I bought this to replace my Windows 7 machine's EVGA 9800GT. I removed the drivers and uninstalled the 9800. After installing the 5850 everything seem to be going okay. However once the drivers were installed the system would sometimes boot into windows then eventually just reboot or just crash. I did everything from Safe mode, different drivers, removing my anti virus software to doing the chicken dance with no success.There have been problems reported similar to this online however I did fix the issue. I reinstalled Windows 7 and now everything works great. Not exactly the fix I was looking for but at least I don't have to RMA the card :)

Purchased with a 1090T, 890GX, and 8GB DDR3.Very pleased with my performance.I've only played Oblivion and Anno 1404 so far, but both run at max settings without any lag whatsoever. I saw Oblivion get down as low as 37FPS once, but I haven't been able to duplicate that since.I haven't checked the load temperature on the card yet, but considering the noise levels at stock (minimal compared to everything going on in my case) I'm not worried about it. The cooler includes copper heatpipes to help improve cooling efficiency.My motherboard can support crossfire, and at this time I wouldn't hesitate to get another one of these if I found graphics power lacking some time in the future.Requires 2x6pin PCI-E power adapters.
