Rating: - A Powerful GPU with Outstanding Image Quality at a Reasonable Price
The Visiontek HD 4870 PCI express GPU (graphics processing unit) is an excellent comeback card for ATI (ATI makes the GPU, Visiontek builds the rest of the video card around the ATI GPU).

I rate Visiontek's HD 4870 a full FIVE STARS based on the following:
