 I did an installation guide like this a little while back, but I thought I'd do one for the Radeon 6870 since in my opinion it's going to be a very popular card. So the first thing you're going to want to do is make sure that you have enough space in your case, and that means in terms of length. So if you have hard drive cages that are positioned just to the right of your motherboard or if you have any other obstacles that might be there, the 6870 is about the length of a motherboard, so it should be, in fact it is exactly the length of a motherboard, standard ATX motherboard. So it should be fairly easy, oh okay not quite exactly, I'm sorry, it's just like almost exactly there, you can see how close it is. So it should be fairly easy to eyeball based on that, whether there is enough room in your case. Another thing to bear in mind is this is a dual slot card, and you're going to want the next one over free, or at least, okay. So let's say here theoretically you've got your card installed here in the top slot, okay, and then there's one in the next one, but it's like a short one like that killer neck right there, as long as that fan has breathing room you should be in pretty good shape, so the fan down there. Alright so that's another thing to bear in mind, you do need two slots, so you've got two mounting screw points right there. Other things you will need, you will need two PCI Express 6 pin power connectors. So in my case, that is check and check, these are both 6 plus 2 pins, so they can be plugged into either a 6 pin or an 8 pin slot on a graphics card. So from there, you take off the screws, which I have already done, oh no no no, okay take off your side panel, which I have already done, you take off your screws, which I have apparently already done, you position the card, after grounding yourself, which means touching the power supply while it's plugged into the wall. There's a cat. Okay so you position it above the slot, making sure that you, here's a common mistake, make sure this metal part right here isn't pressing into the motherboard when you go to push it in, you see there's a little tiny gap back there, make sure it's in the gap, make sure it's not pushing into the board, I've done that, it's usually bad results. There so you position it above the slot and then push firmly, I'm going to use my camera hand in addition to my other hand, push firmly on the entire card until it sits into the slot, okay so you'll be able to see now it's, there's a little bit of wiggle room but it's pretty much in there. So you should use two screws to secure this particular card, one goes here, I'm using thumb screws, lots of different cases, have lots of different mounting mechanisms. What I tend to do is I give the card a bit of a lift as I'm screwing it in, so what that does is it makes sure that I don't have any undue weight or strain being left on the socket. Okay and then the screw threading is broken on my case so I just push the screw in, that's all I can really do. There, that's as in as it goes. Alright then we connect the power connectors, which is pretty straightforward, hide those extra two pins and that's it, that's my 6870 installation guide. You have now installed a Radeon 6870, enjoy your DirectX 10 gaming performance featuring the MSI 6870. They even got like an afterburner ad on their card, it's a good piece of software but yeah.
