max everything. ( depand on your CPU+MOBO+RAM+PSU ) GTX285, HD4870 can both do a VERY nice job at this rez. Something good can be CF-SLI (GTX260 or HD4870) with games that work well with it for not that much money ! oh i see, well now it makes more sense...

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2. I need a good card for gaming but am not real sure what will work in my Mac. Was thinking of the ATI HD4870 but it seems to have a lot of components and I admittedly am not computer literate. Any suggestions?. I have a Mac...

a gigabyte HD4870 in my machine (abit of an upgrade from my 9500gt) The deal that my factory o/c 9500gt ran crysis on high settings, was a little jumpy, but pretty good. I was looking for a massive improvement with the HD4870, and i seems to play smoother...

a MID range card. It was NOT meant to overperform a HD4870 TO START WITH, since it is not aimed at the highend market. But funny thing is, at native driver, it still outperform a HD4870 in many games :) Bottom line? Quit hating. [EDIT] Forgot to mention...

topic, I think I'm getting a Ati HD4870. Seems a good choice. If you want a good stable motherboard thats great for gaming and doesnt cost a ton (comes with 2 PCi 16x) THe Asus P5n-D will be the right buy for you, Ive been using it with 4 gb or ddr2 800 mhz...

i wouldn't say that, 512 at 1920x1080 should be fine, im running at 16x12 with 2x AA and 8x AF with 256MB. 1Gb HD4870, The 4850 lacks the punch to exploit the extra memory at high resolutions. My 512MB HD4870 seems fine with everything at the moment, but I...

Radeon 4870 will give you the best bang for your buck, hands down! You might even find a 4890 for the same price if you shop around... These are head and shoulders above anything Nvidia has to offer at this price point. Cheers, Yeah, an HD4870 seems about...

HD4870 Can't run games seemingly. Ok I have a Sapphire HD 4870 with 1GB of memory, a Core 2 Duo E8500 @ 3.16ghz and 2gb of ram. All my games are running terribly slow, for instance I've turned all the settings down on world of warcraft to the lowest they can...
