PowerColor Radeon HD 6850 AX6850 1GBD5-DH Video Card with Eyefinity

Comment:
I don't do much else other than play games and watch 720p TV shows with this computer. Plays everything I've thrown at it so far. If I had another PCIE2.1 slot on my Mobo I would probably buy another to go crossfire.

I bought this card to replace an eVGA gtx 460 768mb I planned on overclocking (because the gtx 460 OC great) but returned it and purchased this the day it came out.The gtx 460 price cuts haven't occurred however so this card is less costly than a common gtx 460 1gb and on typical a tad more rapidly. The gtx 460 1gb is also at a price point at present exactly where one really should devote a bit much less and get the far better 6850 or a bit far more and get the far superior 6870-and physx is too irrelevant a feature to select the gtx 460 more than the 6850. Also, even although the card doesn't smoke the gtx 460 by any means, the margin will only increase as much more mature drivers for the amd hd 6000 series are released.It is quiet and actually cool. Runs Negative Company two at 1920x1080 at max settings (including HBAO) with 4xaa and 16xaf. These cons are with respect to this POWERCOLOR 6850. The package is barebones. And I mean it! It only contains the box, the card, drivers cd, and a dvi to vga adapter. There is NO included crossfirex cable and no HDMI cable.The 6850 is a excellent card but get it from some other manufacturer other than powercolor. Pick gigabyte...their package is a lot more fully stocked.As nicely, while this card can overclock well as far as the numbers go, they don't translate to an even remotely important boost in performance (typically much less than Ƴ% improve in framerate). The GTX 460 is a fantastic OC card but then again it requires to be OCed just to match the 6850 at best. But it can be argued the poor OC indicates they squeezed all the overhead out of this card and it gives additional cause for shoppers to run it at stock safe settings.

Very quick delivery. Installed without any problems.

nice card worked on a fresh construct.quiet so far no crossfire bridge (hence the 4 eggs) had no complications setting this up and acquiring it operating

Comment:
Awesome card for the price. If you're developing a spending budget rig this is the card for you. I havent done considerably in the way of benchmarking my new rig however but I have played a bit of wow. Im obtaining about 80 FPS in the middle of stormwind with the game turned up to ultra and the res maxed out. none

Comment:
newegg rocks!! purchased this vid card and a few hours later it went on sale for บ much less and newegg refunded me บ. that says alot about the company and why i have purchased every thing from them none

Comment:
Decent price, not overly massive size, doesn't bake your system, very good value for its class None yet I purchased this to run in my new rig: Core i5-760 with 8 GB RAM and Windows 7 64-bit, wrapped in a X-QPACK2 modest footprint case. Initially I was going to get a HD 5770 but when this came out I gave it a attempt.I play WoW and Starcraft 2 and am finding 50+ fps on each with Ultra settings. Install was a breeze and I have not had any troubles at all with it. A extremely superior mid-range card for the cost.

For a 1 gig 256-bit PCI Express 2. on the a affordable scale this factor performs Incredibly nicely. I'm contemplating selecting up yet another 1 to crossfire them together, with its very low energy consumption is possible to do so even with only a 650watt powersource Can card as is and absolutely nothing else save a VGA adapter. I was expecting this but it would be good to have some crossfire connectors to come with to I highly recommend this card for people today who want performance on a low budget. Reasonably priced and crossfire friendly, just bear in mind to obtain the connectors separately; package comes with only the card and one VGA adapter

Comment:
Nice card for the low price. Will definitely get one more for Crossfire later on when price hits lower.

I managed to get a stable clock speed of 940Mhz on the core and 4640 on the memory, I lowered it to 935/4600 just to be safe. The card in my setup never runs hotter than 70 degrees, idles at 44 OC'd. I ran furmark and prime95 at the same time and my computer was stable at those speeds. I own a phenom II x6 1100T + 8GB 1333Mhz Mushkin Ram, so this graphics card is my bottleneck, but on BF3 Beta, I got an average of 40FPS on High-Ultra settings with 30FPS as low and 55FPS as high. This is performance to the budget, get this card if you're on a budget and want to play BF3 on high-ultra settings.

Powercolor has not been on the market that long for ATI. Being a brand new company they are putting out a strong effort to make themselves a name by under selling their competition and still providing great cards.As a single card this little guy can't put up with much at 1200p but enabling two cards in crossfire modes puts this card ahead of the 6970.A fantastic upgrade from my 5850 I am very pleased with this new company and their products.

Comment:
Very good buy, extremely cost effective. At such a low price it beats anything from the competition.Enjoyed it a lot and bought a second one.

Comment:
When I first opened the package, one of the fan blade was missing... I am still waiting for a replacement. Other than that, the performance should be very good for the price. Only use one 6 pin connector, and seems a bit shorter than my previous 9800 gtx+.I might think twice before buying a Powercolor video card again.

In Summary i got this for 14 bucks, if you add the 2 prices of the 2 free games i got : Deus EX Human Revulaion and Total War Shogun 2 Which both are 50 dollars on steam. now the sale is over and lame for you. However...Still pretty sick deal.

Comment:
Superior performance in game, no problems with it and appears to run everything actually well. It takes up two rear slots and I had to move around challenging drives to install. No Crossfire bridge Its a powerful (a bit power hungry) and bulky card but performs up to expectations.

Comment:
-good mid range card, runs everything well except brink, next driver release would probably fix it so no worries, very quiet card.

Comment:
This is a pretty acceptable card for about $100, I am not sure you could do better, bang for buck its a solid purchase.I find the default fan settings to be a bit slow, and the card tends to heat up a bit. The fan isn't overly loud, so I am not sure why the drivers cant have the fan going a few more %'s higher according to the temperature.

Comment:
Got this for $110 after MIR. Glad to see that it only uses one PC cable. Installed this on my gaming rig and so far it runs WoW and SCII flawlessly. Will probably crossfire this bad boy in a few years when I run out of juice.

Comment:
Got it for 109 bucks with mir. great card. only uses 1 pci-e cable, and runs WoW on ultra perfectly. great price and runs a shade over 50 while gaming. can't wait to crossfire this card soon.

Comment:
This is pretty good deal considering $110 with MIR (but who knows if I will ever get that $30 back). Anywho, $140, it is a decent card that can OC to 850Mhz using Catalyst. I run 24" 1900x1060 and it runs most of games at max but it does get hot around 70 on prolonged use. If I ever get 27", then I might just cross fire it by getting another one in the future. Who knows, may be I can pick this one up for $50 in few years.

I bought a second 6850 from XFX. These cards run all my games in full rez and are ultra quiet! none to feel of.

Comment:
Quite quickly, based on running games like Crysis/Crysis 2 on full max settings. I've not done FPS tests, but visually it's quite smooth. For the duration of regular program use the fan is Very quiet. The fan gets somewhat louder under load, but it's still quieter than my CPU fan, so that's not Definitely a con. It's a lengthy-ish card, but in a mid or full tower you shouldn't have any issues. For the income I spent, it's a heck of a card.

Comment:
Like I said above for this price range you can't go wrong. What else could I say, it's an hd 6850. It doesn't have the coolest look compared to XFX's cards but who cares about that. If you're into gaming right now I highly suggest picking one of those right now.

Another happy camper with PowerColor. I've purchased a few 4850's, 5770's and now this 6850 all with rebates that I've submitted and received and this card is no exception for price/performance. I'm playing COD Black Ops maxed, Bulletstorm maxed aswell as Portal 2 - Dirt 2 and 3 on high settings and this card plays some smoother than my 5770. I'm not overclocking anything and this is just to say the card(s) play that good. Also to note...this card is not extremely noisy on the stock fan like a previous XFX was for another customer! In fact I think the card for what the cooling is very reasonably quiet and I'm a noise freak! Setup was painless...download newest drivers...setup-reboot done.

Comment:
It's an HD6850. What's there to say? Works well. Plays Crysis along with my i5 2500k o 4.4GHz. It's fast and cool. I did replace the stock cooler, though. Not overclocked in my system. only con is that the voltages are locked in the bios. what a shame!
