Pros & Cons

Pros

It runs evreythign i throw at it on ultra graphics putting out amzing detail and bright colors. It's even playable on ultra around 45fps. The right set-up that works well together is most important with pc gaming.

This is the bast upgrade i've done yet! Have had zero problems with the card so far. It generates 7. The neighboring card in my build is a sound blaster recon3d.

Cooling isn't an issue, and runs at pretty decent temperatures (47c while doing nothing, in the 60-70 range while gaming) it's incredibly quiet, as any decent graphics card should be. Great temps too.

This card is enormous, before this i was rocking a lowly nvidia geforce gt 220. This card requires two pcie 6-pin connectors, which is kind of annoying but completely manageable. Comes with molex to pcie adapters if your power supply is that old, or i... Read More

I want to clarify one thing. This video card is superb! This is the first graphics card i bought. All in all, i'm super pleased and i thank everyone that took the time to write down their experiences.

Cons

Video will screw up, mouse cursor also, all text rendering goes weird in my pc screen.

Quality

This card performs wonderfully great graphics with no problems

All these games are in high quality

It blew up my 600w thermaltake purepower psu after two days

Never a hiccup with fps even under full load it never gets very hot and the fan is super quiet

Price

Would recommend to those looking for medium price card

More than 1 monitor is expensive but immensely helps the fluidity of work and being able to run 3 monitors off one card is a major upside

The dirt3 promo is still valid the card paper says it expires on december 31 2011

This is not the most expensive graphics card on the market but i had a stock gc and a 40 gc before this and they couldnt hang w... Read More

Firstly ordered with prime free 2day shipping is the greatest

Packaging/appearance

Come in a very good protected package

Whomever packed my order must have known my intent i ordered a new psu with that the same shipment because it was perfectly pac... Read More

It was one thing to read the reviews that said it was big it was another thing to see it out of its package

The card comes with additional cords in the box

Competitiveness

Pros cant beat the price when compared to the overpriced pos that is nvidia

I have researched a lot on amd 6870 and amd 7770

Scored higher than the average 6870 on passmark g3d mark as well 2939 which is close to the average of a gtx 470

This card costed 160usd in february 2012 and it really confuses me why the price now is 250 when there are clearly much better ... Read More
