Advantages: provides more than you expect,cheap price
Disadvantages: cannot be compared to latest technologic ones

I am a life time student who also likes to play games on pc. I have been playing games for years on my pc but I never had the right hardware for gaming and that means I never had a very good gaming experience with my computer, but I really wanted. A few years ago I decided to assemble a new pc for myself as that would help me experience better games on it. I don't have the right financial status for that and so, I had to collect the parts of my ...
...bought the motherboard first,and then started buying other hardware one by one. I left CPU and Graphics Cards to last because they were increasing so fast in technology and the older ones were getting cheaper fast. When I was assembling my pc, AGP cards were already at their end and I just had to get a good AGP card for me, I needed both a good and affordable one. This situation made me buy that card and I have been using it for about 3 or 4 years ... Read review

Advantages: unsurpassed memory speed,complete detailed rendering,production is awesome
Disadvantages: click sound when rendering,could still go for a lower price

When its GeForce,you are assured of a powerful graphic output.Not even with this latest release,its quite outsatnding.with a video output resolution of 2560 by 1600,u cant get anything better than this.I taught of getting this card while i was about rendering my five munites ad with an ad agency down here,i needed it for my organic textures,so i feel it will give my the real product,and the production was marvelous,better than ATi-Radeon that was ...
...about this card because of the latest direct X10 available on vista,so when i heard the card supports direct X10,i considered using it because that might be the next level for graphic artist who will be locked in the world of vista,the memory speed is like a light of speed,but i found out that several times when rendering it makes a kind of click sound,but i couldnt figure out if it was myn Maya 8.5 that caused it,it does that only with the software.anyways,am ...

Advantages: Low price for the performance
Disadvantages: Quite hot under load

I plugged this card into my PCI-E slot and found out that the card lenght is quite long, comparable to Nvidia 9800GTX. It almost reaches the 5.25 drive bay bracket. This single slot graphic card did heat up really fast in no time! hitting 85'c under game load. For this price of the HD 4850, you can probably get a overclocked version of Nvidia 9800 GT. But the HD 4850 won most of the benchmark tests, very impressive price per performance rating. However, ...
...indeed to circulate inside the chasis. So, a proper ventilated chasis is needed. The minimum is to have an intake fan (12cm) and one back exhaust (12cm) or two (8cm) fans for optimum cooling. This card will requrie a reasonbly good power supply. I used a 460w branded PSU which is working flawlessly. ... Read review

Advantages: Performance and price
Disadvantages: Heat and size

...this model HD 4870 from Gigabyte catched my attention due to its price tag and specification. I took this back home as my first ATI product and ended up with a great experience. It performed well, indeed very well for both Directx9 and 10 latest games. It would be a great card for VISTA users as well, especially in native DirectX 10 mode. The graphic performance is stunning. Smooth FPS over 50 shouldn't be a problem in the resolution 1680X1050 (even ...
...GRID). Another step that the users should do is to periodically check for driver update, it will help in attaining better performance for latest games. A few things that might be mindful are the heat, size/lenght of the card. You need a mid-chasis in order to get it properly fit in. The lenght 23cm could be too big to mini-chasis. The heat it generated could be high (up to 80'c on stock fan speed). The suggestion is to get a tool (you can find it ... Read review

Advantages: Can take on any modern day game with ease
Disadvantages: Can run a little hot stock

I did a great deal of thinking before I purchased this video card. My previous card was a 8800 GT Alpha Dog extreme edition. I really think ATI has done a great job with the 4800 series cards but I wanted to go with the top of line so I purchased this one. I must say one thing...It has performed to all the expectations. I am a gamer and build my own systems and being a gamer I demand only the best out of my equipment. With this video card I have ...
...Crysis, Mass Effect, Call of Duty Modern warfare, Quake Wars on max settings with a high fps of around 60+. Most people would say an FPS of 30 is about the lowest one could go to deem a game playable so you can see this card can take that on easily. It does run hot though. There is a after market program called EperTool that you can down load that will let you manually adjust the fan speed for the stock fan speed runs the card at around 70-80 Celsius. ... Read review
