may want to replace the thermal paste and make sure the heat sinks are seated tightly, if they're not the fan set up could be acting more as a METAL HEAT PRISON

Don't XFX have a lifetime guarantee?

^ had to register your card within 30 days of buying it. Pff.

i'm not sure if i'ts been fixed but nvidias drivers have had problems with cuasing Graphics cards to over heat, basicly the temp stuff is broken, not sure if they fixed it or not.

Its been fixed. When was the last time you updated your drivers?

Hey I'll take your 8600 if you don't want it anymore
I'll pay for you to ship it to me.

updated? HAH i had to downdate becuase the ones they recomened to use made ALL of my 3D apps slow down, when i whent back it was all working as it should.

You could replace that card for the price of 1 xbox game.

Some of us like to mend things. Mend and make do. That was the way during the war, now look at us. This current generation, just throwing things away. Let me tell you boy, come another war like that you'll be as disposable to your government as those plastic razors and graphics cards are to you.

I agree with big ass skelly... shame not even a quarter of American's see the effects of their wasteful lifestyles.

But as stated before... I'll take it :3

i have the 5770 and it rocks

Clearly the 5770 it's the only DX11 card.

Just because a card supports DX11 does not mean it enables you to play games in DX11. The first generation cards usually won't have enough power to actually take full advantage of DX11.

i'm pretty sure a card that supports dx 11 will let you play more dx 11 games than a card that doesn't support dx11

Maybe when I get done my build I might get myself a batter card like 5870.... not because it has DirectX 11 support but for the 2 GB of mem. but for now I will stick with my XFX HD-489X-ZSFC Radeon HD 4890. till I get done my build then I will upgrade the rest.

And on a Sad note the only leg up I can see the 4890 over the 5770 is the mem interface.  4770 has 256bit and 5770 has 128bit Also on a side note for the 5770 it doesn't show how effective Memory Clock is or it's Core Clock so I'm in the dark with those Specs.  But I think I made the right chooses with the budget I had and the 4890 seems better over the 5770 other then it's a power hog. Till I upgrade the thing it cost me about  around 1500$ including the OS I still need to get to make this build Also need to find my old computer up in the attic to rip out the CD drive for a bit till I get a Blu-ray RW (witch is not included to my subtotal but this is on the last of my list.) and my A drive.(and the A drive is there to stay since there really isn't much use for one but sometimes it dose come in handy besides it can't hurt)  Also i got a 1250W PSU I know it's over kill but I plan to get a few hard drives get a raid going since I know I can fill a TB easily since I have the habit of not deleting anything... I'm like a pack rat.

Edit: And no I don't got money I'm just slowly investing in to it after the build so nothing instantaneous since I  have no Tax money left I've been footing the rest to get it done. sadly.

i think you are kind of dumb
