Cons: 6950 on sale might be a better bet for the future and if you want one of the best cards at the moment
Pros: runs cool and fastnot too hard on the wallet Comment:
Got this on sale for $150, runs pretty smoothly most games on 1920X1080, tempted to try out 2 of these in Crossfire when it goes on sale again. Had some problems with drivers. |

Pros: Can run NFS at max, and doesnt even get hot Comment:
This card is amazing. I got it on sale for 169$A freakin steal. Ill be buying another one for crossfire. I dont need it, but better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.This card blows through all my NFS games, max settings. NFS shift is notorius for being hard on video cards and creating steering lag. This card plays it without a problem. the card alsocomes with Dirt3 for free, so im waiting to play that! its a download from STEAM, so it takes a while when your in the Sticks like me.I chose this over nvidea because 2 6850's in Xfire draw less power than a single 470, and have much higher performance. If i wasnt a student i woulda bought a 6870, but im extremely pleased with this card. |

Pros: Rock Stable OC'erFastSilent Comment:
I have been using this card for 4 months in my current build, I loved every second of it as it played everything on max. I got a 2nd one today for playing maxed out games at 5760x1080 fully maxed out and I have to say, I am feeling no buyers remorse whatsoever. Get this card either by itself or in crossfire, you wont be disappointed. |

Cons:
High fan noise around the 60% marginVGA Cooler is quite large to support heatsink.
Pros: Copper tubing on GPU heatsink for great cooling.Amazing speed with one card.Able to take on higher end games at 45-65FPS Comment:
I've been an nvidia-only user until I found this gem of a card. It's supassed all my expectations and then some. Paired off the AMD 955 Black Edition CPU and ASUS motherboard for full compatibility, this card works flawlessly. Programs such as PS CS5 work with no downtime when working on Hi-Res 2D/3D images. I have no complaints what-so-ever other than that the VGA cooler is kind of big for a medium sized case to support a Crossfire configuration [Installed in CoolerMaster 922 ATX case], and quite loud when the fan is set to automatic and under heavy load [I recommend to stay under the %60 fan speed area on manual]ATI Catalyst Control Center makes overclocking a breeze with [almost] full control of the card, making sure limitations of the card are set as a maximum number.I'm looking forward to the 69xx series but for now I will most likely be getting a 2nd 6850 to get even better results. I've yet to experience the Eyefinity tech but from what I've had the pleasure of experiencing, I can assure you that it would be an awesome experience.I have to give this card a 9.5/10 because of the noise factor at high fan speeds. Other than that, a flawless piece of work. |

Pros: Quiet and Powerful Comment:
This is an impressive card, so far it has been fluid on everything I have thrown at it. On max settings in COD:Black Ops I am getting 42 FPS, don't even need crossfire at this point. Deadly quiet and a great price, Highly recommended. |

NoneBut check its primary competitor
Pros: Good valueRuns many modern games on at least high Comment:
Bought this video card for a PC and it has been serving me well. Many games pre 2009 works flawlessly with this card and it has the muscle to run today's games as well. For the price/performance it's a great buy. But as another reviewer had said, do a bit of research and check its competition nvidia is a good company as well. |

Cons:
A 500 Watt PSU recommended in single card configuration.
Pros: Runs cool, quiet, low power to performance ratio, and affordable. Comment:
For the price this card is awesome. Worked straight out of the box with easy install. Currently running games on ultra/1680 x 1050 res/full AA with fluid frame rates. Requires only one six pin 75 watt power connector. Lots of goodies including:Crossfire bridge2 DVI Ports (instead of multiple Display Port)molex to 6 pin connector (for older PSUs) |

Cons:
Cursor flickers in systray area likely due to driver issues.
Pros: Idles at 39, load in Furmark at 74 h 50% fanspeed using auto fan profile. Pretty cool and quiet.At 60%, it'll be louder than the 120mm Yate Loon. D12SL-12 case fan. Average overclocker h 920/1080.Small enough to fit into an Antec Three Hundred no problems. Comment:
Great bang for your buck but do look at its' primary competitor, the GTX 460's prices - was a no brainer when my purchase was made. Performs as expected, is easy on the power consumption and is cool and quiet. Meets my expectations. |
Bought this card used on line for $75 and I'm blown away by the performance in benchmarks and games. I was a bit leery buying a Sapphire because I've had problems with that brand's cooling in the past. Not so with this little card, it runs very cool, fan is quiet and efficient. This card at this price would be an excellent choice for crossfire with the single power plugs and low draw. Highly recommended!
