This card is amazing! You will get Blazing graphics coming out form your monitor or HD TV. I'm a gamer and I like to play games at Full Specs, I play Crysis at 1600x1050 with 8x anti aliasing without problems.

Its a big card, so consider your mainboard and PSU, because the card will make some connectors useless.

I have compared with a NVIDIA GFX 260 and I got better performance from the ATI HD 4870.
Surprise. Surprise.

I have to hand it to ATI...er....AMD....on the launch of this card.

I was doubtful, but wanted to put it to the test. Using 3Dmark, I was able to score over 20k using this card.

System config:
Intel Q6600
XFX 780i Motherboard
Sapphire HD4870
Corsair Dominator
Cosair 750w Power Supply
WD 150GB Raptor
Antec Nine Hundred

I have to admit that the card is pretty large, but so are the GTX series cards from NVIDIA. I had a tough time getting two of these to fit in my NINE HUNDRED case from Antec. Eventually I gave up because I couldn't get two to fit in the case.

So I did what anyone would do who bought two cards, and built another system! (i've got a 3rd car garage filled with parts, it's out of control)

I was surprised at the performance of the card. I play COD4 for atleast 3 hours a day and this card eats it up with no problems.

I have to give big props to Amazon.

I'm starting to buy more and more components from Amazon because of the free shipping, no tax, and they are sharp on price surprisingly!

Great buy

This card is magnificent, with the new catalyst drivers thus baby runs any new generation game with ease, paired with my new core i7 920 it is more than enough to run crysis at max settings. I plan to buy the second and do crossfire and relax for a while with it's incredible performance.
Excellent card for a nice price

This card is excellent. I tried GTA IV, fallout 3, Prince Of Persia 2008, Dead Space and Gears of War . If you want a good graphics - like 1600*1200 - for a nice price you should buy this card and relax for a while with it's excellent performance.
Great Performance

This is a perfect match to the ASUS P6T6 MOBO with an Intel I7 965 Extreme Core CPU. Impressive graphics performance.
