If I won this card it would give me one hell of an SLI.
I ordered that card to replace my 4870 and it's an excellent upgrade. The 4870 is a good card but I didn't know what I was missing with DX11. I knew I was going to overclock it anyways so I got the MSI card not for the factory OC but for the cooler and beefed up components. I OC'd it to 1Ghz with Afterburner (which is a pretty sweet program I must say) and the card idles at 27 and runs games at 52. I live in south Florida and these low temps are unheard of for me. I used to idle with my 4870 at around 48 and gaming would push it into the 80s at times and that was with an aftermarket cooler. I'm really happy with the upgrade to say the least.
HardOCP is one of my daily reads along with PCPer and TweakTown. Your site rocks and I love your reviews. Keep it up dude.
