Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

I got this card for my sons new computer (intel 860 with a Asus P55 board). loaded up Halo2 with 1920x1080 resolution and cranked up all the graphics paraments on the game. It played for a while and then I smelled some electronics buring and then the screen kept freezing and crashing windows 7. Exchanged it for another and the new card works fine... Thanks for Amamzon's return policy, i am happy, if i had purchased from newegg or somewhere else, I would have been without a card for some time....
To start off: I am a computer enthusiast for over ten years and love games.
I went from a NVIDIA GeForce 9750 GX2 which has 2 videocards built into one, and the ATI 4870 blows it away (keep in mind the different technologies at play). I've owned this card for over a year and from the moment I received it I was amazed. To start off it's big. It's not as big as the newest cards on the market but it is still a stunning card. You can read the dimensions for yourself and make sure that it fits into your case. Keep in mind to add a few centimeters for the 6-pin cables that power it.
Physical aspects aside, this is the most important part; the performance. The card runs at around 43-60 degrees Celsius depending on the application you're running. The videocard can handle any game on high settings. Disney's Split-Second runs smoothly on high but can't handle very high. Singularity plays smoothly on max settings.
All things considered this card is still a major contender even in today's market.
