Performs quite well under CCC and can tweak it all to H3ll Cons: 66% of the heat from the sink dumps back into the computer case. that's the ONLY con! Other Thoughts: Sapphire has made newer versions that have a more traditional heat sink on them that exhausts ALL of the air out the back, where it's suppose to go anyway. from Newegg.com Pros: Been rolling with this and an AMD phenom II 720 BE for a little while now, and that and 4gb of mem is an excellent combination. No problems running any video games so far on this best... from Newegg.com Runs everything I've thrown at it! Replaced my 3850 with this and the improvement is very noticeable. Gets warm, but all the later video cards run a little hot. I have a Cooler Master case with 2 80mm fans blowing in fresh air onto the card and keeps it cool enough to touch. from Newegg.com Pros: this radeon card is a good card. i power 2 monitors with it, and when things get going, i like to open the pc side door a little bit, to make great air circulation. from Newegg.com Pros: - Love the 4870 series! Very powerful cards at a fraction of the competitors cost!- A very good upgrade from a standard 4850; this card flies compared to those.- Comes with every extra imaginable. from Newegg.com Pros: Great Performance for the money. Looks good stock. May be a great candidate for water cooling. from Newegg.com Pros: Price/performance on this card is very good. Came with plenty of adapters and a crossfire bridge. Cons: Uses 2x 6pin power conecters. from Newegg.com Pros: -Good performance. Plays modern games (Fallout3,HL2 engine, Crysis) at 1920x1200 with decent AA/AF at steady FPS.-Relatively good card for the money if you frequently play games and are looking for a card that won't stutter. Cons: -Hot! from Newegg.com Pros: SUPERB Graphics Rendering. Will run any game at Max, or Almost Max settings smoothly. HDCP Ready. Cons: Very large card. from Newegg.com Pros: Awesome performance for the price! Cons: Stay away from overclocking, and keep the fan speed at a min of 50% Other Thoughts: Make sure you have a power supply rated at 500+ continuous watts. Also this card can put off a lot of heat. You might want to invest in a very efficient psu."Frankenstein"Phenom II X4 955ASUS M4A78T-E AM3 AMD 790GXZALMAN CNPS 9700 NT 110mmG. from Newegg.com
