  • Well it was good for me until now, when I turn my pc on the graphics card makes a very loud noise and the screen won't pick up. I would say the fan is gone and will need to buy a new graphics card. If anyone knows what's wrong with it tell me.

  • whats the best card out now?

  • Man how the Crap to reinstall the BIOS for this graphic CARD???? cuz im getting only fucking bluescreens with "ATKMPAG.SYS" ..i have to reinstall the BIOS to fix that ...

  • @zomgbbqwth

    nvidia has better drivers and good linux/unix support

  • @Intanius Remember the 196.75 forceware drivers? They killed video cards and that left many people shit out of luck. I was one of them. I have owned 5 Nvidia cards all of which died. I have owned 2 Ati cards that are still working. Both companies have great performance but I just got sick of throwing money at Nvidia. I have seen some funky stuff with Ati drivers but I have seen problems with Nvidia drivers too.

  • Can I crossfire two 1GB models with a 620w power supply?

  • Wil this card run on a Biostar mcp6p m2+ MoBo? If it will, ill get it.

  • why is this gpu cheaper than my 4670? Its in stock and for £44 including VAT

    £52 including postage and its from mis.

    Real deal. Why WHY!?!?!? WHY DID I GET 4670 BECAUSE OF MY CRAP POWER SUPPLY :(

  • @Avataryoutuification the 4670 still is a great card.

  • @nelizmastr Meh - too some extent.

  • $350? got a 1gb nvidia geforce for $100

  • @hunter5284 do you even know what a videocard is?

  • @hunter5284 Which will suck 4870's balls like in a millisecond.

  • I love both ATi and nVidia. I'm going with the GTX 470 over a 5870 because it's about $70 cheaper and I can overvolt it much easier and get much higher FPS than the 5870. I still love ATi though!

  • if you want to use win7's dx11, you need 5850 and above~ that series is the only 1 with dx11 support from ati~ i dono abt 5830 but i'm sure about 5850 and 5870 and 5970 and above are dx11 competible~

  • @zomgbbqwth

    sorry abt that, i just saw a video saying that 5750 is the most basic dx11 card from ati~ :)

    so yea~ like i said "i dono abt...." so yea~ now i know~ HD5750~

  • @zomgbbqwth any ati radeon 5xxx support dx11.

  • Funny how he didn't mention the price. Probably over 200$.

  • @magno172 no man its 130 $ in america or even cheaper

  • @magno172 today it is around 100 euros, 1gb version is about 130 euros.

  • Hey is this card almost the same size as a 4350? If not, I'm sad...:(

  • @

    Bloxxertildeath

    lol HD 4870 3times bigger than the 4350

  • lol...

  • Is this the same thing like the GTS 250?

  • no the gts 250 its like a hd 4850 and this is like a gtx 260

  • i wonder a chieftec psu of 750 watt says its for crossfire and sli well in m case iam wondering if i can make crossfire from 4870s and is 750 watt gonna be enough or what cause its quite complicated when i hear in tiger direct the guy says atleast 850 watt for one !

  • I love how he says dongle :O

  • u probably want his dongle in your throat

  • DONgle

  • will this graphics card work smoothly with a intel dual cpu e2180 2.0 ghz ?

    someone please tell me fast i wanna buy this graphics card tomorrow

  • @KronoReaper no, ur processor will bottle neck it, get a good named 500W power supply and get a E7200 or E8400 but if u can get AMD 720x3, the AMD 720x3 @ 3.1GHz out performs a E8400@3.9GHz, replay back

  • how much is it

  • what should i get

    2x 4850 512mb

    or

    4870 1gb

  • At the moment, I think you should get DX11 cards like the HD5850/70 or HD5770...

    But I think you'll get better performance with two HD4850 as with an HD4870!

  • @SgticeOnCp well get the 4850x2 if you can, it only falls behind the 4870x2 by a few fps e.g crysis, its like 2-4 fps behind, make sure u got a good processor and good power supply replay :D

  • When a CPU has multiple cores, the speed doesn't add up.

    So you will have a triple core CPU running at 2.2Ghz not 6.6Ghz.

    Remember to get a good quality PSU, like from Thermaltake, Corsair, OCZ..etc

  • @dchains alx

  • @dchains

    just to add for some people who dont know >>> but for ATI crossfire technology, the 2 cards' processing power do add up and give better fps and more eye candy frmo AA and others (allowing you to max most of the games' graphics settings)~ but the memory doesnt add up when you crossfire 2 cards~

    ie: 1gb and 1gb crossfire is not = 2gb memory~ :)

  • That's not hot, my PNY XLR8 9800 GT does 72C on idle and 90C on load :`(

    I WANT THIS CARD!

  • ATI FTW~ Affordable Pricing And Great Performance And Great Quality~ :D

    nVidia is OVERRATED~ just because of the numerous "MADE FOR NVIDIA" games... just because they have sponsors... its how they get their funding~ from stupid gamers that buy nvidia because the game says so~

  • @zomgbbqwth well can't say that when comparing the ati 5000 series vs the 400 series nvidia. ati series are just a bit more expensive overall. but they will come down soon, just before the release of the 6000 series.

  • that is hot as hell!!!

  • why they would give you some gddr5 if its would be unsable the gddr5 run with more of frequency than the gddr3 anyway if you look at the new sapphire ati 4870 1gb with the vapor heatsink search the model vapor-x ITS SICK its has liquid coolant and its produce vapor but this card is not very energy saver you see its need 2x a 75watt cable from the power supply and a minimum of 500watts

  • DDR5 is unstable still, why do you think nvidia doesn't use it yet.

    ati fails.

  • you're the one who has an unstable mind.

  • How original.. :\

  • all of a sudden...

    nvidia fanboy gets proven wrong again.

  • Where exactly did I get proven wrong? You're a fucking idiot.

  • DDR5 unstable?

    Sorry your favorite company is using old technology. (DDR3) You really don't have to cry about it though.

    When the HD 5's come out, they are going to blow the GTX's away and you're gonna have nothing to say. ATI does not fail, your ignorance does.

  • If my ignorance "fails", then I have no ignorance. Apparently, your grammar and sentence structure fails though. ^_^

  • You know exactly what I meant, and the fact that you pick out something as insignificant as that means you have no real argument.

    At least I don't use japanese cute smiley faces like a faggot. Grow a pair motherfucker.

  • I'm pretty sure a carot and underscore are NOT Japanese. You're a fucking idiot. Go learn something about computers, google is a good first step.

    You stupid cunt.

  • HAHA LOL you win XD

  • whats funny is the 4850x2 card fucks up the GTX 285 xD and the 4870x2 omfg and what about the 5870 in crossfire? Nvidia just went out of business!

  • @donkeyboy2k7 If Nvidia is a public company then AMD could buy shares of Nvidia and get there stuff.

  • @Alucardthedeadone lol, personally i like ATI a lot more at the min as some cards are really good and alot cheaper also but its down to personal choice for me ATI

  • @donkeyboy2k7 i HAVE A 4870

  • Does anyone has the link for a f*cked up parody on this video, please PM me :P

  • i have the same exact card! YAY!!

  • tbh Rodney DirectX 9 and 10 have no difference

  • WRONG!!

  • in the video call of juarez has no difference to me unless i have bad sight -_-

  • well you have to see them side by side

  • then you have bad sight. look at the floor. the difference is very clear.

  • no i don't have bad sight the floor is the same to me

  • pause at 4:27. then look at the bricks. then you can se a huge difference in the space between the bricks.

  • it doesn't make much of a difference in gaming does it? its not like you can trip up in between the ridges can you? -_- directx 10 is pure bull

  • no, it has much more details than dx9.

  • ok w/e but there's not much of a difference

  • that i can agree with.

  • cool VIDEO!!

  • is this for pci?

  • yes..all the latest gpu's are pci-e 2.0

  • PCI Express x16 2.0

  • Hello Mr Reynolds,

    I have a Question: Can you make a video about the ATI 4870 competing the Nvidea GTX 260.

    I currently have the 4870 but I'm planning to buy a second gaming Computer, so I was wondering wich one is better.

    Also a Crossfired 4870 agains an sli 260 would REALLY HELP!!!!!!

    Thank you for reading and I hope you will make a video about it!

    Jakentos

  • is there a visual difference on the monitor between dvi to hdmi dongle and native hdmi port

  • No.

  • i think there is a fault in the benchmarks, CoD 4 is not Dx10.

  • What about 475w ?

  • i dont think that will cut it, It might but i doubt it, give it a go and see what happens. What power supply have you got?

  • I'm buying a new pc, so i will have a regular 475 W power supply.

  • No you do not need an upgrade.. the 9800 GTX X2 is still a top of the line video card.. and you only run 1680x1050 anyway.. The GTX 280 is not much better then the HD 4870 1GB and it cost a whole lot more.. For people with older cards.. 8800 series.. You will notice a huge difference if you upgrade to the HD 4870 1GB.. The GTX280 is maby 5% faster but the HD 4870 will run AA much better then the GTX280.. so best bang for the buck at this time will be the HD 4870 1GB at only $150

  • Thanks a lot for your point of view..

    Is true, its not that old, but i want a better

    card from Nvidia (SLI configuration on mobo) I want and upgrade because i dont want to be left behind in technology and can sell my old card for some bucks till is not so old..

    Thank you for replying mate!

  • would a 750w psu be fine for the 1gb version?

  • Hell yeah, I have 550watt and it's perfect.

  • Somebody help me, one question please?

    I have an ASUS Dark Knight 9800GTX2

    1GB DDR3

    My question is: I can run all the new games in enthusiast. How behind i'm from the top of the chart video cards? Do i need to get another and use the SLI configuration?

    I have a 22" @ 1680X1050

    Do i need and upgrade??

    PS: I dont mean to sound idiotic, but the expertice of another people always help,

    besides i rather ask first and buy later.

    Thanks in advance.

  • i would get more ram(3-4gb), and either go sli or get a new video card, maybe the gtx 280?

  • Comment removed

  • Yeah upgrade the ram. 4 Gbs should be enough since i dont think any game uses more than 3gbs.

  • Thanks bro.. Will do!

    Peace.

  • should be fine for the moment. If you want to stay nVidia, wait until they release (this is off the top of my head) GTX300 series and all the prices will drop or if you want to go ATI (i wouldn't if your motherboard supports sli) go toward a 4800 series card because the 5000 series is coming out july so prices should drop by 50-100 bucks

  • Hey Frazel

    Thank you very much for that tip men...!

    I guess that you are correct.

  • also the 1 gb version

  • i have the toxic version of this card

  • how much dose it cost?

  • rodney seemed tired

  • i got the 1gb version

  • I went to the computer fair the other day...Saw a 4890..I never saw one b4, I was like "HOLY SHIT" That'd be SO powerful, and THEN I saw the 4870x2!! >:)

  • nice vid

  • is there a 4870 1024 mb?

  • yes there is

  • ati 4870 or ati 2900 pro crossfire???????????

  • I would buy one 4870 because then you can buy another one in crossfire later ;) :D And it has direct x 10.1

  • if you can afford 2 2900's buy a 4870x2, the HD 2900 was fucking loud.

  • there's also and 4830 card you know.. wich can easy be overclocked to 4850.. but i stick with nvidea.. love my gtx 280's :)

  • :p radeon is almost better :p The HD4890x2 will be the best a man ca get :p

  • Wow that screwdriver is awesome.

  • i agree, definatley the highlight of the video

  • yes the screwdriver is impressive

  • speak properly idiot

  • wat the frames per second for this card?

  • depends on the game and resolution you play it in. this card is powerful

  • is the 1 gb much faster and cooler?

  • its just more mem. For higher res screen

  • Yeah for example if u have a 22'' or 24'' LCD monitor go for the 1 GB for resolution (1650x1050) or higher .. but if you are working on a smaller monitor (17'' or 19'' ) the 512 MB is more than enough

  • i have a 32" am i kinda fucked would you recomend 1gb ???

  • Definitely u should get the 1 GB

  • this is a response to danny01250125, none of the ati cards except the 4870 are pci-E 2.0

  • he said it offers unreal gaming experience. ughh i want a realistic gaming experience. dang!

  • i didnt get it .what are the diffirences between 4870 and 4870 X2?and what does the x2 mean?sorry im a beginner,but i would be REALLY thankful if someone would reply:). ohh and if u are an expert or really good at computers please add me to friends. i want to buy a new computer and i need some people to help me choose the pieces,and people to help me. :)

  • hey! ok im gonna make this rly simple the 4870 x2 is like 2 4870s melted togheter same speccs and everything !

  • does that mean its 2x better and costs 2x more?:/

  • yep, on both accounts... but put 2 in crossfire...

    WIN!!!

  • Not really. The 4870 x2 cpsts about 1.75x more and it isn't exactly twice as good, but it is pretty close.

  • inside the 4870 X2, there are 2 GPU's. and yes 2 times better in everything.

  • 6:02

    1200x1024? :P

  • 3Dgameman is the best reviewer, GO 3DGM!!!

  • this dude should replace albert and bauer at tigerdirect thos 2 are complete jakasses and misleads you on what cards are good and bad and this dude should be their replacment for logan.

  • that'd be great but of course tiger direct isn't doing reviews its doing informercials and we all know those are meant to overhype products 3DGM actually does reviews on stuff he likes :/

  • im so happy!!! im getting this card on Monday :] only spent $210CAD(167USD)

  • This guy is my freakin hero :D

  • i'd say the gtx 260 core 216, though the hd 4870 is an awesome card also, but forget the 9800 gtx+

  • casey casum

  • this dude is much better than tht tribular fag or watevr his name is. although this guy does put up annoying misleading videos sumtimes...he got my vote lol

  • fuck all of you haters this guys does a hell of a lot better than any of you biggity bitches could do. good video gameman

  • I agree! he does a very good review! go 3dgamerman

  • Huh? Vista is extremely easy to use... :O

    I could use it fluently without 2 days. What's the big deal?

  • I have this card, runs everything on max for me smoothly. Paired with an E8400 its amazing. Check out how it performs in my videos.

  • waste of time

  • actually ive got a video up to prove i have the gtx 295, and this is the faster than the 4870x2 in nearly every benchamnrk, which just proves your a dumb cunt who has no idea what hes on about, i no more about computers than u do u dont try it

  • man ur a loser seriously

  • go suck dick

  • Do you say the exact same thing in all of your videos then just change a few words?

  • LOL

    yeah i'm sure you have alot of first hand experience. Judging from what you say it seems like you're a real genius.

    what do you do for a living ? I actually build custom gaiming pcs and develop software. So i think that i have more experience than you do dumbshit.

  • Custom Gaming PC's and software ? got more experience? never seen a superjiucebox2 review anywhere. No offense but "Get a life and respect someone's effort to enlighten ur pee brain"

  • hahahaha look at this geek superpussyjuice2 flex his muscles lol

  • i have that card

  • ive got a gtx 295 thats better than the 4870x2, 8gb ram is unnecessary when youve got 4gb ddr3 ram, and vista is a good OS not that a dickhead like u would ever no, now go get a proper computer u cunt

  • lmao

    your comment proves who the dumb shit is.

    Your ignorance and ability to be manipulated by the media is pretty funny though, and its even funnier how you get all serious about something so stupid. Grow up "dumb shit" .

  • norcofoxx is right, your computer cannot handle vista because u r a poor fuk, ive got a fuking cpu at 3.7 ghz and a gtx 295 and vista flys with no problem ,it is very responsive, more visually appealing and more secure than xp was,after sp1 vista was great, you just cant afford to buy it so you knock it, i bet you u r saying this stuff after hearing what other people have said, you havent seen any of this for your self have u?

  • Hey anton if you wasn't such a poor fuck then you'd be able to afford a good system to run vista on, if you can actually afford it then vista flys and with more service packs coming out the bugs and fixes are going just like xp was going through, not every fucking OS comes out perfect when it's released dick mouth. It's runs better now and protects your system better than XP ever did. Oh and they continue to realease it due to people like you, who never gave vista a chance.

  • Well maybe you mist this but Microsoft is gonna release their new OS (Windows 7) and its just windows Vista but with less bugs and shit... So if Microsoft decides to lauch this OS just for fixing a lot shit in Vista then they will agree with me that Vista wasn't a good OS that everybody loves... But I hope windows 7 will be better and than I will upgrade... I have still XP just because I didn't want Vista, so I skip the crap and upgrade to Windows 7...

  • so basically we bought a buggy OS, and now they expect us to upgrade to another one because of thier mistakes and we have to dish out like 150 bucks to get that OS

  • windows 7 also has good performance :D i'm a developer testing the beta and its quite nice.

  • lol anton all of those can be blamed on the ignorance of people just thinking vista is bad when it isnt. The only downfall of vista is how much more processor power it needs to run but if you have a good pc it doesn't matter. Vista is more secure than xp in every way and its better in almost every aspect EXCEPT performance, which you won't notice if you have a decent pc.

  • This pronounces some words weird, I'm sorry but it's annoying.

  • XP sucked without service packs. VISTA has them now, GET OVER IT. ALL THE BUGS ARE FIXED, IT'S QUICER. AND IT'S when you say 10 DICKHEADS, you mean 10 million dickheads who know what a good OS is and 60 Million DICKHEADS who have shit computer systems which blame Microsoft and Vista for not making a good OS WHEN IT'S YOUR FAULT, YOUR COMPUTER SUCKS. GET OVER IT.

  • All of you shut up and wait for Windows 7

  • Like you, your PC SUCKS HARD.

  • Oh there you go again ranting on about how bad an OS is when you use a SHIT OLD ONE anyway, whoever uses XP is a prick. You know why? Because new hardware like this RUNS BETTER on Vista, and on Windows 7 which is also great. XP Belongs in pre historic times, that thing shares the same layout as Windows 95. Fail.

  • Actually a lot more people are using Vista and liking it, since your PC is a pile of shit you BLAME Vista for slowness.

  • at 3dgameman all reviews are very repetitive...he's so boring

  • Correction Vista is more secure than XP, has DX10 and new OpenGL, more support for new hardware. This car for example would run better on Vista than XP because it's designed for it.

  • Hey cool review thanks for the post! any need research info is much appreciated. I was wondering if anyone was willing to input their two cents about my planned set up. I am doing a core i7 920 build and planning on an hd 4870 for the vc. I will be using a 22 inch monitor with a native of 1680x1050 and i'm wondering if that would be enough to handle anything I could throw at it. Thanks again! late

  • is this better than a xfx 9800gtx + xxx

  • yes it is better

  • Meh, I wouldnt say its laggy, or slow, its a new OS , its gonna need a system that can handle it, and if your system isnt up to par then you have no business in purchasing it, I personally have had no problems with it being slow, even on my old 4200+x2 rig, it could be better yeah, but i wouldnt go as far as saying it sucks and is the worse OS out there like many people claim it to be, Windows 7 will hopefully be better, but to each his own

  • Ive never had a problem with it, been using it for a longtime. What do you see thats wrong with it?

  • ATX12V V2.2

    is this the AMP on the rails?
