Review By B. Haverlock ( Orange County, CA ) :
Replaced a broken 5870 with this 6870 and I am pretty happy (the 5870 is supposed to be faster than the 6870, for those of you who didn't know). This runs MUCH quieter and at from what I have seen the same speeds. I never hear the fan go on. It does not run cooler, however, than the 5870. I also noticed that if you enable ATI overdrive the idle clock speed goes up to 300mhz instead of 100mhz which seems wasteful when you are not playing games. I overclocked it by 50mhz on the core and 35mhz on the memory without doing anything, which was nice. Other than that, you basically will be able to play anything you throw at it that is out there today. Crysis Warhead still has some hiccups, but the 5870 had them too when it wasn't blue screening.
This is definitely the best bang for your buck that you can get at the moment. Don't have any specific comments for the fact that this is an
HIS vs any of the other board manufacturers.
Got this card over the Nvidia GTX 460. It runs smooth, no issues. So far the most intense games I play has to be MS Flight Sim X, ARMA II, and ROF, as far as graphic settings go. This card has no problems with everything turned to max, etc. Using lastest drivers from AMD, all is good!
