club 3d has better stock cooling dude, but, xfx has the better warranty, i would recommend xfx personally, i have just bought a 4890 and the stock cooling on that keeps it around 60 degrees under full load, not to mention that xfx offer full warranty to the person you sell the card onto, meaning that they retain more value, also have you considered a 4890? not alot of price difference and a big performance boost, i just bought mine and have it overclocked to 900mhz core and 1150mhz memory, it really is a great card

Which 4870 is best to buy not only xfx or club3d ?

 

[obsidian86]

the 4870 toxic(atomic's overclock with vapor x cooling) is the best then the atomic (runs very hot high overclock) then the vapor x 4870(best cooling)

Personally, I would get the XFX one as well. Asus quality has gone downhill as of late. And I've never dealt with Club3D. But all ATI card makers only have a 1-2 year warranty, except XFX and VisionTek.

My preference would be whichever has the quickest and easiest RMA process, which happens to be EVGA, but thats an Nvidia Company.

XFX all the way........

hands down the most reliable ATI card you can buy.........

I would buy XFX too, but i could get one maybe only at winter cuz they are soldout btw ASUS give 3 years quarantee and XFX 2 years so maybe it is good cards. As i remember ASUS always had good quaetly. But witch cards have better cooling, Asus Dark Knight or this one http://www.sweclockers.com/imagebank/200808/Asus_4870_1stor001.jpg ?
Maybe someone could tell me tempretures of thees 2 cards idle and loaded ?
Sorry for my English

How come xfx gives you a 2 year warranty? They tend to give life time warranties on all their cards.

Lifetime warranty... if you live outside the US or Canada then you have 1 or 2 year warranty depending on the region....
