The only thing better than this card is two of them. Sold my first one so I could pick up newer heatsink ver. Have one more on order. Plays on 3200 MB/AMD 6000/ 4 gigs XFire OCZ6400/ P&C 750 XFire PS. SM245tu1900x1200 for nice vis. All Games set at max or very close. Decided this route as X2 cards are either gddr3 with pci2.0 or gddr4 with pci1.0. This card is gddr4 AND pci2.0. Why buy last years tech even if it is on a new card?      » READ MORE

This was my first top of the line video card purchase, and I love it. Being able to play Team Fortress 2 on 1680x1050 on highest settings possible with x8 AA and x16AF feels like you are in one awesome pixar cartoon. Handles any UT3 engine game easily.       » READ MORE

Before I purchased this card, I did at lot research. I wanted a great card at the best price possible. I narrowed my choice down to one of three cards....the NVidia 8800GT and 9600GT and also the Diamond Radeon HD 3870. I initially decided on the 9600 GT but the card was back-ordered so I thought I'd take a chance and go with HD 3870. Well...what a surprise! I'm playing Crysis with all the settings cranked up to the max and have not encountered any problems or glitches whatsoever. Everything is beautiful. It runs very quietly. This is a big card but it should fit most cases. I have it installed on a MicroATX MB in a Micro Fly MicroATX case. I had to trim a very tiny bit off the back of the drive cage to accommodate the hump on the card from the card's fan but no big deal. You need a minimum 450 watt power supply. I highly recommend this card.       » READ MORE

Aside from this thing being HUGE and unwieldy, I can find no problems with it. Obviously, as a dual-slot solution, it's gonna be huge. That said, I'm very impressed with this card's performance, so much so that after I put one in my girlfriend's machine, I bought one myself. A great buy.      » READ MORE

Great card! I bought this puppy with the $40 off and even with next day shipping this thing was under $240! I would STRONGLY recommend ALL GAMERS (those who can afford) to buy 2x of these things and CF them ASAP! I'm getting the 790FX motherboard from ASUS and a Phenom 9600 very soon and even with my weak A$$ x2 4400+ this thing runs WoW 40+ FPS everything maxed!!! Same with Cs Source, and even Hellgate London 1920x1440!!! BUY THIS BEAUTY WITH CONFIDENCE!!!!!

I got this for Crossfire, and it's great that this will work in mixed Crossfire with any Radeon 3xxx cards. It's nice and quiet, and the dual slot cooler exhausts air outside the case.      » READ MORE
