Yes. I got myself a SAPPHIRE HD 4870 512MB GDDR5 PCI-E. It is silent efficiency edition. The heat sink is different than the reference design heat sink. And it looks cooler too. I am looking forward to see its performance in action. Can’t wait to play games with it.

Nvidia and ATI AMD produce good quality 3D graphics processing unit (GPU). Which display card should I choose? I plan to have a 22″ LCD monitor. I need a display card that can power 1680 x 1050 px at playable games speed. Both Nvidia and AMD have multi GPU functionality which is SLI for Nvidia and CF for AMD. However, you can’t find much SLI motherboard in the market because only Nvidia chipset and certain Intel chipset like x38 and x48 support SLI. Therefore, CF is my only choice for the moment.
