ATI Radeon HyperMemory™
HyperMemory™ is ATI Radeon’s innovative technology that enables a reduction in the amount of on-board memory on a graphics card without compromising its overall performance.
Its advanced memory management technology makes more efficient use of all the available memory in computers with PCI Express® technology. Graphics applications can share system memory and use fast on-board memory for real-time processing between the graphics card and the computer’s memory. This ultimately increases the affordability of ATI’s Radeon™ graphics technology.

At the time of this writing, I think this card gives you one of the best performance/price ratio. With the IR and MIR, there is no better value - get two of these!

In searching for answers to my freezing issues, I have found a number of people reporting the same problem with 4870s but not much in the way of solutions. I have reloaded WinXP, tried all kinds of Catalyst versions and even upgraded my PSU from a 500w Antec to a 650 Corsair. My old card has no issues when I swap it back in. I may just have lemon, but I do now regret the purchase. I am hoping I will still be able to RMA it.

Great card for the money, my first ATI card ever and I am very happy with it. Runs all the latest game at 1680 x 1050 with 8xAA without a hiccup. Idling power could be a little better but not really an issue for me.

When I first got this card I was extremely happy with it, for the price how could u go wrong? Great performance for great value. But when it came to hooking it to my LCD tv it was another issue all together. In the end it could of been driver related, but after having a evga card for several of years with no issues I had to return it.
