Visiontek Radeon HD 4870
Strengths: Great Card for its price. Alot faster than my 8800 GT.
Weakness: Huge card, wont fit in most cases. This thing is really hot 80 degrees celsius at bootup.
I bought this card and it is hands down an amazing card for the price. I mostly play Crysis and this has no problems playing with all settings on high 1440*900 getting a stable 40+ fps. It breezes thru games without any issue and should be able to play any game for years to come. The only real issue I have with it is it gets really hot really fast. It starts off at 80 degrees celsius and gets to 90+ when playing a game. I was able to modify the fan with a program and that dropped it to 50 at idle and 55-60 degrees during game play, however the fans at 50% which I have them set to, are really loud. About as loud as a desk fan.
The only other issue with this card is that its huge. It fits in my case fine (Rosewill Conqueror) but thats a huge case. This thing wont fit into most cases.
Also for those of you without 2 PCI Express cables, this came with an adapter, so thats a huge plus.
Overall I'd highly recommend this card. It provided me with no lag in any game I've played. Well worth the money, very easy to install, and a great buy. I'd give it 4.5/5 stars.
