    Reviewed by DC from JHB on 21/05/2012   
    Expertise: High
    Strengths: Has 6 possible display ports if you get the configurations correct
    Weaknesses: Bought upgraded power supply, as power4 is suggested to be above 500W. Screens flicker when it feels it wants to. Sometimes on 1 screen and maybe on others, again when it wants to. Have to reboot to fix flicker. On reboot screens resolution are not stored, have to, more often than not, reset screens. Hangs and sometimes I get a blue screen which then reboots on its own.
    Best uses: I wouldnt suggest any good uses except throw it in the bin or return immediatley.

    Asus ATI Radeon HD5870 Graphics Card
    Bought this card in Jan 2012. Had to buy an upgrade power supply and extra display cables as they were not all the same in the box for 4 screens. Once installed spent so much time trying to get the configurations set correctly. Ended up wasting my money on extra cables that didnt work even though I spent more time searching the internet for the correct cables. After at least a week - finally got it running.

    Eversince installing have had continual problems related to all of the abave and below issues
