Well bought this card April 7th to replace a 5750 that per xfx is evidentally too new to work with my board and said that all the ati radeon 4000 series works. This is a great card when it works well for the short time that it does anyway. I first installed it when running xp but once inside the game which is gta iv it freezes up and horizontal lines across the screen so I thought maybe a driver issue which I downloaded the latest from ati's website so then I got it from xfx which was the same driver. I had just got my windows 7 64bit so I wanted to try that out but it still locks up my computer the exact same way under gta iv and another game I have. I raised the fan speed with the ati control panel and it did help it some and last longer but even with the fan at 100% it still froze my machine. I seriously don't think it's a driver issue as it did the same thing under two different versions of windows with 32 and 64 bit drivers. |

I purchased this card to so I could crossfire it with an existing ATI HD 4890. I was using an old ATI 9800Pro. To say I'mn giddy with excitement would be a gross understatement. Playing all of my games maxed out. Wow! If your stuck with dx 10, get this card. You wil not be disappointed. Way to go ATI. This card is great on it's pwm but crossfired, it's AWESOME. |

My only complaints are that this card is monsterous and it requires two 6 pin power connectors. That's it! Although the size of this behemoth does effect air flow in my case, it's performance more than makes up for it. It's a bargain given it's raw power potential when compared to cards far more expensive. It's a great card for the price. |

I decided to pick this graphics card for my first build. The thing that sold me on this was it had plenty of MB space and DDR5. Plenty of good features and I can game with high graphics without having to compremise on performance. Battlefield Bad Company looks great with this card. |

I haven't been able to use it yet because the computer I bought from this site turned out to be a piece of junk. |

After a year of owning my 8800GTS I decided that I'd had enough choppy graphics on my 42inch LCD. First I decided to try a XFX HD-577A-ZNFC Radeon HD 5770. It was just a tad faster than my old 8800GTS and I wasnt impressed at all. Then I tried this ATI beast and it blew NVIDIA out of the water. Benchmarks were way better and graphics were super smooth. Running everything on highest possible settings. XFX Radeon HD 4890 received some of the higest benchmarks. Just look it up. Only thing I recommend, besides buying this card, is upgrading your CPU if you have an older one. I had an AMD 64x 6400 and it was bottlenecking the card. I then bought a Phenom II 940. Thats when this card really shinned. I highly recommend it. Only con about this card is that its very loud. Its ok, though since I wear headphones. |

I had to replace my dying GeForce 8800GT. My display driver was crashing all the time, even when I wasn't gaming. After troublshooting many many options, I ultimately decided it was the video card that needed to go, and figured I'd step away from NVIDIA and try ATI. This new Radeon 4890 has run everything like a champ so far, including Mass Effect 2 which I just picked up. Anyway, after a couple weeks of use, so far so good! |

So easy to install. driver setup was cake. just make sure you have enough room in your case... only slight problem i ran into was that the bottom plastic clip things that hold the memory sticks in only had enough room to open about half way before hitting the card, but wasn't a big deal. probly varies with each motherboard. This card runs crysis like a Champ. can overlook a village and jungle and flick the mouse back and forth with no drop in framerate.. Love It. |

Had it for about a month now. Runs all the games (GTA IV, Far Cry 2, STALKER, to name a few) I play at high details with no stuttering. The fan on the card is a little loud, but the card temperature is kept roughly 50 celcius under load, so that balances out (and to be honest I don't find the humm bothersome although some people may). I must say that this card is well worth its price. |

Upgraded from a 9600GSO to this beast. Also upgraded the mobo, and went from a PD 3.0ghz to a Core 2 Duo E7500. Running Mass Effect 2 all highest settings, x16 anti aliasing, and 60fps and higher frame rate, this card rules. :) |

Went and purchase this card to replace my 9600GT SLI setup. With anti-aliasing X8 and anisotropic filtering X16 on, it still doubled my frame rate in most games then the dual 9600GT. I found the noise from this card was pretty much stander, actually quieter then my dual 9600GT. I would recommend this card to anyone upgrading to Direct X10. With a lifetime warranty offered by XFX this is the best card you can get for around $200. |

This card is well worth your money! It's not that expensive and has incredible performance. Easy to install, 2 dvi ports for dual monitors and can run any modern game, all on ultra high! Running it on Win7 x64 and have had no crashes yet, that includes any games! Awesome video card! |

She ran every game I could throw at her with everything maxed out (resolution,anti-a,textures,etc), and she hasn't even broken a sweat! She screams through COD:MW2, FC2, N4S:Undercover, Dirt2, etc, etc, all at 1920x1080 with everything maxed... smooth as silk! Best bang for your buck in my opinion. |

This is the best graphics card for the price. Period. Works fine, I am playing Crysis on HIGH, not Ultra High, and nearly getting 70 FPS all the time. Just wondering if it will play Aliens vs Predator as well, because it it DirectX 11... |

I see that some Reviewer named Cocoabutter had some real issues with this Video Card and low and behold he is the only reviewer that has a problem with it. My suggestion to Cocoabutter is take your PC in and get it fixed and have someone that knows what they are doing upgrade the Drivers for you because you must be doing something wrong (Its as simple as that) I have seen hundreds of reviews on this card and never a bad one. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!!!!! |

This card is the best card out there for the price. Ranked 4th on Passmark Software's Video Card Benchmark Test. What more you can ask for, it handles all games with no lag. Great warranty to go along with an amazing card. |

I Bought 2 of these cards after talking with XFX directly thinking there were a crossfire bridge interconnect cable included in each box,but it does'nt come with the cable.so if you plan to do a crossfire config. you had better plan on getting the needed components.Overall I'm happy with the product. |

bought 2 of these and have them crossfired. Tearing through games at max graphic settings on a 1080p lcd with ease. |
for those who got some problems with this card check your Clocks(Mhz), looks like power(PSU) or overclocking problem. This card simply the best on the market for the price and performance i can't find any better than that.
