Ordered this on 12ቭ񳏊, got it about two-three days later. Product nonetheless performs fine. See "Other thoughts" I filled out the rebate type on 12ቭ񳏊, firm mentioned they received my data on 01ቝ񳏋, and that my claim was approved on 01ቨ񳏋. A handful of weeks ago, I referred to as the organization for the very first time inquiring about the status of the rebate, with the lady saying it would take amongst 8-ten weeks for it to go via. I named them back final Friday ྤቝ񳏋) mainly because that was the ten week mark without having any sign of the rebate. The gentlemen I spoke to said that the hold-up had to do with the credit card organization that problems the rebates (In this situation, American Express), and that he would forward my concern to his supervisor. Either way, it's been practically 3 months due to the fact Sapphire authorized my claim, and still no rebate. Sapphire says that American Express is the a single holding up the process, so who knows.

I purchased this card based on bang for the buck. At 赝 this card is truly the greatest worth for your dollar. It's the 11th ranked video card for efficiency in existence, and at a actual value value. The 6870 is 10% better but at yet another 27% cost. To me this card is for the smart shopper, who is not prepared to compromise overall performance, but at the same time isn't prepared to commit a ton of further cake on marginal performance gains. Acquire it! None. It's specifically as I expected.

-cost:performance this factor is great and worth each penny-effortless to tweak and overclock. sapphire left a lot of space for you to toy about-incredibly low power consumption-after considerably overclocking this card to the brink of a program crash i was still only acquiring temps around 32C idle and 57C under full load and maxed out graphics on SC2. hold in thoughts i have however to get any after market cooling for my cpu and case. it will only stay cooler. my apartment is also about 70F too which keeps it warmer. i also kept the fan on the card manually set at 75%.-its modest. i can guarantee a mid size case could deal with it.-it is truly quiet. i pushed the fan to 100% and though it is obviously audible, it is comparatively quiet for the amount of cooling it does. for how considerably it was hyped i was a bit disappointed. i can throw SC2 at it on ultra settings and full resolution and i can play, but it isnt a framrate that permits me to actually take pleasure in a game. i would say it drops to about 16 - 25 fps even soon after getting overclocked. it isnt that it should be better, just that it was a small too talked up.i was slightly disappointed at the overall performance when set at medium settings when a graphically intensive gaming predicament comes up. it struggled to manage shadows and edges even below 8xAA ྰxAA causes a bit as well significantly of a drop in framerate for me to use it). all in all, for the value i paid this card is effectively worth the expense. the cons are a lot more simply because the hype than the card. i definitely only give five eggs to a thing that actually actually wows me although. four eggs appears fairly darn good to me.i had intended on acquiring a second one particular and crossfiring it but i made a noob mistake and bought the wrong MOBO which was not the crossfire capable a single that i meant to get. returning it was too much of a hassle so i am fine till i want to upgrade my CPU when AM3+ comes out. make sure you have a crossfire capable MOBO because for the price of each card it is so worth it. there is one thing specific about the HD6800 series. they are fantastic alone but drastically far better when in crossfire.NZXT Phantom WhiteASUS M4A87TD/USB three.Lite-On SATA CD/DVD RWAMD Phenom II X4 965 BE three.4 GHzG.Skill Ripjaws DDR3 1333MHz 8Gb ƒ x 4Gb)Sapphire Radeon HD 6850 1GbWD Caviar Black 640Gb SATA 6.

Excellent cost for purported efficiency. DOA, Catalyst Drivers and console.

Great worth, fantastic overall performance. I like the dual-slot cooler (it's the first 1 I've ever had.) Runs a lot cooler than my old HD 4000 series card. The sapphire overclocking utility is awesome. I was in a position to overclock the core to 900MHz devoid of a voltage increase. I could most likely go greater, the plan enables for enhanced core voltage, but I don't feel the need. I also utilised it to set a custom fan profile, at the moment running 1200RPM at 46C. The finest factor about this card that I've discovered is a new form of Anti-Aliasing introduced this series called Morphological AA. It basically uses DirectCompute5 to apply a PhotoShop-like filter to each and every frame soon after it is rendered. By separating itself from the rending procedure, this filter is theoretically supported by any DirectX 9ቦቧ Game, and I have had a extremely good time playing Borderlands and Episodes from Liberty City with AA (very effectively performing AA at that.) None to speak of. I haven't genuinely tested this card in any DirectX 11 titles, so I can not really comment on the architectural improvements more than the HD 5000 series. From what I've read they are a lot more of an evolutionary set of improvements rather than revolutionary. This was a single of the very best Christmas presents in a though. I'm glad I stuck with ATi (or AMD now I guess) instead of going with the other guys. I was tempted, but as soon as the HD 6000 series was announced, along with launch pricing, I knew which card I would be acquiring. Far better overall performance using less power, I'm glad I waited.I've gotten so fed up with rebates that I don't even bother anymore. Which annoys me tremendously simply because it's specifically people today like me who make these businesses funds. I lately moved from a PO Box to an address that really receives mail and I nevertheless get certainly no response from these evil corporations. Rebates are a scam; out of 20 rebates I've applied for over the final five years, I recall in fact seeing three checks. I would considerably rather Newegg or Sapphire do immediate rebates of a lesser worth than place their buyers through a process exactly where half don't even bother and out of the half that do apply, 50% never ever see a verify.

Looks good, installs incredibly quickly. ATI CCC just blows as an interface. Truly isn't providing me any better fps in WoW than earlier Vid Card, but that may possibly be a function of the old mobo bios not enabling me total access to installed memory. Tried in a new DoA mobo, so I can't update to see if the mobo was aspect of the concern for FPS.. Until I can compare with a new mobo, I'll withhold judgement. As it stands, I'm not sure that it was worth the funds

Price tag 赀 after MIR. Straightforward to Overclock and immediately after runs closer to a 6870. Low energy usage. Makes use of 1 6 pin connector. Great energy for the cost. Size fits in my antec 300 very easily a lot of room to cross fire down the road. crossfire bridge integrated None that I can feel of. Fan's a small noisy after overclocked....changed to manual fan control preserve it at 70% to maintain temps down. I've had very good luck with Sapphire cards. Upgraded from a 5670 which was a excellent card...just required additional power for the light gaming I do. Really feel like I got a excellent quantity of value for the funds I spent. Essentially got a 6870 (once overclocked) for 160 bucks (MIR) fairly sweet deal. Runs WOW at 1600x 900 on ultra settings without a hitch. I will see how well it does at greater resolutions when I upgrade my Monitor. My windows knowledge index went from 7. 񣂦) to 7.8 񣕂, overclocked). Will crossfire down the road when I require a efficiency bump which need to extend the lifespan of my system.

looks excellent when it operates purchased 2 to run in crossfire, a single was absolutely doa, the other would run for about five minutes then crash. This was in a brand new technique and my old process. I place my 4870 in and its been up and running ever given that. Getting a refund and trying some thing else.

Comment:
great value with fantastic value Poor encounter with shipping. I am not blaming the newegg, but ups spent 6 days delivering it from my local ups station to my property. This by no means occurred prior to.

-wasn't DOA-came with a DVI to D-SUB adapter-came on time-somewhat quiet (see O.T)-not genuinely extended-worked with my mobo-got it on sale for 贰 after rebate :D -didn't come with 2 a lot more so i can't trifire :( I lately produced a new pc,and i upgraded from a nvidia 8400 gs (pci,not pci-e).the very initial time i played a game on this new 6850 (need for speed shift) i literally cried.the 8400 wouldnt even begin shift,this 6850 runs it on max settings (at 1440x900 res.) at no much less than 45 fps,and no greater than 60C.now,for the fanBelow 60%,you cant hear it (or i just cant bring about of my hsf :/)Above 60%,you can hear itAt 100%,its a jet turbineBUT.you won't require it at 100%,it runs fairly frosty.

Comment:
Quiet and potent. I'm extremely content with it. I wish it blew hot air out of the back of the situation but I can live devoid of that. I don't use Eyefinity or CrossFire so I can't comment on that.

Comment:
Card operates effectively in duplicate mode. Card displays screen tearing in a 3-monitor Eyefinity group. Two monitors are DVI and 1 monitor is DP. The screen tearing happens either on both DVI monitors OR on the DP monitor. I can manage which connector type will tear by picking which connector sort I create the Eyefinity group on. For example, if I create the Eyefinity group beginning with a DVI monitor then each DVI monitors perform appropriately and the DP monitor will display screen tearing. Conversely, if I make the Eyefinity group starting with the DP monitor then the DP monitor performs appropriately and both DVI monitors will display screen tearing. I've updated the CCC to the most current beta version as effectively as tried older versions (support for the card only goes back a couple of revs). Sapphire and AMD have been supportive but haven't resolved the dilemma. My recommendation is to steer clear of mixing the monitor connection types - go with all DVI or go with all DP in multi-monitor setups.

Temp is 72C although overclocked at 850񲿘 operating in furmark. Effective and quiet. Came with vga to dvi adapter and Crossfire bridge. Games look brilliant. Mouse cursor becomes a broken image and blurry often. It's fixed immediately after a restart. Cinebench reports the red pixel differing from the reference red pixel too significantly. 10.12 Catalyst drivers. Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit.

I hadn't upgraded my video card in a while (was operating a 9800GT), and right after upgrading everything else in my method, decided a new video card would be nice. I am seriously impressed with this card - runs SC2 at the highest settings with no a glitch, and stays cool. Absolutely nothing so far. The rebate provide is a joke. You have to fill out a pita type on a internet site, print it out, fill out an additional type on paper, affix the bar code in 'the proper spot', and so on. Then if you did it proper, you'll get your rebate in 8 to ten weeks. Essentially a single of those offers exactly where they figure only 1 in 20 individuals will actually bother carrying out it.

Got this card for a genuinely good deal, I think around 170$ and with the rebate it ought to be around 155$ (although I have not sent it in). Has ran Star craft II on ultra, BFBC two Maxed I believe on x4 AA, Fallout New Vegas ultra, but I cant bear in mind what AA I place it on, ect.. Pretty much does properly with any game you throw at in thinking of that my computer is not a gaming Computer. Overclocked it to 850mhz by 1200mhz. Also purchased a 630w PSU unit and the two function just fine together. Brought my windows gaming graphics from a 6.9ǝ.9 to a 7.7ǝ.9 .. Runs a bit hot, but contemplating the truth that I overclocked it I come across it understandable. No major issues as of but. Well this is my 3rd card ever I went from an ati 3650, to an ati 4670, to my existing ati 6850.Hp pavilion A6400F seriesWindows 7 Ultimate 64 bit operating techniqueIntel Pentium E2200 Dual core @ two.20 GHZ3.00GB RAMSapphire Ati Radeon 6850 1gb GDDR5 Graphics card630w RaidMax RX-630SS PSU500gb Difficult drive capacity

I use it in my server just incase I have to hook up a monitor/TV. Excellent output for the dollar. Runs excetionally quitely and gives ample ports. Its not totally free. This isn't a 躔 or 񙇈 card so don't count on it do be, but it does everything I or a not so picky gamer would require it to do.

Comment:
Great card, runs WoW on ultra settings at 1980x1080 resolution no dilemma. also playing Rift beta events with ease below ultra settings. as a gamer and MMO fan i definatly recommend this card. no reason to invest alot of cash on those greater finish cards. none at all here's the CPU that feeds this poor boy.CPU: AMD Athlon X2 7850 Black Edition 2.8Ghz Dual CoreRAM: CORSAIR XMS2 4GB ƒ x 2GB) DDR2 800

Cards run coolLook coolCarry out incredible had some problems benchmarking but other than that, it worked fine great for a initially time develop or even a long time laptop or computer builder, great purchase for the cost

Comment:
I had a 7800gt card just before this and this issue is remarkable in comparison. It runs every thing i throw at it with no troubles. I haven't found a game that slows this issue down. It also overclocks simply with the sapphire trixx tool and this issue loves overclocking! None I can believe of. I would recommend this card to anyone especially at the value I purchased it at.

Comment:
Been operating fine for the past 3+ months. At the moment practically silent with factory defaults (no Overclock). It's noticeably faster than the ATI 4850 it replaced. Extremely hardly ever in particular games I get a weird pixelation only from a particular point of view. Altering camera angle fixes this with no game crash or restart needed. Not confident if hardware or software. Hopefully it will last longer than 1 1ǘ yrs the 4850 lasted. Runs rapid enough that I really feel no want to OC, which may shorten life of the card.

Comment:
It looked nice and was straightforward to install. The fan was quiet. Its drivers continuously crashed when attempting to do uncomplicated items like open a browser. Games didn't even start out ahead of the point crashed.

Comment:
Very nice graphics, runs each and every latest game on the highest setting, good resolution and works fantastic It says it recommends a 500w power supply but I wouldn't have one particular near that low. I had a 500w and soon after 10 minutes of playing.. it blew my power provide up, sounded like firecrackers going off in the middle of the night. Damaged my motherboard also. For that i have to take an egg off. Wish i could get reimbursed for the power supply and motherboard, but I guess I have to deal with it. Nice graphics otherwise.

Comment:
Graphics are lovely. Really easy to install. I turned on my pc and almost everything was working well. I started up SC2 and played 1game. The next factor I know I hear what sounds like a light hum. Then about five minute later I hear landowners running rampid in my laptop or computer. The fan settings were usual. I hope this is just a single mishap that no 1 else comes across. Needless to say it is going right back in the box and back to newegg.

Fantastic card, games and films appear amazing catalyst control center is a pain, NVidia's version so a lot simpler to use. i would prefer an automatic driver update comparable to what Nvidia has
