I received my brand new HIS Radeon HD3870 just a few days ago, and I'll say I'm pretty impressed (for $220 I'd better be). The card allows me to play any Source engine game on maximum quality with V-Sync turned on on a twenty inch LCD running at 1680x1050. After replacing the stock thermal compound with some Arctic Cooling MX-2 thermal paste, the card idles at forty degrees centigrade and under load, maxes out at sixty-eight centigrade. Very much worth every penny.

I really like this card I play bioshock and half life 2 right now and both at max settings this card doesn't jump or anythin. I was a little liery going with ATI but I am more than happy I have it set at 875mhz and 1200 and I have not had any problems I played bio for 3 hrs and it never even bumped once so I bet it will go higher

No tweaking required. Factory overclocked means it's FAAST out-of-the-box.

Been running this card for about a month, it's been very stable, the 8.3 version of Catalyst showed a performance boost in games, can run Crysis at max, runs fine. Works great in world of warcraft as well, everything to max even AA.

Would have been great if it lasted longer than a day and a half, or 10 mins of gaming, lol. Hopefully the 2nd won't quit so soon, or ever, hopefully.

Replaced this with 2 x1950pros (ICEQ3 Turbos) and have about the same performance, sometimes better in certain games that don't scale well in Crossfire. Will be picking another one up as soon as the price drops near $200.
