The card operates wonderful proper out of the box. In Isle of Conquest (WOW pvp battleground), frame price dropped only to 58 FPS as opposed down to 26 FPS with my old 4870. The card is a incredibly (underline and bold the quite) tight match in my Antec Sonata II case. Just like each and every other time I have attempted to set up the Catalyst Control Center, it crashed for the duration of install... Absolutely a difficulty involving Win XP 64 and .netfx . The drivers from catalyst 10.5 operate just fine, immediately after I upgraded the device by way of the device manager. Of course I can't tweak the card now.

Great card! Strong performer. Replaced my 4850x2 that was RMA'd (Artifacting) and its replacement was thrown away. The cost for the 5830 was a wee bit on the high side, on the other hand, anxiety level was @ so it paid off - ~ Plug in, load drivers, play - I like ~

excellent card for the price tag its a massive card sop i wouldn't place it in a small case mines a mid tower and has 1ǘ in left works excellent haven't had a problem with it at all for the 6 weeks ive had it would get again waiting for D3 to come out its a large card measure 11.5 inches GET IT!!! its worth the $$$

Comment:
Strong card for what its price tag presents. Fan is relatively quiet even below complete load it's barely audible. Third Sapphire card I've worked with and still dilemma cost-free. Card is enormous. If you've got a mid-tower case that has the hard drive cage mounted sideways (ports facing you), it's going to be a tight fit. Very best card at the moment that's in the 赨-趚 range. If you're searching for efficiency that won't break the bank then this would be the card to purchase. The option would be to get two 5770s and Crossfire those. Otherwise the 5850 is the next step up but that's ๖-๪ a lot more.Installed on ASUS P7P55D-E Pro in a Zalman GT900 case.

Still going strong, smokes moh, nfshp, get in touch with of duty Black ops, gtr evo, dirt two, unreal three, fairly much smokes them all with a lil ol Phenom II X3 550BE cpu and 4 gigs ddr3 I had a single con with the egg cuz they dropped the price ten bucks they day immediately after, then I wrote a overview stating that challenge, didnt even ask for the distinction in price and all of a sudden I get an e-mail stating that I will be credited for the difference!!! so that con is vanished, If you require a excellent video card and dont care about maxing crysis....acquire this card now, you wont regret it, its awesome. For men and women saying that the fan is loud, yes it is but its only going to get loud if you place it in a situation with undesirable airflow cuz in my cm storm sniper case with all fans at lowest it nonetheless hasnt spun up and doesnt get hot, the only cause I know it gets loud is I turned the fan to 100% in Ati CCC new egg rocks as usually

This card replaced a Sapphire 4830 512 card that was performing about 60,000 credits a day at Milkyway@home.Ideal now I am running around 180,000 a day with this card. Big card, could not match in some circumstances. I do game with it as effectively, but when I am not here it keeps itself busy crunching.

Comment:
Very good quickly card.Runs every thing beautifully.It's massive CCC is a discomfort Could advantage from a 512bit interface.Also when I first got it I had some hardware difficulties with the card. Screen going green, displaying vertical lines, freezing up for no purpose. It also couldn't deal with windows aero and facebook chat at the exact same time.1 replacement later and we're all great. Got it back more quickly than my OCZ product also. Great showNow I'm back to makin income, and pwnin noobz

this card is great i was capable to completely construct my rig in less than an hour and 1st i started out up it worked like a charm. and i have a high level of understanding when it comes to computers but not putting them with each other + the graphics are very very good i purchased this card to play mw2 but now im gonna play anything!!! possibly its length i got a full tower so i dont know its a enormous improvement from my radeon X1200

Decent specs for the $$. Sapphire has been very good to me in the past, with performance & reliability for an inexpensive price tag. Worthless if it doesn't perform. Lasted about 15 minutes, long adequate to configure new BIOS and the RAID array on my new system. Then started out putting in Win7 and the vid card went crazy on a reboot. No, it's not the driver either... fan went full speed & vid was fully blank even for the duration of BIOS, and one more vid card I had worked fine. Originally I ignored the undesirable critiques on the 5830's reliability, but there may possibly be one thing to it. Newegg did a fine job of issuing an RMA and waiving the restocking fee. I upgraded to an XFX 5850 with lifetime warranty. Figured if these chips are marginal I'd want the superior warranty. It's operating fine so far.

Comment:
-Good card, such a fantastic cost/performance ratio its shocking.-Runs cool, fan is extremely quiet -Enormous, seriously, this card literally intimidated me the second I pulled it out of the box

Comment:
= ] I got this card due to my budget not allowing a 5850 or 70. I was kinda bummed that it was not going to hold its own. I WAS WAY OFF. I have this card set to max settings and turned up the overdrive to max just for enjoyable... I was blown away when it only reached 65C making use of GUI Tool with 100% load. I also use 3DMark and without having tweaks I get a rating of about 10K for video.If you want a card that is cost effective and makes you smile.... This is it! Its huge. I have a mid tower and I have to plug the energy wires in before I install it. *Make certain you have the space*

Comment:
it functions... sort of (FPS are awesome) XD the card shows Massive artifacts EVERYWHERE, and the 3D models are *really* distorted, in *ALL* my games I am writing this even though writing for an RMA.... genuinely sucks I have to pay Additional funds (because of the return shipping) for a broken item then what men and women pay for a completely functional item, funny isn't it? This is my 1st RMA I've had to do... we will see how it goes. I build a lot of systems and this is my first ATI card, Ive never ever had this issue with Nvidia. hope ATI tends to make it appropriate, Since this is my first knowledge with ATI, and now i have a ũ,400 computer with no VGA card. I doubt i will ever buy from ATI yet again, Nvidia has all approaches been solid for me, and I'm just genuinely "upset" i have to spend A lot more money on this personal computer then i currently have

Comment:
Fairly a powerful video card. Performance is all around far better when using Windows. It seems like ATI's Linux help is fairly poor. Resizing windows struggles with no the ATI kernel mods. When these are installed I have to make other alterations or I get a "Unsupported Hardware" watermark on my monitors. Once again, it can be resolved, but obtaining 2nd class assistance when operating Linux indicates I'll be acquiring NVidia chipsets from here on out.

Comment:
The temperatures are low(were speaking 60 degrees Celsius under heavy load). Straightforward set up which makes it possible for you to control of fan and overclock devoid of getting to download additional software program. So far it has taken almost everything I have thrown at it in max settings 1920x1080(Assassins Creed two, Batman, WOW, and MW2.) This is a Extended card. Its not so undesirable on the width but the length is outrageous. Fortunately it just barely fit prior to operating into my challenging drive. Case: SIGMA LUNA. Does take up a lot of energy. If your a standard gamer like me this card will undoubtedly do the job properly and at a fair price.

This card was 279.00 dollars a year ago, currently I purchased my second for crossfire setting for 140.00 total at Newegg. Fantastic card, default fan runs at 21 percent increases to 44 percent when playing BF2. Temp gets up to 67C when playing, but if I turn the fan to 100% it by no means gets over 55C. Correct now its 10ᛆpm the space is cool, fan at 45% Temp is 28C. NO CONS This card is worth the funds, fantastic for games, video, and hdtv. With this single card I was obtaining 60fps playing Just Cause2. I will update after I install the second card in Crossfire mode. Crossfire mode will raise overall performance, but in only 1 out of eight test on a overview web page did it blow away a higher finish card. So it depends on what games i play. I truly like BF2 and Supreme Commander 2. Also play Metro 2033 with good graphics. This Card Is A Fantastic Spending budget Card to Acquire. Been waiting for Newegg to get it back in stock so I could put a second card in.

Plug and play (A plus for newbie builders). This card just screams. I couldn't be happier with this purchase. Tom's hardware says two 4850's out perform it but they run on far more power and have no Direct X 11 support. I was going to go with the 5850 but I have no regrets saving the 60 bucks on this one. It screams. After going to sleep once the pc woke up but not the monitor. Could be a early driver issue for the card. Other than that its been flawless If you are on a spending budget get this card. You will be so satisfied.

H O L Y C O W.... easy plug and play set up and only amazing graphics! Running GTA4 on extremely higher settings and it has not dropped a single frame however. Insane quantity of detail in larger finish games. The water in GTA4 is beyond belief, and the specifics of the cars are incredibly realistic! Not genuinely a con, but this card is Big.... make certain you have a good sized case for this thing to fit in nicely, and enough energy from your energy provide to feed it! Both power connectors should be on to run the card as effectively. By far, this is the Greatest video card I have ever bought in my life. For the price of ~趆, the results will take your breath away!

Benched at ㅋK in 3Dmark06 at stock settings. Quiet. Incredibly cool operating. Would only OC to 830 prior to locking up in 3Dmark06, so I went back to stock settings. Soon after 41 days, the card started artifacting in games as straightforward as NHL 09. I re-seated it, ran Sweeper in risk-free mode, attempted various Catalyst drivers up to the newest ones. No change. Eventually, from attempting to reinstall the card twice, my XP x64 boot sector got corrupted. Was planning on installing my Win7 Pro immediately after a major audio project, anyway, so no biggie for me (all files backed up), but would have been an concern for most users. There has been speculation that the 5830 is an original B-stock archetectured 5870, with the poor shaders and ROP's laser-cut on the GPU with additional ones cut down to produce a uniform 񔛦" archetecture. Some men and women have had fantastic results with this card, others have had quite a few difficulties. Appears to be luck of the Lot# draw. Newegg RMA'd for retailer credit, which is why I gave 2 eggs rather than only 1. They generally treat me and the individuals I suggest to them ideal! Making use of the credit towards a Sapphire HD 5850. Sapphire is nonetheless a fantastic ATI brand. Not their fault (ATI's rather), from what I've read. The 5830 need to have existed as it's own ATI release rather than a re-hash to fill a niche in between the 5770 and 5850. ATI really should have rethought this 1.

Comment:
DX 11, Eyefinity, Lower Power Consumption vs 4890, lower gpu temps than 4890 Efficiency is essentially the very same as a 4890 with a โ raise in value, 5850 at original retail value is only ุ additional. If you don't mind the card performing as properly as the outgoing 4890, then you will be fairly satisfied with this card, otherwise two 5770's in CF, or a 5850 is most likely a much more appealing selection, and worth the slight additional cost. When NVIDIA gets some new cards out, this will hopefully drop to 趆-200, and feel additional on par with what it ought to cost a customer.

The card is great, and have yet to have any issues. Plays all the games i play on max with zero hick-ups. Not really a con to me but may possibly be to most. ITS Huge..u never ever really spend considerably attention to other posters comments on big it is but only recognize it following trying to set up it, lol. Also calls for 2x6 pin power connectors to run vs. 5770 :( Bigger the greater they say...it looks astounding when installed and u know u got one thing serious when you got bulging copper pipes sticking out of the shrowd (nearly). IF u got the little added bit of money to throw about and the proper specs to support it or a future second i would extremely recommend this card but if your on a spending budget and desires equivalent efficiency, i would suggest the 5770

Comment:
Fantastic card is straightforward to over clock with ATi Catalyst.perform fantastic with my power supply 400 Wattsthe card only use lot of power in multi care games i just tune a bit down to 775MHZ and manual fan to 100% to hold it cool. and it won't draw lots of power.this card is a should obtain for the extreme gamer.I can more than clock the card when i upgrade my energy provide to 600 watts. The card is CrossFire and sli assistance. none so far.

Straightforward to set up, 5 minutes and it was up and running perfect. Got it for 赨 right after rebate. Rapid, looks wonderful for MW2. It's been stated all over here but worth repeating. SHE'S A Massive One! Had lots of space but had to relocate a couple SATA plugs on my board to fit it in. Upgraded from a 3870 to this and the alter is outstanding. No issues, no artifacts on mine, luck of the draw? Given Newegg's return policy if you can get it around 赨 once again I'd say it's worth a shot.

I got this card with a mail in rebate and free shipping. Massive upgrade more than what I had. Has a HDMI out, but in order to get 3 displays you want to use a Display Port adapter which runs about 80-100 bucks. Really extended, nearly didn't fit in my antec 900 case. I had to take the inside situation fan out of it or it wouldn't be capable to get power from the PSU.
