ATI Radeon HyperMemory™
HyperMemory™ is ATI Radeon’s innovative technology that enables a reduction in the amount of on-board memory on a graphics card without compromising its overall performance.
Its advanced memory management technology makes more efficient use of all the available memory in computers with PCI Express® technology. Graphics applications can share system memory and use fast on-board memory for real-time processing between the graphics card and the computer’s memory. This ultimately increases the affordability of ATI’s Radeon™ graphics technology.
√
ATI Radeon PowerPlay™
Advanced power management technology for optimal performance and power savings. Performance-on-Demand allows you to constantly monitor GPU activity and dynamically adjust clocks and voltage based on user scenarios.

This card is great for the money. Handled most things I threw at it fine. It's a great price per dollar. xfx has great support and double lifetime warranty. I liked this video card unfortunately the one I got started giving me problems down the month and so I returned it to NCIX and instead of getting new one I Decided to save for a 5870. I'd reccomend this card if your on a budget.

Why is this so cheap? Because people don't notice the "little things" that make this really bad: Blows air INTO case, raising all temps, takes up nearly 3 mATX slots (had to remove my sound card), requires a proper ventilated case, need 2-6 pin connectors instead of 1 like most cards. I recommend this only to serious gamers who have good case ventilation and noise isolation in there cases.

This really kicks the crap outta most nvidia cards at a cheaper price. If you don't care much for dx11, get this card since the new ones are a bit overpriced relative to this card's performance.

Upgraded from an old All in wonder 800XL... so it was quite a leap. It works very well for it's price, I can play most of the games I play at max/ultra settings, and get max FPS.

Back a month ago, I was deciding to go for either a 5770 or two 4870. I end up buying two 4870s because the price of two 4870s was almost $100 cheaper than a 5770 and almost perform as well - without the DX11 of cause.

It's a good card for the price. Run all my games perfectly. Warranty is great when you sell your card later. The only complain I have is about the MIR which I didn't receive last time from XFX.

Great Card for Great Price. Enough for most of the games and applications out there. Have no issues so far. However, still gotta do my rebate for this card and another product.

I recently bought this card to replace my Diamond HD 3870 1GB and never thought I would buy a non-reference card, but the $149 price tag and $20 MIR sold me on it.
