Cons: Doesn't vent the air out of the back of the case. Other Thoughts: Great deal, great value for the money. ASUS rebate procedure seems easy enough. from Newegg.com Pros: rule #1: if you're looking for amazing performance and awesome dependabiliy ASUS cannot be beat......great card, very stable, crysis and far cry 2 look amazing, nothing i play refuses to run which is a common problem with me cuz i enjoy going retro every now and then with Jedi Knight and Forsaken, i play EVERYTHING and this is a great card for me with amazing performance and even a kick-a** look to boot. I'm running:6gb of DDR2 ram, amd athlon 4200 dual core, and this card Cons: freakin huge card, so make sure you have enough room in your case, i had to juggle a few hard-drives around to fit it in my case. from Newegg.com Pros: Fast when it works, decent cooler Cons: Like many users here on Newegg and elsewhere (Google "Asus 4870 d601") my card is crashing in 3d games. Sometimes it's good for an hour, sometimes for 5 minutes. from Newegg.com Pros: High quality 4 heat pipe Zalman heat sink. Don't worry about it not exhausting air out the rear of your case. from Newegg.com Other Thoughts: I was debating between 5770 but i will be upgrading as soon as the prices are lower for the dx 11 cards. I get 85 -10 fps COD 5 WaW. I think this is pretty good number for 4870. Dont hesitate buying this monster. from Newegg.com Pros: Tons of memory and relatively high clock speeds. I am not running two fo them so I can't comment on SLI performance, but a single card is handling my video editing, blue ray playback, and dual monitors with absolutely no hesistation. Oh yeah, and it has the ability to supply HD audio via DVI to HDMI cable. from Newegg.com Pros: Great Card, Replaced a 512 version with this card. Very Happy. from Newegg.com Runs quietly too. ATI also provides an overclock utility, which I've been wary to test, but I'm sure it'll handle some overclocking without problems (core temperature is idling at 37C right now). Highly recommend getting this card if you're looking at the 4870 series. Built tough, with awesome cooling. from Amazon.com Pros: Now my system is complete! For now. Just purchased my second EAH4870 DK 1G so I could crossfire the buggers. They run beautifully together. from Newegg.com Pros: FastEasy install for crossfireLooks better than everything elseHeatsinks and fan build right in Cons: Fan is open to get touched by curious children hands when your case is open, and poorly routed wires when your case is closed. Other Thoughts: Use secure points, and zip tights to keep your wires away from this cards fan. I have 2 running crossfire, Aion is much better with 2 vs. from Newegg.com
