Right after substantially investigation on OC'n the 5850 series, I finally stumbled upon this beauty. This is one particular of the greatest and handful of 5850 brands making use of a non reference board w/ excellent cooling that supports voltage tweaking. The Sapphire 5850 brands do NOT assistance voltage tweaking which is a shame because they have lovely cards. Thankfully, this ASUS model has great cooling capacity that even rivals Sapphire's Vapor X cooling! No will need to flash bios or do any pencil or hard mods which voids the warranty! Supports voltage tweaking working with software for wonderful OC final results!The right after market place cooler is also incredibly quiet even though keeping my card cool.As always Newegg is the finest, they shipped it to my door the quite next day. None however.Seriously obtain this card ahead of supplies run dry since I am sure it will! And for those who are not interested in OC'ng the 5850 series, why NOT!? You get the greatest bang for your buck OC'ing this card which can boost functionality up to 35% with voltage tweak! A lot of on the internet articles show that an OC'ed 5850 is on par with the 5870 for a fraction of the price.

- Really quiet card- Great cooling- Excellent efficiency possible- Finest 5850 on the marketplace for overclocking The issue with this card is not in the hardware. As generally, ASUS makes exceptional top quality solutions. However, ATi's drivers are terrible, producing it impossible for me to use this card. Upon installation of the latest Catalyst ten.4 drivers, I experienced substantial amounts of screen tearing in the course of loading of the Windows welcome screen, and my Computer would crash just attempting to enable the Windows Aero interface. Any attempts to use or test Direct3D also causes crashes. Furthermore, Catalyst Control Center has one of the worst interfaces for managing your graphics settings. I could maybe let that slide, but getting unable to play any games or enable Windows Aero is unacceptable ATi. I was really hoping this was going to be the card that switched me back to ATi--I even attempted installing older drivers with no luck. Immediately immediately after popping in my old NVIDIA 9800 GT even so, the drivers installed flawlessly and my method had total stability. I'm certain this assessment is almost certainly going to be down-rated since others can't seem to fully grasp that just because their system works fine doesn't imply it really should for everybody else or they certainly should be amateurs. The truth of the matter is, I've completed the analysis and it appears it's not just me who is possessing troubles with ATi drivers functioning with Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. Manufacturer Response:Dear Valued ASUS Client,We sincerely apologize for the troubles you have skilled with the drivers you have installed. AMD has lately released their Catalyst ten.6 and be downloaded from their help site straight (link supplied beneath). If you are still getting concerns after installing the most current driver please email me straight at aps_help@asus.com for additional help. Thank you.Ideal Regards,DonASUS Solution AssistanceExternal Link(s): ATI Catalyst™ version ten.six dow|

They may possibly make good paperweights I set up these cards and attempt to boot and I get a steady beep with the three beep vga failure signal. I purchased 2 of them to run in crossfire mode but can't get either to function in any of the three computer systems I own. I RMA'd them to New Egg to get them replaced (BTW you have to spend to ship the components the sent you that don't operate) and just received two much more. Not only do I get the identical errors now but neither card that was reshipped is new. They each showed signs of getting been opened someplace else with one missing a spring that is there to hold the heatsink against the processor.

Like numerous other reviewers have stated, this is the very best 5850 period. Here are the items that I like most about the card: - Jet black PCB - Quite higher functionality cooler and overall solid construction - Overclocked mine to 980 / 1250 on 1.299 V - 18922 efficiency GPU score in vantage and ㅧ fps in crysis gpu benchmark at close to incredibly higher settings 񢈀x1080 no AA) when overclocked - Idles at 30°C (when it downclocks to 157 / 300, 1.118 V ) and gets up to 70°C - 75°C at complete load. This is with ambient temps a bit above 22°C. I should also mention that I leave the side panel off of my case for much better ventilation. - Doesn't make also substantially noise, and coming from a reference 4870, this was one particular of the largest points for me. Subjectively, the fan is inaudible under 40% and doesn't get annoying up until 60%, which is adequate to cool the card under almost (not furmark) any circumstance. My computer system is set up appropriate next to me with the card being significantly less than 1 meter from my ears. My only complaint about this card isn't about the hardware itself, but about the software that comes with it. Smartdoctor ... sucks. I only use it to set the voltages now and it can't even do that proper. Anytime I resume from suspend, smartdoctor drops the core voltage by six mV for what ever purpose, which was causing mysterious crashes till I figured out what was going on. I've tried to configure afterburner to manage the voltage of the card but I've had no luck with that. I've attempted picking the acceptable verify boxes and editing the profiles in the installation directory, but absolutely nothing has worked. I've only noticed it perform with cards working with cat. 10.4 for what its worth. Fortunately, gamer OSD does not have to be installed along with smartdoctor. I was a bit worried about the energy consumption of the card just before I purchased it. I have a 500 W power provide, but its only rated for 348 W combined over the 12 V rails. Turns out my entire systems pulls about 320 W from the wall at complete load (with a core i3 540 at four GHz and 2 HDDs, PSU is rated at ᡾% efficiency) and about 105 W at idle. I've had no troubles delivering energy to this card and I'm even utilizing a molex to PCIE adapter for the eight-pin connector on the card.All in all, this is one particular actually remarkable card. The only explanation I didn't go with the Prime version of this card is mainly because it was 20 bucks additional than the regular version when I purchased it. Seeing as how the Leading version is only ten bucks a lot more at this point, you may be superior off going with that card, as it increases your chances of hitting the coveted 1 GHz overclock.

Great cooling solution, voltage handle out of the box, looks nice, properly constructed, very rapid, quite simple to overclock. It does expense 跠. Clever Medical doctor is clunky and won't hold voltage adjustments when you reboot. I made all my adjustments in Catalyst Control Center, but you can't adjust the voltage from there. Not a con for the card, just for the supplied software. Installed catalyst 10.4 drivers with out a hitch so far. I overclocked this out of the box to 880񳃰 in CCC with no touching the voltage, stable 15 min Furmark and hours upon hours of gaming and benchmark loops, maxing out at 77c with the fan locked at a reasonably quiet 60%. If I utilized the thresholds to raise the fan to 70% following 70c I'm certain the temp would be even decrease. Out of the box, the cooler performs greater than reference designs.If you OC the memory, verify with a benchmark to confirm your framerates as you raise the clocks. The memory will begin performing poorly long ahead of it will crash. Extremely pleased with this card, will have it for a lengthy time.

* appears good. I was truly excited to get this installed. * Wouldn't POST. All fans in Computer came on even the GPU fan but couldn't get it to turn on. Removed from technique and noticed the heat pipes had been warm so the factor was finding energy. Rebooted Computer working with integrated graphics and every little thing was fine. Rechecked all connections to GPU and attempted once again - nothing at all. What a disappointment. It's becoming RMAed now. Waiting for an additional. * This is a long card produced even longer as the power connectors are plugged in from the rear and not the top rated. It's advertised as 9.five inches lengthy. Add a different 1.five inches or so with your power connectors. I'm using a CM Scout case. The card with power connectors pushed into the five.25 inch drive bays but thankfully I have an open one particular so not an issue. Make positive you have 11 inches in your case for this card that is if you get a functioning 1. * cost dropped just soon after I bought it. To rub it in, there's now a rebate available but I missed it by a day.

I have bought several things from Newegg and I have not been let down. Outstanding service hands down....Now for the card. Had it considering that March 2010. Working with Sensible Physician and CCC Overdrive together to overclock (At my personal risk). I had it clocked 1000񴁀 @ three.49v playing Black Ops tonight. 1600x900 Temp 44-45. Never ever had a challenge with a driver. I have replaced the stock thermal paste with Tuniq. Great stuff also. Considering of acquiring one more 5850 and an Asus GTX 460 for Physx to fill my other PCI slots. None

I don't have a lot of gaming benchmarks; but both cards are very comparable. I'm positive the 470 can be OC'd a lot higher but heat begins skyrocketing. You'd will need water cooling to take full advantage of the 470. You can drop a small heat by adding a specific backplate but then your fees start increasing. The Cinebench11.5 score is intriguing; 5850 genuinely pulls ahead. 470 requires leads in Heaven 2.1. * Noise is the difference for me. To keep the 470 cool; you really need to have the fan cranked up. I have to give it up to Asus on the EAH5850, they genuinely got the heat beneath handle even with a massive OC I can keep fan low and not worry about heat. *My Rig:Gigabyte MA785G-UD3H motherboardPhenom II X4 965 @ 4.03GHz WEI-7.five4G ADATA DDR2 800MHz RAM WEI-7.fiveƒ) WD 640GB cavair black hard drivesWindows 7 ProCM Scout case Hyper 212 plus cpu cooler in with push/pull fans

Easy to install and straightforward to take back out Received and installed the card, booted computer system and anything worked excellent. Got everything installed and decided to go for a test run hl2 on max settings. Worked for about two hours, followed by computer system freezing. Restarted and wouldn’t post with the card in. Had to get rid of it and put in an older video card to even get the computer system to post again. Returning it for a new one particular and will revise this if it the new one functions.

All games run at max settings 򜮀x1080. Uncomplicated overclocking (using MSI afterburner). Stays cool below load. ASUS application integrated is quite shoddy. I recommend downloading MSI afterburner to adjust core clock, and memory clock. If you should boost voltage, you have no choice but to use ASUS Smartdoctor. For the cost paid, I believe this issue is a steal. When teamed up with better software, the overclockability is outstanding.

DirectCU cooler, potential to surpass "stock" 5870 speeds rather effortlessly making use of each Medical doctor and Afterburner. Incredibly properly constructed, it's really the very best 5850 in terms of anything. The overclocking threshold is ridiculous, it can do 1000񳄄 and manage effectively below 65c at load ࿨F ambient). The card is silent at 70% or under which is a key plus when watching Blu-Ray in warm ambient conditions. Price tag is appropriate, back when the card came out it was about 330.00$. three Year Warranty is also a plus. Stock thermal compound is on the low end. Re-pasting with Karat/Gelid Extreme or equivalent is recommended. Energy connectors at the finish of the card could be a hassle for some.

Lots of headroom for more than clockingCool temps Asus repair. They don't do substantially if something.... Sent card in when Computer began locking up through gaming and becnchmarking. They sent the card back and it had the exact same concerns. I don't believe they did something to the card. Had nearby Pc shop test it and was stable at core speeds beneath 700 only. Now I'm out the price of the Pc shop diagnostic charge plus the cost of shipping...prolly twice! Great card....poor repair/customer service. For shame! Stick with Sapphire for cards and Asus for mobo.

1) Runs great. It runs Crysis at Enthusiast settings. Much more importantly, it's operating Poor Firm 2 at max settings smoothly. It elevated my reaction time compared to my old card, improving my k/d ratio.2) Runs COOL. Running at 32 deg C idle. My old card, choked with dust was operating at 80 deg C idle.three) Overclocking options, even though I haven't required to use them.four) Open card, i.e. there is no box about it. It's an open card with a fan attached. This is actually crucial due to the fact it dissipates heat much superior, and simpler to clean dust out of. My old card, (boxy EVGA 9800 GX2), was choked with dust, and I had to dismantle the box to attempt to clean out the dust, even then I couldn't get at all the dust. None so far, but I've only used it for a week. Operating this making use of Directx 11, on Vista 64 bit Residence.I'm utilizing an ASUS Socket 775 motherboard, an Intel Quad2Core chip.

The is a quite really nice card. I had deemed purchasing other versions of this card, but was swayed by reviewers gushing more than this particular card's high quality, which was the functioning notion for my develop. The excellent is quickly apparent for the duration of the unpackaging and installation. The wireless adapter I purchased to operate with my laptop didn't, so I was forced to download the drivers on one more pc and migrate them more than to the new program. This worked totally flawlessly. I'm excited to see what this card can do when pushed to it's limits. The quiet but efficient fan and the open style look like they would simply lend themselves to sophisticated overclocking. I'll be overclocking medium-uncommon till I can get my hands on yet another of these. No Cons.5850 Versus other cards:I chose this distinct card following studying the all the unique builds on the marketplace. The Radeon HD 5850 appeals to me due to the fact it is a extremely solid graphics resolution on it's personal, but it also leaves area (and dollars) for expansion later. This is possibly the 5th or 6th most effective card being sold as of July 2010 (depending how you appear at it). The 5850 presents effective functionality with very good energy and heat management. This is what lead me to ATI versus nVidia, which has far more potent cards, but consume far more heat and power disproportionately in proportion to their performance capability. Due to the fact I'm building for longevity, it rewards me to run a cooler card. For me, this was a revolutionary get. I haven't owned a truthful-to-goodness desktop computer given that 2004, and this card was dropped in a brand new Intel 1156 gaming machine. I spent the summer time researching the suitable card for my create, and have watched the newest generation of cards from nVidia and ATI becoming rolled out given that January.Aesthetically, the black PCB is really eye-catching and matches the black of my motherboard completely. All in all, I couldn't be happier with this obtain. It's tricky to find this card, and I'm so glad I got a single when it was available. I've seen it right here on the Egg only twice, and at a better value than most e-tailers. Snag it while you can

rips games apart and keeps quite quiet even though performing it. I like each of these qualities. Appears like it will overclock effectively when I go down that road. whines on certain scenes. Not the fan, but the chip itself... it's strange, not throughout high poly scenes, but I haven't narrowed down the precise variables that trigger it. It is super annoying considering that the card is otherwise such a champ. Will probably seek a replacement, although I hate the hassle. A seriously perfect card, but possibly I have a defect of some kind. weird. I want to give five stars, but the whine, the case exhaust, and the price bring it to 3. will attempt to update if points adjust. I would definitely look at this card if you are obtaining- my troubles may very well be distinctive.

See other thoughts. See other thoughts. To the reviewer below me, if you want to unlock the voltage manage using AB you will will need to edit the .cfg file that is positioned in the AB folder (edit the .cfg file to enable "UnofficialATiOverclocking from to 1", conserve then overclock and you are completed. Not certain why you choose this card for watercooling given that you could have bought a reference version at a cheaper value w/o obtaining the hassle of attaching the water block.You can also use AB for the clocks and Doctor for the voltage, each function properly together so there is no will need to flash the Bios given that all you need to have to do is make certain you click on the tab that says "apply overclocking at method start out-up" and this will lock your settings I have this card running at 1025񳃫 1.24v and it has plenty a lot more headroom. If any individual has a query regarding this card please do some investigation prior to paying for just to be on the risk-free side. Very good Luck!
