XFX HD-687A-ZHFC Pro Reviews

In conclusion this card really is meant for those that are running higher resolutions or multiple monitor configurations. For the average user the additional video memory really isn’t going to make much of a difference. In my opinion this card just doesn’t quite live up to its price tag for the average user. This card does run Battlefield 3 at nearly maximum settings, very smoothly. Most of the HD 6870s are just under 200 dollars. Actually there are even some that come overclocked that are still under 200 dollars. If this card came with a decent factory overclock it would definitely live up to its price tag. This is something that XFX might want to consider. I’m not saying that you wouldn’t be able to overclock this card yourself; it would just be nice if XFX did it for you so you don’t have to risk voiding your warranty. This card will definitely appeal to a certain niche of buyers and these are the ones that will really enjoy this card. The question you have to ask yourself is whether or not you fall into that niche. With all of the options that are currently available on the market it would be in your best interest to take a good look at what’s available first and then compare them to your needs. Your budget will also come into account when looking at a product like this. Just be sure that your system meets the necessary requirements to run the card that you’re considering to purchase.
