I'm buying an HD 4870 before midnight tonight. I haven't quite decided which brand to go with...
The ASUS comes with a game--Stalker--for free and after a MIR is the same price as the Sapphire... so perks-wise, the Asus is the clear choice. However, I'm not sure which card runs the coolest and most quiet (cooler temp being more important to me). The Asus also has a higher % negative newegg reviews than the Sapphire--but several of them do not really apply to me ("won't play/do blah-de-blah" that I don't care about).
I'm putting it on an ASUS P6T mobo... don't know if same brand will help with performance or not...?
I'm leaning heavily toward the ASUS HD 4870... opinions?
Please don't reply if you're going to tell me to get Nvidia, lol!
Thanks!
