Great Card
- Pros: This is a great video card. Runs everything I throw at it at high settings.
- Cons: Price, Poor drivers until recently (9.2) The overall size of the card, it is huge. the card takes up 3 slots and is quite long. It even dwarfs my old 8800gtx. Fans are loud at full speed
- Other Thoughts: Turning the fan speed down to 75% drops the noise to a much better level, 50% is about as quiet as it gets but i wouldn't turn it down that far unless your only watching movies or something for a while.
Best PCIe GFX money can buy End of story
- Pros: Not since the ASUS EAX1900XTX have I had so much pleasure from a GFX Card.
Once again Asus has done the impossible & made what potentialy could have been the biggest FAIL ever into what certainly is the best GFX card on the market to date...
This card, I hope, will outlast any other brand / revision in the DX 10.xx for years to come just like the EAX1900XTX did.
My card runs cooler than advertised (perhaps the case & setup), runs rings around every card it has been tested against, even cards that are overclocked have not stood up to this card at stock settings.
Works perfectly on an Asus M4A79 Deluxe mobo and takes full advantage of the 790FX, a marriage made in cyber heaven for sure.
Early ATi Drivers held it back a tad causing a minor upset, the latest on offer makes this card bulletproof.
This puppy & it's twin (when it arrives) can handle everything I throw at it without breaking a sweat.
Every Game MAXED OUT & yeilding Frame rates never before seen.
BUY IT
- Cons: Minor issues, not the card itself tho'...
Didn't come with the free game that was on offer at the time.
Needed a new mobo as the old board I had lost 2 SATA's due to size but then it was an old board made for cards a few generations older...
The driver disk that come with it & the other goodies on it... drop it in the trash, visit Asus & grab everything from their FTP.
As I said, no faults with the card, just minor issues with things around it.
- Other Thoughts: As I said, I have not seen performance like this from anything other than an Asus EAX1900XTX which I purchased over 4 years ago & still plays any game maxed out...
When you spend the money on the best that Asus has to offer you are buying something that you won't need to replace every 6 months to keep up with everybody else.
There is an old saying: "Buy Once, Cry Once",
In other words, it may cost a packet but it will be the only purchase needed for quite some time...
Buy a lower ended version or another brand & you will be buying again in the not too distant future.
Running this card out to a pair of 40 inch sony bravia KDL-40WL140's with 120Hz refresh on every game maxed out on Win 7 64 bit Beta & the latest Cat' drivers... the card does not break a sweat under full load & runs cooler than the advertised temps.
Grab a mobo with at least the 790FX chipset & you won't regret spending 1/2 a grand on a dual GPU.
If only the cat' drivers & panel would report the Ram as is.
Driver problems
- Pros: None right now.
- Cons: One of the 4870 is working and the other one is showing this: Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)
I removing the old ATI software and driver. I also used DriverSweeper and Driver Cleaner then installed the new 9.2 driver with no fix to the second gpu.
- Other Thoughts: I'm running Vista 64 with ASUS P6T Deluxe V2 LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX
