GIGABYTE Radeon HD 6870 GV-R687OC-1GD Video Card with Eyefinity
Cons:Longer than Reference. Overclock is only 915 versus 900. Stock memory clock.

Pros:Runs cooler than Reference HD6870.
Comment:
Great price (Web deal+30$MIR). Comes with two free games.Huge card; I had to modify my case to avoid interference with hard drives.Runs great in Crossfire with a Sapphire 6870 reference card. Put this card in the top slot. This card does not exhaust hot air outside the case so make sure your case has sufficent cooling especially if you want to run two of these cards in CF.Minor issue with Sapphire Trixx Utility. This software cannot read GPU voltage correctly because this card runs at 0.945V instead of 1.175

GIGABYTE Radeon HD 6870 GV-R687OC-1GD Video Card with Eyefinity
Cons:Huge card, had to pick up an active mDisplay port adaptor $$$

Pros:Runs pretty much everything at max settings
Comment:
Set up with 1 of these cards, don't think I'll pick up a second one as this card is huge, not sure if it'll fit. Using eyefinity, 3 screens and no issues.

Comment:
Run starcraft 2 at ultra in a snap. It can deal with each and every game I throw at it. I don't play heavy graphic game like crysis two though but I'm positive this card will run that game at med-high setting.Quite cool card, temp at 38-40 on med to high load, and it's not that noisy. Massive! Crossfire two cards will leave no room for my antec 300. Terrific card come with great cost. Now waiting for the price to go down for xfire.

GIGABYTE Radeon HD 6870 GV-R687OC-1GD Video Card with Eyefinity
Cons:-Mail in rebate-Very tight fit in most cases-Has issues with some games you need to research fixes for

Pros:-Quiet-Cool-Looks sharp-Plays the latest games on max settings
Comment:
Well, so far so good. This bad boy runs so quiet compared to my old GTS 250 I upgraded from and so much cooler. Finally, games in DX11 looking the way they're were meant to be seen. It comes 915/1050MHz stock out of the box but I'm running 980/1225MHz right now without any problems at all and an increase of maybe 2 degrees. It came with 2 free games that are still $49.99 each. Deus Ex runs completely maxed out at a 1080p resolution and I haven't seen it drop  below 85 FPS. I highly recommend this card.

GIGABYTE Radeon HD 6870 GV-R687OC-1GD Video Card with Eyefinity
Cons:none

Pros:- Quiet- Cool- Very easy to OC- Max settings, no lag
Comment:
Great card. Cool, quiet, easily oc'd it to around 950 and 1150 using CCC. Using a 22" monitor g1680x1050 resolution and it's playing everything maxed out (BC2 etc). Running with a 2500k g4ghz 8gb system. My friend was convinced to pick one up to upgrade from his 4870 (which is what I upgraded from as well) and he's also been very happy with it.

GIGABYTE Radeon HD 6870 GV-R687OC-1GD Video Card with Eyefinity
Cons: None so far

Pros:Price, performance.
Comment:
I've thrown 4 games at this card so far with full blown graphics and I've yet to see a chop or drop  in framerate (sandybridge system, i5 2500K, 8gigs 1600 ram). Witcher2, BFBC2, Civ5, and FEAR3. Also the temp has not gone over 69 degrees celcius. While waiting for my order to arrive I was debating on buying another for Xfire, but after trying it out I dont need to (for now). 160$ well spent, I love it!

GIGABYTE Radeon HD 6870 GV-R687OC-1GD Video Card with Eyefinity
Cons:~Couldn't reach 1GHz~MIR instead of IR

Pros:~Quiet Fan~Easy overclock~Low Temps~7.8 WEI score
Comment:
This card is really powerful and the cooler really keeps the temps down. I managed to get 980/1125 fairly easily using CCC (newest version). I'm not sure why a lot of people are having so much trouble overclocking this card... It is really easy to OC using AMD Overdrive in the CCC, it just involves moving the slider a bit.I haven't tried this on games yet (have to re-install them after I changed my OS drive). This card score 7.8 in windows 7 performance test.After I overclocked the card, it doesn't go above 70 degrees while doing Furmark burn-in test at 1080p. The card idles at around 38 degrees. Make sure you have good airflow in your case though.
