XFX ATI Radeon HD 5870 XXX 1 GB DDR5 2DVI/HDMI/DisplayPort PCI-Express Video Card HD587AZND9

excelent.

I bought this video card because at the time it was the best on the market. This particular one is an XXX Edition meaning that its overclocked by the manufacturer. It does NOT work properly with factory settings. I had to decrease the VRAM's frequeny from the original 1300 MHz to 1200 MHz so that it would not die with a blue screen every half hour. After this it worked flawlessly for about 5 months. Then it started showing pink color instead of whites and greys, which is very annoying. Tried to fix it with a reboot, but then it wouldn't even start and hasn't worked since then. I'm very disappointed with this product and I'm returning it to XFX. Also, I would recommend to buy two HD6850s for this price which generally have have a better performence (not from XFX, of course).

I just picked one of these XFX 5870 XXX edition video cards and it is sweet. From what I've been told it is the fastest 5870 on the market and I believe it. The install was a little screwy because it wanted to scale the viewable screen size to about an inch from the edges but I went into the catalyst program and manually scaled it. That's the only problem I've had. I've clocked it up to 1100/1300 and it has not crashed yet even during very strenuous 3d tests and very graphics intensive games. I'm very pleased so far and have experienced zero problems so far. It was a huge step up from 2 8800 GTS 512's running in SLI.The rig it's running in: MSI k9n2 SLI Platinum MB, AMD 955 Black, 8GB Kingston HyperX ram. So far I'm getting around 60fps in some of the busiest games. I can't imagine crossfiring 2 or more of these unless you're running a huge monitor or 2.Update: After using it for a while I got rid of it. I ran into some conflicts between the 10.2 drivers and autocad which is what I primarily use my rig for. Fast card just not stable at all with autocad open. I got a BFG gtx 295 and it has been golden for both gaming and autocad.
