XFX HD487AZWFC Radeon HD 4870 1 GB DDR5 PCI-E 2.0

I can run Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising at the full settings!!!! With my old dual Nvidia 7600gt's I could barely run it on 800X600.
It is a great card so far!
FYI - it is a HUGE card. It takes up a lot of space. Thing is probably about 10 inches long.
Also, it wants dual 6 pin plugs straight from your power supply to run. If you don't have those I recommend updating your power supply.

I replaced my old GeForce 7600 GT with this card in order to keep up with the times. I've never bought a Radeon card before, and I remembered why almost immediately after I installed it. The card ran ridiculously hot with just stock cooling. I understand I only had 1 top case fan - intake and 1 side case fan - exhaust (then there is also the CPU fan/GPU fan). The card was at 70°C IDLE. Yes it was very hot. I ran Crysis on Max settings for about 10 minutes until artifacts kicked in and everything froze. The card was at 99°C when it restarted.

I moved the fan up a couple PCI-E slots and rigged a new side fan right next to the card [intake] because there's a nice opening in the bottom of my case that would allow airflow. After putting this on and manually setting the fan speed [Using CCC] to 100% - I can run Crysis [Max] at about 70°C - 80°C 100% Load, I get around 30-40FPS. The addition of a new 120mm fan along side the 100% GPU fan is very loud. I can bare the loud noises...Read more

Good card, crossfire cable is kinda short for proper placement for good airflow in crossfire mode. Had to buy thermalright heatsinks to rectify the overheating problems. This also made it a lot quieter and cooler by ditching the stock cooling system. I paid $220 for my original 4870 card and only paid $165 for this one. Almost doubled my avg fps in warhammer 40k. Went from 47fps to 89fps avg on ultimate settings at 1920x1080p.
