some people said tht 4870x2 can hold this tempt and it doesnt matter wif tempt...

from observation i read, most ppl say ati card's IQ(image quality) is better than nvidia's
new ati cards are dx10.1, nvidia only dx10...

frm wht i read (amd forum)..lots of problem are from sapphire product rather than other brands..
so much people complaining their card...some just shift to nvidia bcoz of unsolved prob..what u guys think abt this?..
overheating prob is not a big think bcoz nvidia also facing the same prob
*
i used sapphire 3870x2
now sapphire 4870x2 no problem also

another Sapphire 4870x2  user report in
i have a question
the 4870x2 should be 2G
but i look over the everest and display setting there
system video memory only show 1G

IT IS NORMAL FOR CROSSFIRE SETUP SAME AS 3870x2, IT HAS 1GB BUT SHOWS 512MB
using vista 64 bit
any sapphire 4870x2 user can let me know that it is normal or..?
NORMAL
and everytime i open pc then will hang on the loading screen
need to restart only can load normally
WHAT IS YOUR MOBO..WHAT IS YOUR PSU
i cann't go to the bios setup page also everytime i press del
try to go to the bios page then will hang too
last Q,will the 4870x2 sound very loud sometime?
my gc will scream when i power up my pc or sometime playing game loading game.
NORMAL LA,IT SHOWS YOUR FAN IS WORKING OR U RATHER DONT HEAR UR FAN SPINNING?

any sapphire 4870x2 user can share about gaming?
cause my gc performance just same like the 4850 i used last time
HOW U SAY SAME..COMPARE THE FPS LA AND TURN ON AA WHERE GOT SAME
*
seriously man,,alot of ppl just buy stuff without reading reviews or other ppl's comments..GG

That's gonna be out of my budget. Maybe i could cut down by change casing + hd3870x2. But that's outdated.
*
3870x2 and 4870x2 same length iinm,if dun wanna change casing just get 4870 and crossfire it in the future

well, i'm using silverstone st75zf for now. Maybe it would be better if i just wait and see if there's possible price slash later.
*
i think wont be soon, price slash usually happens when there's a better competitor...4870x2 just came out last month
need to wait for their next model or nvidia's
