I am planning on buying this Powercolor 1 GB ATI Radeon 4870 but i have realised that there are rarely any reviews for it and only for the PCS+ edition. Is there a problem with this card or is the PCS+ version much more popular? pls help!

I had nothing but problems with 3 successive HD4870 PCS+ 1gb cards. Others seem to like it. I think the problem may be with the VRM non reference design and cooling. If you get an ATI card and have been using or have used a Nvidia card on your system, you may do well to do a fresh install of Windows/Vista prior to installing the new ATI card.

@ anzacfalcon: Perhaps an alternative might be better? Powercolor do n`t have a very good reputation for service and a short warranty.
