Comment:
So far this video card has been very good. It came with MW2 and with a cheaper price than the other 5850's.Performance wise, I have been playing all games at the highest settings and it performs very well.

This card is a very good deal for the price point, it also came with MW2. Which is always great to have.Runs everything at 1080p on Max settings. Sometimes there are some frame drops, but nothing substantial.

I had issues when overclocking this card where any increase in clock speed resulted in flickering on my 2nd monitor. ATI released a hotfix which fixed the problem for me. Here is the link if anybody needs it.http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/Grey-screen-and-vertical-line-corruptions.aspxI used CCC to overclocked (and it made a good improvement) but Rivatuner and GPUTool did not properly recognize the card.The load power draw is very high, I can't measure this myself but every review I read online said so. I don't game all the time so this was not a big concern for me although I do feel bad buying such an inefficent card (on principle). It still has better idle power draw then my previous 4870 so it should work out to be an improvment.The cooler is EXCELLENT. It is dead silent at idle and keeps the card very cool. Even under load it still stays relatively quiet and temps never go above 75 in my cramped P182.Finally, it came with Dirt 2 which was a pretty sweet bonus.
