    Fond memories of my HD 4870. First GPU I ever bought, had to upgrade my crummy HP prebuild powersupply to make it work.

      That’s a great first GPU story! The 4870 definitely needed a real PSU — those prebuilt power supplies just couldn’t handle it.

        I wish I still had the GPU, recently fished that PSU (PC Power & Cooling Silencer Quad 750) from a closet; wonder if it works…
