Pros: had solid fps, wish it would have lasted Cons: I will never be purchasing from Sapphire again, I got this card and it lasted a good month and a half and It had a solid fps on most games and was flawless, then came the problems. I started to get all of these graphical errors and skips that I should absolutely not be getting on a computer with my specs with this card. from Newegg.com Pros: it worked well at one point? Cons: Will never be buying from sapphire again, the card came and worked for about a month, and then it just took a dive and my fps is extremely low on all games and I get all this lag (games will skip frames and freeze and etc and I'm sure it is not a latency issue as well trust me, happens in offline games)then sapphire expects me to pay for shipping for an RMA all the way across the country and wait up to 4 weeks for a new card since they gave me dud when I have a single computer with no other graphics cards around Other Thoughts: I don't seem to be the only one that has had trouble with this card from Newegg.com Great review at THG for 4850 series. Cons: Screen image died while in use. Lasted a little over a month (BIOS error, AMI 1 long, 3 short on old ASUS M2V). Replaced RAM and tried different slots...still error. from Newegg.com Pros: Excellent video card. My settings are nearly maxed out on all games I own, including Crysis, without breaking a sweat, and this is just a single. from Newegg.com Pros: Was able to run everything at highest graphics settings for a few days Cons: Died after a few days. Other Thoughts: The first card lasted 3 days and then I got no video at all. RMA'd it for a replacement. from Newegg.com Pros: A wonderful card for the money. I am running Windows 7 and all I had to do was hook it up and the drivers were installed for me. I played a little Guild Wars to try it out and it worked fantastically. Cons: It is a little wider than most older video cards and takes up two slots on the motherboard, but that is really little problem with most motherboards offering sound and network integrated these days. from Newegg.com Pros: this card has run 90% of the games i play at max settings. WOW is almost maxed. ordering a 2nd one for crossfire. Cons: on dfi motherboards put it in pci-e slot 2, in slot 1 the graphics driver has to reset, and that does get on your nerves when your in the BG's on wow. from Newegg.com Cons: Is not stable enough to use without fear of crashing. I had one card go to a black screen during web browsing (or any other activity) very regularly. It would seem like I would get a few hours use, then at the most inconvenient time would just fail to output video anymore. The computer would still function in the background, just no video. from Newegg.com Pros: Great card. put it in my new rig and runs great. Cons: NONE Other Thoughts: without a doubt i will be buying more of these to crossfire x with from Newegg.com Wow, my First RMA! Draws a vacuum. Cons: The card doesn't deliver, no video. Installed my 7900gs and let there be video. from Newegg.com
