Visiontek Radeon HD 6870 1GB GDDR5 PCI-E Video Card
Cons:-Very hot-Seems to keep crashing when overclocked-super loud fan
Pros:-Fast, can play everything on high-good if you get it on sale ($189) Comment:
A decent card although it got very hot, very quickly in furmark. On auto fan settings the card started climbing into the mid80's so I decided to stop the test before it got too high. The fan is also extremely extremely loud. It drowns out the rest of the system fans on 50%. At 100% it sounds like a jet.Also, we have had lots of crashes with a 50 mhz overclock on the core and memory. Backing off to stock settings means no crashes. |
I got it from a sale in NCIX. so far, it's working very good. start to play the game that comes with it.the index in win7 is 7.8 haven't overclock yet. I was expecting a heavy/ solid "boxy" card like the one shown in reviews but received with a new design that looks like Asus card(with only one fan in the middle). no as noisy as previous reviewer say as i slowly rise the fan speed from 50% to 60%. tomorrow will rise more with overclock.
