serious performance
no lag whatsoever

heat problems
drivers
too big and heavy
expensive

serious graphics card for those insane gamers
it will future proof your pc for the next 5 years of gaming but it isnt worth it
my cousin recently bought one and yes max fps in all games wiht maxed out graphics such as crysis in which he plays on enthusiast and gets like 50-60 fps
jealous?
well the price to pay is just over 700 bucks
when i first tried the card i was amazed by its performance but things get outdated VERY quickly these days.. the 4870x2 came out about 5 months ago and yet
6 months later Nvidia GTX295 would slit the 4870x2's neck and crap all over it. thats how fast things really fly in the technology world. If you want even more performace chuck another one of these beast into your pc to get an extreme 4gb crossfire setup which garuntees to last 7years but by then i would of bought a much better card..maybe a GTX1million.. XD jks aside but if your willing to pay the money for this titanic of graphics cards its worth cash
