4870's no longer the top-tier card. It can be run hard by Crysis at high-resolutions with the AA/AF turned up for sure, and other games will tax it. That's why I skipped over the 4870 and went for the 4890 1GB during a NCIX surprise special.
I have the XFX 4890OC, and let me tell you that when that sucker spools up, it gets LOUD, hehe. I'm ok with it because I use headphones most of the time, but I might move to an aftermarket cooling solution that has quieter fans.
When doing Assassin's Creed, Fallout 3, etc, the card can sometimes get quite hot (~65c-75c) especially if the game isn't optimized very well (HL2 mods) but that's pretty normal operating temps considering how ungood my case ventilation is.
