I've built 6 machines between myself and friends around this chip and it's stunning for the price. It runs everything from Crysis to Team Fortress 2 very well. It's a nice little boost with the 1 gig memory over the 512 meg Cons: The cooler on this particular version is very weak. I was seeing idle temps of 57-60 c and that's in an Antec 900 2 case with all fans on full plus an additional side fan. from Newegg.com Pros: - 1 GB of V - Ram- 800 Pixel Processors- Shorter then the reference PCB- Decent Overclockability (800 core - 1200 mem) Cons: - Fan doesn't exhaust heat out of the rear of the case.- Fan can get a little loud. Other Thoughts: I am able to run Far Cry 2 at very high settings with 4x AA at 1440 x 900. from Newegg.com runs quiet and outperforms my nvidia 8800gt by a ton. Cons: it's big, but most cards are. if your pci-e slots are close, it will take up 2 slots because of the fan. Other Thoughts: card is perfect for my needs. from Newegg.com Pros: + 1GB-256.+ Card is very stable.+ Plays Crysis, Counter Strike source, America's Army w/out a problem.+ Price is not that bad. Cons: - I have 2 of these cards, and on the first one New Egg made an inventory mistake and sent me a 3850 AGP instead, then it took a total of 16 days to get the right card with RMA.- This card does not get the heat out of the PC, so you need xtra ventilation inside the case, specially if you got it set up in crossfire like I do.- The stock fan (at full speed) gets the card running on 71C, while running Crysis on high, on my well ventilated case COOLER MASTER COSMOS S RC-1100. from Newegg.com I keep my catalyst settings at 4xAA and 8xAF. Nice and fast. Cons: 4870 mentioned above was an RMA replacement for a Sapphire 1950xtx. The 4870 they sent me has horrible geometry artifacting (probably someone else's RMA). from Newegg.com Pros: Kind of got stuck on these odd shaped Sapphire cards 6 months ago. So they don't exhaust out the back, who cares. from Newegg.com Cons: Takes up 2 slots in space due to fan. For those of you with smaller motherboards, prepare. I have an ASUS M3A78-CM and can't use my PCI slots due to the size of this card. Other Thoughts: Overall, this is the best video card I've ever owned. from Newegg.com Pros: Great deal for the price, and lots of features. The card is a bit big, due to its fan, but you get a top line card for less than $150! Cons: Well, maybe you get what you pay for (nor not pay for). from Newegg.com Pros: Plays most directx 10 games on high settings; HDMI with adapter and dual-HDMI; able to overclock with ease; very few issues attributed to the card. I am happy I chose this card! from Newegg.com Pros: 1GB mem, awesome picture quality 2-D, 3-D video, good deal for the money. I'm very satisfied with it. from Newegg.com
