URL: http://www.hardwareheaven.com/reviews/1639/pg1/powercolor-pcs-hd7870-m
Comment: When it comes to value the PowerColor PCS+ 7870 Myst is hard to fault.
Posted by: David_H @03/28/13
URL: http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/powercolor_hd7870_myst/
Comment: The card offers performance above that of the GTX 660 and at times the GTX 660Ti for this price.
Posted by: David_H @03/28/13
URL: http://hexus.net/tech/reviews/graphics/49569-powercolor-radeon-hd-7870
Comment: Solid in terms of pure performance but a little lacking in other areas, notably power-draw and noise, the PowerColor HD 7870 Myst straddles a thin sliver of middle ground that limits its appeal to those who want to spend less than £200 on their next graphics card and don't mind sacrificing all-r

URL: http://www.bjorn3d.com/2013/03/powercolor-hd-7870-myst-edition/#.UU-5N
Comment: The performance is great with the card pulling numbers well above the Pitcairn based 7870's and just below the Tahiti based 7950 GPUs.
Posted by: David_H @03/24/13
URL: http://www.legitreviews.com/article/2156/1/
Comment: Lenthgy detailed review of the Tahiti LE in the Myst Shroud. Summary: "The PowerColor PCS HD7870 MYST uses the 'new' AMD Tahiti LE core that is found on Radeon HD 7900 GPUs and performs better than the AMD Radeon HD 7870 GHz edition!"

Comment: If you are in the market for a card capable of delivering a great game play experience at 1920x1080 resolutions, then look no further than the PowerColor HD 7870 MYST as it provides near Radeon HD 7950 level performance for Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition pricing.

I bought this as a gift to upgrade my brother's 5850. He noticed the speed bump immediately. Vast improvement in playing his games. SO for this I'm giving the card 5 stars, even though it may get loud at higher loads. Also, don't plan on overclocking it so the firmware upgrade to bios 032 is not necessary for me. (Read More)

A common complaint for this card is the heat and noise but with a bit of tweaking it can be completely irrelevant. The noise at high fan speed is the one thing you can't really help, but you can definitely manage the heat so it doesn't force the fan to blow hard.

The factory set core voltage of this fan is ridiculously high, contributing to a ton of fast heat build up. It can be anywhere between 1188-1250ish mV. You can overclock this card AND you don't even need to be anywhere near these numbers. I recommend you find an overclocking software to reduce the core voltage to 950mV base, which would cool down this card on load big time. Currently running +8%power limit with 1150/1500 on 950mV.

This card is a beast. For the 230$ I paid after rebates and shipping, it is definitely worth the money. At first I had some heat problems but I added 2 more fans to my case and made a collective push/pull sequence (cycle air in from front and back then exhaust through side). It overclocked well to 1225 core and 1550 memory, but nothing further. Plays any game I throw at it maxed out including Tomb Raider and Bio-shock, which coincidentally come free with it! I might have to pick up a second one if my pocket allows. (Read More)

Had an old ATI4870 and this is WAY faster than it. NCIX shipped quickly - good experience. Card, so far, works flawlessly. Only caveat is it was quite a bit longer than my old 4870 so I had to make a minor mod to my Antec case to get it in. Otherwise smiles across the board. (Read More)

Great card for the money.

Going from a GTX9800+ to this card made a noticeable difference even before increasing in game settings. (Read More)

Just picked up this card yesterday...my first card going into the gaming scene. I'm in amazement, no lower then 55fps on bf3 on ultra. This card's a beast! Stays under 70C on near to full load. At lowest fan setting, 25%, fan is inaudible. Auto fan control never ramps it over 50%. At 50% the fan is audible but not annoying, 100% however, it is quite loud, even with a closed case, but not necessary for gaming. Reviews compare it to a 660 ti, for a cheaper price, who wouldn't go for it, got it for $234.99 + $20 MIR, can't go wrong! The overclocking is excellent on this card, reviews got it to 1.2ghz stable w/o voltage tweak; currently at 1ghz. Memory overclocks to 130mhz above stock. Overall amazing card for the price, performance, noise, etc. Lving it so far! (Read More)
