Customer Reviews

great card if you can find one
i was lucky..after searching for 2 weeks I located an open box at at a fry's in San Diego ..They said the card was tested on return ..I hate buying open box items.So I really don't know why the card was returned ...OK ..the card is 10.5 inches long so it runs past the length of the mobo..so i moded my p 182 antec to fit my previous card was a evga 9800 gtx+ my power supply is an 850 watt antec so i was ok the card uses 2 8 pin molex connectors..just to be on the safe side I reformated my c drive to rid my registry of any nvidia files ..i recommend a reformat if your previous card was nvidia ..the card ran smooth as silk after reformatting ..before it would flicker playing movie files using dvx...my processer is amd 9950 4 gigs ram..so i was running cod4 modern war 2 at full res with aa at 4x ..the card would heat up from 37 c to about 60 playing games running temp at rest is 37 c..with a 20 percent increase in speed over the 9800 it is worth the upgrade...next I'll upgrade my processor to a 965 or 955 amd to get more boost one thing that sold me was direct x 11 capabilities

cons ...5870...where art thou

Runs fast, runs cool, no issues!
Excellent video card, especially if you want to run games at high resolutions and graphic settings. I used to use a GTX280 and it put out a lot of heat. This runs quite cool in comparison. They did a lot of work on throttling back the chip when it doesn't need the power and it shows.

ATI not ready to play with the big boys yet.
Despite staggeringly powerful specs the 5870 it is worthless. I can't run my pc on hopes and dreams. While nvidia is flooding the market with 285's and i can buy a ton of 295's, the best card both spec wise and price wise is nowhere to be seen. It seems the only thing amd and ati can sell is hype!!!
