This is just my opinion on the card, very hard to OC , I haven't had a ATI on my computor for some time and wasn't that impressed about this card at all, I would recommend it but wait for awhile to improve more. when you have two major companys competting on their cards nvidia and ATI they are not finding the problems but are shipping them out so use gamers can find them for them, Price wise go with Nvidia better card but i just had to see what the hipe was about for the 4870. sorry none there that ...

After reading the reviews I went out yesterday and picked up this card.
I have spent about 10 hours of pretty hard use and it has not glitched yet.
NOTE: the box does come with adapters to go from 2 4 pin to 1 6 pin power plugs, of course your powersupply still needs to be up to the task.

Rating: - Awesome Card!!
This is the best card ever! The super hot issue is a mith, it's really easy to set a profile and change the fan settings. There are some forums with steps on how to do it. 100% recommended!

Rating: - A Powerful GPU with Outstanding Image Quality at a Reasonable Price
The Visiontek HD 4870 PCI express GPU (graphics processing unit) is an excellent comeback card for ATI (ATI makes the GPU, Visiontek builds the rest of the video card around the ATI GPU). Until recently, ATI had no GPU's to compete with NVIDIA's mid- and top-tier offerings, and NVIDIA was in essence, the only game in town. Fortunately, this has now changed (go Capitalism!). I rate Visiontek's HD 4870 a full FIVE STARS based on the following:
