Replaced a 4870 video card with this 5870 XFX card in Windows 7 64 bit with a 1980x1200 digital display.
Pro: Replacement was real simple - just uninstall the 4870 (hardware and software) and then install the 5870.
Compared to the 4870, the 5870 is dramatically faster both in games and when just running on the desktop with other programs. The new card is also considerable quieter than the 4870 - probably not quiet enough for a home theater but certainly for a desktop system. Color and general video quality are excellent.
Con: It is not the cheapest video card on the market, but, compared to video card prices 4-5 years ago it is reasonable if you need this level of performance.
