Summary: I got a refurbrished model under $200. Upgraded from SAPPHIRE Radeon 5830 to 7870. I get a 7.9 score in Windows 7 performance index, the old card was 7.2...
Summary: Fast, fluid graphics. I'm not a gamer, but it's more than enough for me. The fans are a little noise, very noticeable in a quit room, but not irritating.
