Pros: Plug and play crossfire in RC1 w7, worked instantly. Almost double framerate in source based games. from Newegg.com Pros: Its does what you would thinkit does and morerealy like the built in HDMI portim a hard core gamer and im impressed by this card because im using it in between builds and it blew me away with the raw power it provides for its price Cons: not realy any cons except i would suggest going with the 1gb version if you are into gaming due to the fact that 512mb is not enough for the textures of some of the newest games coming out, only one i ran into with this problem is GTA4 but in sure there will be others to come (keep in mind this was on the HIGHEST settings 4x AF) Other Thoughts: very very nice product dont know how long it will last though >_> from Newegg.com Pros: It works fine... It plays better than my old V. card which was an ASUS 3850; although the Asus sometimes would crash during video games playing. After using it for 9 days it performances beautifully. from Newegg.com Card runs very cool. 49 deg. during 14 person deathmatch at 1680 X 1050 res. Much, Much quieter than 9800gt. from Newegg.com Pros: Good price, fast, good overclock, stable and fairly quiet! Cons: None, Ive had this card over 1 year with no problems what-so-ever! Other Thoughts: I dont know why some of these guys are giving this card low marks, I have had several Sapphire cards and they have worked great for me. Besides if your product is still under warranty the Egg will usually let you send it back for a replacement. from Newegg.com Pros: -card runs pretty quiet.-pretty low temp: 35C on idle and 60C on max (running FurMark)-good performance on 1680x1020 resolution ( can run 95% games on max with no lagg... 35fps and up)-works pretty well with the latest drivers, no problems so far Cons: Scared of the company support since I've heard that sapphire staff are almost non-existent and take about 1-2 weeks to respond back. from Newegg.com Was pretty nice. Cons: Stopped working after 3 months Other Thoughts: I accidentally flipped off the switch of my power strip, shutting off my monitor and computer. I quickly turned the power back on, to find that I no longer got video. Sapphire has low prices for a reason. from Newegg.com Pros: Fast when it worked Cons: Issue with card, this card will die on you. Buy a different brand 4850!! from Newegg.com Pros: None Cons: bought the card on 8/11/09, but due to summer vacations, never got around till installing till today. Very SAD, nothing.....fan spins but no video..... NEWEGG only offers replacement for 30 days...so warning to all.......if you buy, install immediately, or you may be out of luck. from Newegg.com Other Thoughts: The is definitely an issue with this card my backup card is and Nvidia and it has worked perfectly. Other models of ati cards have also worked well in my build... Sapphire quality control is garbage... Took the heat sinc off of the 2nd card after it died and there was so much thermal paste on the card that it overflowed onto the board...what kind quality control is this...looks like first grader applied the thermal paste. from Newegg.com
