Got this card as an upgrade from a X1950 pro 512mb and the performance difference is well noticable.
The only gripe i have is that the card i received is a single slot version and not the the dual one that is pictured in the ad. Not a bad thing really though it could be annoying to some people.
All in all a great card and at a fair price; delivered very quickly so, Well done Play.com
Excellent Gaming

Switch on PC and your new card does a POST test like a taxing jumbo jet, then...... quiet. The card frequently heats up to over 85 degrees and although overclockable cooling is definatly an issue to avoid instability. Gaming is much better than expected with a card in this price range, I ran DX10 games such as Lost Planet quite well although not in the league of the more expensive Geforce 8800 cards.
Overall the 3870 is a quiet, overclockable, fast and cheap card that plays DX10 and HD well. Great value for money!
THIS CARD ROCKS!!!!!!!
