I don't think it works on the 4000 series card, and you have to use a tweak to get it working on the 5000 series cards as discussed here - New Catalyst Hotfix Coming Soon (Updated MLAA) - Rage3D Discussion Area
I'm not losing sleep over it anyway so it doesn't matter to me. I'll worry about it when I move to a 6000 card :)
BTW I have 10.10 hotfix drivers installed.
What i like about the 6870 is that it has the lowest power consumption of all the 6000 and 5000 series's and with a few case fans it runs at 63-70c at full load,and its allot faster than the 5850 and very close to the 5870 on normal games,but it really shines on games with high requirements(don't know about that personally cause i don't have my mother board yet)but that is what the reviews say.
well im hoping by the end of this month i will be using one seems like i have obsticles in my way right now hahaha but who doesn't just seems when you plan things other things come from left field
knowing me though i will have it just in the < great nick > of time lol before xmas
I sure they'll be everywhere by then
next year im hoping i will be able to build this new rig im eyeing and use this one im on for the upstairs 42 inch vizio
Haha nice,i am running it on the 24inch samsung but when i get my mb back i am gonna put it on a 56inch LED tv and play Arcania and crysis for a while,just to see how it looks.Good luck on buying your card,hope it performs as well as i hope mine will
This thread (and the new rig thread) makes me want to grab some new parts and build another rig....

If money was NOT an option i would upgrade every day just to have that feeling of running a new rig the first time!!!!!
The building is fun but the best part is the first time you switch it on and run a benchmark that blows your old score to bits!!
Finnaly got a new board,and ran the card on 3dmark06,my previous card gtx285 scored 19578 on basic default setting and on full hd all at the max it scored 11236.But the ati scored 20093 on the default setting.(not much of an improvement) BUT on the highest settings with everything at its best it scored 17588!!!!(allot better than 11236) So as stated in the cards review it stands out under high pressure.
