Asus EAH 4870 TOP Videocard Review

Today we are taking a look at one of the top of the line cards at this time. The card costs a bit more than the others on the market so the main question is does the card really perform so well that it's worth putting the money into it. We are going to compare it vs a few other Asus cards that have proven to perform quite well and we will also see if we can tweak a bit more out of the card even though it's factory tweaked already.

When we look at the package we can see that the colors this time are orange and black. On the bottom you can see the name of the card along with a chart showing how much faster the card is supposed to be vs a normal 4870 card.

On the back you can read all the specifications and features that this card holds in a few different languages.

Inside the box you will find alot of various cables and adapters, for example you get S-video to RGB adapter, molex to PCI-E power adapter, crossfire bridge, HDMI to DVI adapter, VGA to DVI adapter and a S-video adapter. You also get a driver cd, a small mousepad and a manual which you probably won't end up needing.

The card itself is very big so make sure you have a couple of open slots as this will cover up two because of the big cooler installed on it. It does cover two slots but this cooler is fairly quiet even when the card runs at higher speeds, I prefer this before a whining 40 mm fan that takes up just the PCI-E slot.

Your PSU has to have at least one PCI-E power cable, you get one adapter but since this takes up two power cables you will need either a adapter from before or a power cable straight from the PSU.
