Pros: I work at a surveying company where we deal with harsh amount of point clouds in the hundred of billions. We also do high-res orthography up 1.5" resolution pictures. I have installed this card on three computers and none of them have had any hook-ups, and all worked better than we expected to. The only thing that you need to be aware of is that this card requires two power connectors to be connected to it, so be sure that you have a beefy power supply with lots of PCI-E power connectors. from Newegg.com Pros: Works great. Never get below 80 fps in Team Fortress 2 on highest graphics settings, average fps is between 90 and 100, and that's with a movie playing on a second monitor. Cons: Every once it a while TF2 will stutter for a second, but then return to normal. Only happens like once every couple of weeks though, and I'm not sure if its even caused by the video card. from Newegg.com Pros: Very quiet, CCC is easy to understand and use. Cons: Can't play half of my games for the life of me. from Newegg.com Pros: Plays games on very high settings. Capable of very high FPS at just about any resolution. I game at 1920 x 1080 in FPS and MMO games such as WoW, CoD4, AA2, AA3, EVE Online, and Age of Conan. Cheap... from Newegg.com Pros: Powerful, Price, 2 Gig of video ram. Cons: None Other Thoughts: I have been using this card for 6 months now. from Newegg.com Pros: Card can run any game at 1920 x 1080 no problem. I've hooked this up to my TV and played Unreal Tournament 3 topped out. So far any and every game I have played has been laid to waste by this beast of a video card. Cons: Heat is a little bit of an issue, Catalyst doesn't come with any fan control software so you either have to do a little profile mumbo jumbo or just get a program online to do that for you. from Newegg.com Pros: Excellent card - reference cooling solution keeps both cores at very reasonable temps, even after hours of GPU intensive gaming. Fan is actually a little quieter than a standard 4870, too. from Newegg.com Pros: Insanely fast, stable, beautiful video card. This pumps out some glorious fps in bleeding edge games and the highest settings possible. from Newegg.com . . extremely high performance and easily configurable through the Catalyst Utility with many options. All the options you could want. from Amazon.com Pros: I have a Gigabyte 4870x2 that I bought here. The card is no longer at newegg. from Newegg.com
