[...] you need two 6 pin connectors and about 600w psu or better, its about 9 and 1/2" long so have the room. fan is very loud over 50%(I have 5 fans running and this sounds like a jet engine when it gets over 50%) so use ccc to adjust fan. overclock is limited by ccc and it will bottle neck any computer under dual core 3.0ghrtz.runs cool with fan at 45% 7/24 3dmark with my amd 5200 oc'd 15000, with card at stock on a 24" monitor. plays trackmania in hd at 120fps and crysis not in hd but close to hd at 45fps at high. big card takes up 2 slots and exhaust all hot air out of you computer.card is very impressive looking and heavy.beats a 280gtx in bench marks at toms [...] and a 9800gtx also go see for yourself.if you really want to game buy a 4870x2 two gpu's on on card.

played Crysis at very high..

looks amazing. no lag, no missed frames.. perfect..


also i work with 3ds max 2009.. amazing.. it can handle over 6 million (get error on 13 millions) poligons with no problems.. work best if shaded, wireframe can slow the performance.

Excelente VC, para cualquiera de los juegos actuales rinde muy bien dandele bastante FPS, aunque se caliente demasiado y a veces se congela en algunos juegos quizas por driver.

This is a great card. It runs all the latest games (Nov'08) with no problems.
