From Red To Green

This little beauty showed up on my door this aftenoon, and I am pleased to say the install went fine and everything is working great. I previously had an Ati 4870 512Mb, and I can see quite a difference in a few games, which is very nice indeed

Looks mint, it's a massive upgrade form a 4870. Love the aluminum shroud, pure quality.

its been a long time coming and I am well happy with the results, against the cost of the card. Was cheaper then my last one as well

That's going be a decent sized performance jump, hope you enjoy it

).

@OP Grats on your new card. Mine just arrived this afternoon, will try installing tonight Did you do anything fancy to remove the ATI drivers or just the standard uninstall from Control panel?

Now Overclock it to 850mhz and see a massive improvement

Cheers.

I uninstalled from the CP, then I used Driver Sweeper, to check for any remaining files.

I like the blue PCB, it's a nice change from the norm.

lol, that advice comes a little late for the OP

Yep, another vote for the blue pcb. Seen all sorts of colours before, usually nice to see something different from green or red.

I have to say, I can't stand green or red PCBs. They always seem to look cheap and tacky.
