Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 5870 Vapor-X 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card

Very pleased with my purchase. The card performs as it looks - very cool.
Running in a CM 840 case it is 8 degres cooler than its XFX sibling in the adjacent slot on an Asus PT6 deluxe motherboard - it is not in a better position; it just manages its temperature better.
Price are now more sensible for this great piece of kit. If you can afford it, pay the premium over the reference card - you'll be glad you did every day.

Just ordered one of these, i have been searching EVERY website on the net for one, even possability of getting it shipped from overseas. Im a bit confused as why the price went from £408.99 to £329.99 when they came back in stock but VERY GRATEFUL. I had ordered this from another website and when it came in stock cancelled my order and came back to Overclockers, to be honest i should have never considered buying elsewhere in the first place. In summary: TOP card, VERY large (10.75"inches), DESTROYS my old 8800gtx. Overclockers as always FANTASTIC SERVICE (dont hate me for almost buying elsewhere).

Bought one of these to replace my 8800GTX SLI setup. Always been a Nvidia fan and this is my first ATI card. I am very pleased with my new purchase.

Runs crysis on 8 x AA with all settings up to VH - no problems and Im only using a Q6600 clocked up to 2.9GHZ!

Even Flight Sim X runs smoothly on almost max settings.

All I need now is a AMD Phenom to compliment the card!

Great service as usual from Overclockers, ordered Mon delivered Tues! Thank you very much.

Got one of these to replace my 4890 that was noisly under load. Idle temperature of this card is about 25c degrees cooler and I haven't heard the fan yet.

Only tried Dragon Age at the moment but at 1920x1200 with everything on high/very high and AA at 8x it hasn't missed a beat yet.
