Pros: Added this in Crossfire with same ASUS HD4870 and they run very good in thier stock OC'd setting over 14.000 in 3DMarkVantage points and 20,000 in 3DMark06 points running cool and Quiet. I was worried about heat but Case is ventilated Great. from Newegg.com Works 75% of the time. Cons: Randomly dies. I'll be playing a game, screen goes black and 3 little red lights appear ontop of the video card. It has done this off and on since I got it. from Newegg.com Pros: greate looking box Cons: the video driver will not work with XP home, professional. I can not make it to work at all. from Newegg.com Pros: To be perfectly honest, this video card was pretty good considering the price it was for, however its reliability is another thing. Cons: After about 4 months of ownership, I started to notice that the video card would constantly cause a no signal in a middle of game play. from Newegg.com The problem only got worse and eventually the whole screen was covered with these artifacts." The same thing happened to my card. switched back to my old 8800 gts and everything is fine. Other Thoughts: Have yet to contact asus about a replacement hopefully that will rectify the situation. The card was great while it lasted, hopefully the next one will be longer than 3 months. from Newegg.com But when it comes to bang for your buck, this puppy is top dog. Runs at a steady 51 degrees C, and has never gone above 75 degrees C. Free tool from Asus to monitor the temperature comes on the CD. Very slick packaging! from Newegg.com Pros: Good cooler, quiet at idle, amazing price, 4870 and therefore a pretty fast and capable board overall. Cons: Cooler. from Newegg.com Worth the price and you can add a second one with crossfire and go to ULTRA settings on CRYSYS. Cons: The only thing I found that can be considered that is the size of the card. Man its like trying to fit a shoebox in your computer case (lol) other than that its awesome Other Thoughts: I have been getting ASUS products for as long as I can remember. They just dont break (for me anyways) I still have my old ASUS MOBO from 8 years ago running like the first day I bought it. from Newegg.com YAWN! less then 10% improvement on any game! Crossfire is a total waste of money when you get in to HIGHEND video cards wow I got 39 to 59 FPS in crossfire! YAWN not worth the FAN NOISE AND ALL THE HEAT CREATED not to mentiion all the power these suck down! from Newegg.com I spent probably a little over a week, underclocking, installing drivers to the most up to date version to all previous versions, maxing out fan speed, and even updating motherboard drivers. Still crashes with an XP machine. Other Thoughts: I upgraded to Vista x86 with all the latest drivers from AMD (not asus) and no problems yet..... from Newegg.com
