Pros: good gpu this is my secend one, and im going to crossfire them Cons: non Other Thoughts: it's a good buy from Newegg.com Pros: This card has met my expectations in every way. I am fortunate to have a huge case, the XClio 1000 so the size of this card wont be an issue. from Newegg.com Pros: For sure the most bang for the buck!So i bought two. Cons: I wish I could sale back these huge heatsinks because i went with watercooling. from Newegg.com Pros: Well, It benches about what you would expect from a 1GB 4870, Smooth FPS in STALKER CS, Crysis in DX9, Fallout 3 (even with 8xAA, 16xAF) Cons: The Heatsink/Cooler on this card attracted me to it, however when I got the card the Core was about 85c idle, The MEMIO was 100c idle. Load temps scared me, though it performed well as long as the fan was over 75%, although that was really loud. from Newegg.com Pros: I deceided on this card rather then the 4850 x2, mostly because of price point. I built a system with a 4850 x2 and when compared against each other, I am glad I choose this card over the other. from Newegg.com Pros: Picture looks good. Cons: See below Other Thoughts: I bought 5 cards from MSI, 3 different models for three system builds. from Newegg.com Pros: 1gig ddr5 really fast low tempatures in a normal gateway case. fallout 3 ultra high and evry other game i tried Cons: had to rma first card had bad ram Other Thoughts: really good for price from Newegg.com Pros: Runs everything I throw at it. Well worth it. from Newegg.com Pros: I initially wasnt too impressed with my upgrade from a 9800GT OC+, but then I got to tweaking it a little. I used the "Auto-Tune" button in the settings to automatically overclock it (I thought Id try this first, since it probably safer than doing it manually). from Newegg.com Pros: Looks good on paper. Cons: Overheats on a regular basis even on Halo 1. from Newegg.com
