As with all 3870 cards it has that damned fan speed issue but is easily corrected with speedfan or if you are daring a biod change.

I just receive it and I have to said WOW. Very big upgrade from my old 9800Pro that I have on my old rigg. The heatsink is all copper with heatpipe. Only one slot card, but will be perfect for my Antec 900.

I purchased this card after checking pricing and performance of other brands I'd normally purchase. For the price I couldn't say no to buying this card even with a friend of mine not recommending Visiontek.

This thing overclocks like a BEAST. It's cheaper than Asus's EAH3870 and it does better. After voltmodding, i can take the thing to 990Mhz core clock which gets me 14099 3dmark06. :D

GREAT CARD! Able to play all the new games. Doesn't need 5000 watts of power to run. Quiet when playing high demanding games. Touchy when over clocking but over all a damn good card!!

The CrossFire drivers still need some help on certain games, but hopefully that will clear up in the next couple driver releases. AMD has come up with a great series, with their low prices it leaves the door open to CrossFire. Highly recommended with an X38 or P35 boards for CF.In general this card is an interesting product with low price and good performance.
