Vga msi 3870x2 oc edition

Who would want to argue with that? Other than NV fan boys. Crossfire is not supported as of yet either because of the drivers but the card is capable of Crossfire and will be available in near future driver updates.

The card runs quite warm but that is to be expected of a dual GPU card. It idles at 56c but hits 80c at full load. Overall Review: It consumes around watts idle but when you push it to its max, it eats around watts so watch out for your power consumption from your PSU. The card is This also means that for the moment you will only be able to Crossfire 2 of these together which technically makes a CrossfireX setup from only 2 cards which is awesome.

Pros: I've been a loyal nvidia junkie for ages. I had an ATI card a long time ago but wasn't very impressed with it. This time around I figured I'd try something different just for the sake of experience and to be honest, I couldn't be happier.

This card will bring any game you own to a new light. It handles Crysis like it's nothing. Definitely a nice jump from my nVidia GTS. Cons: This is a very big card.

As many others have said, make sure your case is big enough. This card is also very very power hungry. I was sweating over my W PSU a little but it handles it like a champ. Make sure you have 2 6-pin power connectors or a 6-pin and an 8-pin. Otherwise you're gonna have issues. This card is basically two 's on one board but with the performance of two 's in Crossfire.

Pros: Rocken card!!! This thing can really wake up an older system and bring it back to life. Cons: Very Large Card! Very HOT card! I contacted MSI support and was informed that the tech support rep had never heard of this issue with the card and I was the first to complain. Pros: Pretty. With 2 of these in CF I can play Crysis on high everything at x Easily best bang for buck Complaints about the fan?

Read other thoughts. Overall Review: If you're worried about the fan being too loud, just download R1vaTun3r and edit the fan settings. You can fully customize the fan speeds, mine ramps up with the temp, and I can never hear it very loud, and my cards only hit 60 degrees under load. G 22" LCD x, 12, 3dMark Almost doubted the card, but got it due to it's support for dx Pros: Outstanding performance for a single card, runs everything maxed out, zero frame stuttering.

I dont care about crysis - silly remake of farcry, that will bring the most high end hardware to its knees due to its third world programming. Cons: the fan is about 20 decibles louder than the rest of my system, making it audibly stand out.

The rev. I didnt buy this to have a Benchmark competition, I bought this to enjoy gaming. Everything full maxed out, smooth and no frame stuttering - commenting on a marginal performance gain in a benchmark, is not a Real World test. Pros: wow what can i say, i bought this card being a bit skeptical about this new series. I always used nvidia GPUs but after seeing what this puppy can do alone, i may buy another and put it in crossfire. Anyhow, its worth the buy if you over clock it, i was able to keep my temperature around 57C under load after i set the fan speed a tad higher.

Also, the price of this card is an excellent compromise for mid grade gamers who want excellent performance. Cons: a bit of tweaking to get all the performance out of it, but i do this for every card so i dont mind a bit. Riva tuner and CCC work wonders. Overall Review: this card is well worth the buy, especially you oblivion lovers out there, i ran this in x with everything maxed, qarl's texture mod, and 4x anti aliasing with 50fps.

Tweak it, the fan moves so much air if you set it higher. Pros: Very fast for the price. Stays cool, can run any game out currently with ease. Crossfire these for extra ownage.

Cons: Fan gets a little noisy in my opinion when the powerplay feature activates during 3d apps. It's relatively quiet at idle. You can get a 3rd party program and tweak the fan settings.
