). It sits around 40 degrees idle and pushes around 60-65 under full load. It will be interesting to see how the catalyst drivers evolve to make this thing even better.

Cons: Huge and rather loud when pushing the fan past 40 percent speed. Once you hit 60 to 100 percent, it sounds like a vacuum cleaner is running in your computer. When idle, it is as quiet as any other card out there, just make sure you set the fan to the speeds you want in CCC. Requires two 6 pin connectors and as another reviewer mentioned, no adapters are included in the box so be aware of that. As aforementioned, the card is rather large and unless you have mid-tower or larger case, it is doubtful this thing will fit. Also consider where your hard drives or other parts of motherboard stick out as there may be conflicts. I would assume most newegg customers already know what they are doing in this aspect but I figure a word of warning could be helpful to those who do not.

Overall Review: I am not sure what the other reviewers are talking about. I am using a 550w Rosewill psu and have no problems with power. Per manufacture website, the specified minimum is 500 watts and I would assume that is sufficient. Glad to see ATI and Nvidia in healthy competition again.

Pros: It wasn't expensive compared to the other 6870s

Cons: Makes a horribly loud squeaking noise during some games. During some games it will make a quieter squeaking noise that changes pitches when you look at something different in a game. But the really loud squeaking noise that happens is unbearably loud. It's not my PSU, I've got a Corsair 650w and it's working fine. Also seems to under-perform according to benchmarks I've seen.

Pros: Runs fast and processes calculations very well. Easily overclocked to ~950 MHz. Easily compute graphics for any modern game with ease(How many words with the root word ease can i use). Big explosions drop my fps down to 20 but I'm talking big explosions that are right in your face! Decent price to performance ratio.

Cons: Download something to monitor the GPU temps and adjust fan speeds. I suggest MSI Afterburner otherwise you're default fan speed will cause the card to operate at terrible temps. I pushed 111C(Yeah, celsius) with default fan speeds, lawl. As mentioned in a previous review, the fan can be loud beyond 40%. I discovered that yes, yes it is. Put on head phones.

Overall Review: if the 5770 is a boat, then the 6870 is a much much bigger boat!. What am I getting at? Ever made love to a peanut butter sandwich...

Pros: Fantastic Performance!!! upgraded from 4870 512mb

Cons: Borderlands fps still isn't great... stupid game. My CPU is bottlenecking this beast...

Overall Review: getting crysis 2 with ultra high directx11... hope it's playable.. :D

Pros: Great Price to Performance Accessories in box were great easily over clocked (really easy in fact)

Cons: Cheap looking sticker on the front............ but really who cares? :-)

Overall Review: I bought this PowerColor HD 6870 as a second card for crossfire. My other card being a XFX HD 6870 Black Edition. The PowerColor came with way more accessories and I got on sale for $229.00. I easily over clocked the PowerColor card to match my factory overclocked XFX (940ghz, 1150ghz) and am crushing any games with ridiculous frame rates! Computer Specs: CPU: AMD Phenom II 945 @3.3 MB: Asus M4A79XTD-EVO RAM: 8GB DDR3 @1600+ Video: AMD HD 6870 in Crossfire PSU: Raidmax RX-850AE Case: NZXT Tempest EVO

Pros: Low price Excellent performance Runs cool & quiet No driver issues

Cons: The sticker on the top was either applied wrong or to big because it was Slightly hanging off the edge of the card but not really a big enough issue to take egg off for.

Overall Review: Was on the fence about buying card but I'm glad I did was very impressed with card much better than expected. Card idles at 38c & after playing crysis on full settings for a few hours only gets to about 56c. It's quieter then my case fans so I don't notice any extra noise from the system after installing card. Is about 10" long but fit in Antec 900 case with no issues. If your looking for cheap well performing card this is it.

Pros: When i bought this card there was 1 review and a company i never heard of. So after i did research on the company Powercolor and about the 6870 i found everything to be great. Even after hooking everything up i couldn't be happier about my purchase. The card are large but i had no problem fitting them into my Midtower. Software that comes with the cards is very easy to use and understand. Very simple to Crossfire.

Cons: None

Overall Review: The product include Crossfire Band so no need to get a any extra unless you are needing a 3by one. Extra Information: This product does take 2 6 pin jacks to power them. Make sure you have the plugs if you start hooking up 2+ cards.

Pros: Cheap. Powerful. Easy install.

Cons: The 6870 sticker on it is cheaply made and fell off mine.

Overall Review: runs everything I throw at it (GTA:IV to BF3:Alpha) on the max settings. Combined with a great set-up the card will not be afraid to preform to the standard.
