Customer Reviews

AtI 4870
This is just my opinion on the card, very hard to OC , I haven't had a ATI on my computor for some time and wasn't that impressed about this card at all, I would recommend it but wait for awhile to improve more. when you have two major companys competting on their cards nvidia and ATI they are not finding the problems but are shipping them out so use gamers can find them for them, Price wise go with Nvidia better card but i just had to see what the hipe was about for the 4870. sorry none there that i could see.

Solid, Fast, Affordable
After reading the reviews I went out yesterday and picked up this card.

I have spent about 10 hours of pretty hard use and it has not glitched yet.

NOTE: the box does come with adapters to go from 2 4 pin to 1 6 pin power plugs, of course your powersupply still needs to be up to the task. I have a 550 watt supply but it only had 1 6 pin plug, so I was concerned I would have to "rig" something. I am running a Nvidia motherboard 2 gig ram, Q6700 processor overclocked to 3.2 ghz and 3 seagate 750 gig and 1 500 gig internal hard drives and have not had a issue. I have a systemax built system (BTW - not counting extra hard drives total out of pocket for system was ~ 1000.00 - before this card - that included the 8600).

I originally had a Nvidia 8600 - upgraded to a new 9800 - took that back and exchanged it for this. It has handled everything I have thrown at it - f.e.a.r. - crysis (High - running dx9), halflife 2 and several highdef movies.

For the money (heck, forget the money even) this is a very good card.

Awesome Card!!
This is the best card ever! The super hot issue is a mith, it's really easy to set a profile and change the fan settings. There are some forums with steps on how to do it. 100% recommended!
