I am going to be selling my 2- 4870x2's locally what is a fair price to ask for 2 cards that have been in a good home for 8 1/2 months? I was thinking $350 canadian each.. is that too low or too high? input on this would be greatly appreciated.

I'd say:

~$280 USD ($325 CAD) shipped each

What warranty do they have?

I know the sapphire cards go for about $430 CAD new but that would be with full 2year warranty.

[Russtynailz]

They are HIS Cards. I think they only have 1 year warranty

Any reason why I can't switch the primary monitor with my 4870x2? It can only use the second monitor as extended. It doesn't work in either Ultramon, CCC, or Windows Display Settings :\

I didn't experience such problems when I ran a 713N and my 2343BWX in dual monitor configuration. I used CCC and it worked fine in extended mode.

Sapphire Radeon HD4870 X2 Review (neoseeker.com July 20, 2009)

A little late in the game but a review is always good reading.

I finally got my two cards working in CrossfireX, one is HIS and one is a Sapphire.

I can play most of my games just fine, but at one point in the RE5 benchmark, and at the very start of Crysis, my PC just restarts. I think I'm safe in assuming I need a better PSU? I already have one ordered and on the way.

I GET OVER 400 FPS IN CS:S BENCHMARK LULZ xD That's with all settings maxed and at 2560x1600.

hi.

been a user (of 4870x2) for sometime now, I usually just check the gpu core temps, which are pretty high with the stock cooler (unless u crank up the fan above 60%).

Bought a accelero xtreme cooler, installed it without any hassles. Core temps are wunderbar and the thing is silent. I glanced at my VRM temps, and it doesnt look pretty. Running a vantage run gives me temps around 100'C, playing crysis for about 15min gives about the same temps (propably would go higher over time).

I forgot to take down the temperatures on the VRMs with the stock cooler on, so could someone give me some reference numbers to compare against.

And anyone know what these VRMs can handle.
