Cons:
Huge price jump from lesser models
Pros: Great performance Comment:
Playing any game older than a year gives perfect 60+ FPS performance, and recent games all play quite well. This thing can even play Crysis! Running this with an AMD Phenom II X6 Black Edition overclocked to 3.6GHz and it can handle anything I throw at it with ease. Easily runs multiple clients in windowed mode at the same time---useful for all the MMO players or casual gamers out there. |

It's not a Radeon HD 5970??
Pros: It's a Radeon HD 5870 Comment:
This is pretty much like any other Radeon HD 5870's out there. I'm pretty impressed by the packaging done by XFX though, it's very compact and neat. I found that the plastic cover over the card felt a little flimsy, when I was slotting it into the motherboard the plastic cover wiggled quite a bit and felt like it was going to come off. As someone who haven't upgraded in a while, it's pretty shocking to see how long this card is. |

Cons:
Could be a little cooler, but it's still pretty good in that aspect compared to Fermi.
Pros: Incredibly powerful. Runs anything I can throw at it at max settings without a hiccup. Comment:
The guy who said that this is an "overclocked 5850" is wrong. It does, have a core clock speed 1GHz higher than the 5850, but it also has a fair amount more stream processors than the 5850 does. YOU need do your research before you try to mislead people when you don't know what you're talking about. |

None
Pros: XFX warrantyGreat power managementLooksIt's a 5870! Comment:
Great card, plays all of today's games extremely well. I have it powered by a Antec Earthwatts 650W PS with no problems, it says that this card is 11" long but I measured it at 10 1/4". The auto fan management works really well, fan spools up when needed. Highly recommended. |

Cons:
Quite loud at default driver settingsCould be more power efficientCrossfire doesn't get as close to double the performance as i'd like (in comparison to SLI).
Pros: LooksPowerGood cooling Comment:
Have 2 of these in Crossfire and couldn't be happier.They're not reference boards so i guess they have limited overclocking potential, but honestly I won't need to push two of these cards for a while. Crysis 2 will probably be the first challenge.Happy so far with these cards. |

Pros: -performance-looks-xfx warranty and support Comment:
A great card, quite powerfull. I have a reference asus my self and bought this one for my friend's newest machine. Card was packaged small and well. It works great and no problems so far, can play the latest games on high depending on your other specs. Best part is the support and double life time warranty from xfx though. Got it when it was 369. |

Cons:
Fan on auto runs at ~57% while ref ATI cooler runs at ~29%. Fan is located in the middle so some hot air is sent back into the case. Power connectors are at the back of card while ref card are at the top so even tho the card is short then the ref card, the placement of the power connections negate any pros/cons
Pros: Card runs cooler then the card with the ATi reference cooler. Shorter the the ref card. Comment:
I am running three 5870's for tri crossfireX. Two Sapphire and one XFX. The XFX idles at ~27-29c and the Sapphires at ~38-39C with ambient temp at ~22c. Overall a very good buy at the one time offer NCIX had d ~$370cdn with no rebate. Did not try OCing since Tri CrossfireX does not OC well for me. With two cards I can maintain ~900 core but not with three cards. Really the only game that my setup (i7/920 d 4.0) has probms with is Metro 2033 at 2560x1600 with max settings to maintain a min 60fps. |
