Cons:
Big
Pros: Performance, Low Power Requirements, Cool, Quiet Comment:
The 5850 is an amazing product for a money. It's able to run mostly everything out there with little problem. It's a little big but will still fit in an ATX case. |

Cons:
Nothing.
Pros: FastQuietCoolSEXY Comment:
Well, I knew the performance I was getting would be good, I've had more powerful setups than this card (2 HD4890's) and Sold 1 4890 and I was using a single 4890 for some time and it just wasn't QUITE fast enough but this definately hit's the sweetspot! DX11, Fast, Cool. I love it. I have it overclocked to 1000/1250 right now, which is faster than a 5870.The card idles at 32C in my Obsidian 800D SYSTEMPhenom II 955 OC'd 3.66GHz CPUG.skill 4GB 1600MHZ DDR3 RAMMSI 790FX-GD70 Motherboard Diamond HD5850 1GB GPUCorsair TX650W PSUCorsair 800D Fulltower CaseCorsair H50 Watercooler Western Digital 150GB Velociraptor |

Cons:None
Pros:Quiet, great performer, good power draw Comment:
Great card. Much quieter than I expected it to be and takes less power than I would have thought. My Earthwatts 500W PS that came with the Sonata III is fine powering this. |

Cons:-Only flaw was this card does not come with a Molex > 6pin PCI-E Adaptor. My PWS only had 1 8pin (not 6+2) and 1 6pin PC-E. Had to order one after the fact which made me wait 1 more week to use this awesome card. Make sure to add one of these to your cart for 3.99 when buying the card if needed as card needs 2X 6pin PCI-E
Pros:-DX11 Support-Free Dirt 2 Download with proof of purchase and SKU's from box-Nice to play games on FULL DETAIL/Very High with a resonable rig. Comment:
What can I say!! This card is amazing. I don't have an uber rig but can easily run all games I have tried on Full Detail / Very High at 2048X1152 4x FSAA with 4MB DDR2 800, a Phenom X4 9660 running Windows 7 and a 650W PWS. CODMW2 blew my mind. I played it on my 360 but PC looks photo realistic!!As usual fast delivery and excellent Customer Service from NCIX! Thanks for a truly great 2009 Holiday season!!

The card that NCIX delivered with my new build was not as shown on the advertisement. NCIX states, "Actual product may not be exactly as shown" in small grey letters). This is a pathetic cop-out by NCIX. How difficult is it to provide an accurate photo of the actual product sold??..in fact, there is an argument that this is false advertising and I should have my money refunded. The card I wanted was a reference design as shown, to expel heat out of the case and one that was only 9.5" long. The card supplied was 10.5 " long, with non-reference heat sink/fan combo that dumps heat inside the case. It only barely squeezes into my Antec Solo. Disappointing. However, I decided to live with the product because it's perfomance rocks...There is no bearing noise from the case, only the gentle sound of moving air. And there is no real change in noise during intensive gaming. Diamond get 5 stars, NCIX get 0 stars.Antec Solo case, Enermax 625W Modu82+ PSU, Noctua 120 & 2xNoctua 92 case fans, Asus P6X58D-E mobo, Intel i7 930 CPU, Noctua NH-C12P SE14 cooler, 3x2GB Corsair XMS3 CL8 RAM, Intel X25-M 160GB HDD, 2xWD Blue 1TB drives in Raid 0, Diamond HD5850, LG CH10LS20 Bluray DVD reader/burner, Diamond TV wonder 650, Asus Xonar DX7.
