Now I know why I don't trust newegg reviews

Customer Reviews Of ASUS EAH5870/2DIS/1GD5/V2 Radeon HD 5870 (Cypress XT) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card

The 3rd review titled as "Revised Review" made me laugh so hard I fell off my chair.

In fact this guy is just a dumb that probably don't even have the card. Why would I need to change the bios since the Voltagr tweak come with the card and MSI afterburner work to OC and overcolt it.lol...But well, it's not new not to trust these review...so many people don't have the product and just bitch on it. Also you notice that everyone have High tech lvl and they always have idiot cons that are just 18 code...like this one...

Copy and paste for the lazies

Pros: -good looks

Thats the only good thing about this card

Cons: - Locked BIOS (so forget about actually being able to overclock this thing)

- Requires Smartdoctor to overclock (unpolished, poorly programmed application, annoying to deal with, causes pop ups at startup if you dont install their entire software suite)

- ATi drivers are still terrible.

Other Thoughts: If I could give it 0 stars I would. Spend your money elsewhere. The lengths to which they went to make this card completely useless has put ASUS on my "ship" list

Lol. "Tech Level: high"

 

[_dangtx_]

the scary part is that hes probably the computer nerd where hes at.....

loo...if hes high level, what about the other souls? good god lol

Well, there's trolls everywhere, but I wouldn't throw out user-reviews because of a couple of obvious uninformed ones. You always have to take them with a grain of salt, and I like to use the competition grading style of throwing out the best and the worst, but if there are enough user reviews you can normally get a good idea of any systemic issues that might plague the hardware.

ya it's not new news that you have to pick and choose your reviews form the egg

This can easily be fixed by ONLY allowing a member who PURCHASED the product to review it. Hopefully a given product has many reviews and you can have a global idea rather than a fake review.

Hate to tell you guys but I do agree with him. Smart Doctor is shit.
