Hi all, ordered a HD4870 from ebay about a week ago for 30 pounds which includes delivery. It has only been dispatched today so i have not received it yet. From what i've seen it is old but is a decent card so i thought it seemed like an okay deal.

Exact pic of it is link above.

If you have experienced this card can you tell me what its like for GTA:IV / related resource heavy games? Thanks. I am aware this card runs hot however my antec case has a number of fans so it shouldn't be too bad.

Specs of computer will be amd 965 with 8gb ram.

My monitor is 1440x900 at the moment but i don't think ill be upgrading any time soon still its nice to know. Actually i do have a hdtv that is 1920x1080 (no hdmi out on the card so not sure how that will affect output res) Thanks for replying.
