SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 6870 100314SR Video Card with Eyefinity

Comment:
Demands two 6 pin energy connectors (included) This board is enormous. Make confident you will have room on your MB. Installation went quite smoothly, but it does take up a lot of room. I've generally had good luck with Sapphire goods, and this a single appears to be no exception.

Brilliant card!! Lots if attributes and overall performance for the money. I can run almost everything on max settings and it under no circumstances skips a beat! Very smooth efficiency! None so far! I would very advocate this card!!

Comment:
Value! Price vs overall performance is wonderful! Quickly, runs cool and handles something I can throw at it. SMOOTHLY runs BFBC2, MoH, and Starcraft 2 all on HIGH settings @ 1920x1200. None! I upgrades all the internals of my personal computer about a month ago. I had a Sapphire HD 4870 512MB and was seeking at obtaining an HD 5870 1GB but the 6800s came out proper as I was about to acquire. I'm glad I got the 6870!

nice upgrade from an 8800GT. very quiet! initial drivers ྪ.ten) had been troublesome, got a couple of black-screens and the personal computer locked up. updated to ten.12 drivers and its undertaking fine so far. just wanted to add another five-egg rating for this card.

Comment:
Bumped me from a GTS 250 getting 30 FPS on Black Ops with minimum settings to 95 FPS on highest settings.Also, the card is simply overclocked effectively into the upper 900s and has headroom for 1000+ mHz. Not sure why, but the card won't display in 1920x1080 on my monitor, which is sort of confusing me. Only reason I pulled off an Egg, and it quite nicely could have nothing at all to do with the card. Very excited for what this card will do when the drivers mature a bit. Really happy.

As the title implies, this thing is a monster. I am absolutely organizing on acquiring a second one for crossfire, but just 1 destroys most games. I am not speaking mid-high settings either, I am talking 1900x1200 resolution, SSAO, max shadows, issues that eat most graphics cards alive. I am a very picky gamer as well, and can't settle for an fps lower than about 45. The only purpose I am even planning on acquiring a second one is for the future, but just 1 is adequate for all of the games out proper now (with Perhaps the exception of Crysis, I get about 35 fps common in that game with max settings, but that game is just ridiculous. Also know that that is the ONLY game that provides this card a challenge, it's just insane.) The rest of the games I play, the fps stays primarily at 50-60. All of this is with the card at STOCK SETTINGS. It's huge, but how else would it hold all that power? I have it in a full tower and it does take up a lot of space. Absolutely not a large deal even though, due to the fact 99 out of 100 instances your graphics card is the most significant component in your rig. I have not bothered with OCing this card, as I see no cause to. This issue handles games so properly, that the overall performance obtain I would get from OCing it would be virtually unnoticeable.Also one particular last point:If you are organizing on receiving a second 1 for crossfire, MAKE Certain YOUR MOTHERBOARD HAS 2 x16 PCI Express slots or you will not get the full advantage of crossfire with two of these cards.

I've had this card for about three months now. I've thrown 3 video games at it: Fallout three, Borderlands, and Company of Hereos. All three games run at break neck speed with max settings at 1920x1080. The cooling fan never ever spins up previous its lowest setting. I'm seeking forward to getting a second 1 for CrossFire to make sure I'm ready for any newer games I buy.Due to the fact it is a reference card, it makes use of AMD's drivers with out concern. None that I can feel of. Also like this card mainly because it vents the hot air outside the situation (out the back of the card.)

Function Good....for three days >.>there is a warrenty which charges 20ish dollars for a year >.> The card died on me right after three days of use, I was only playing boarderlands on high high quality to , and boarderlands isn't even as high top quality as other gamesincredibly dissapointed with my 1st expertise with radeon cards i hope my rma will make me feel much better

Comment:
FPS has shot through the roof. WoW is my game of option and my FPS is Dal, pre four. went from the 30s at medium excellent to above 120 in some places at ultra high quality. Even in Cata no FPS worries operating WoW in DX11. SC2 looks wonderful as well. Of course this card was bought with my new rig. The card is significant so make certain you situation can manage it. Was employed with an i7 930, Gigabyte MoBo, 6GB of RAM, Coller Master PS and a 932 HAF situation.

Comment:
Good efficiency (Roughly 1.5x - 2x that of a 4870), Great price tag.Has the energy connectors on Prime (towards the side window), rather of on the back (towards the HDDs)... quite good alter from the 4870 I had None Newest drivers ྪ.12) appear to have fixed a weird multi monitor bug that could make the pc freeze.

Comment:
Had no issue installing the card functions well with my 1.0a motherboard. Presently playing StarCraft 2 on the highest settings with no troubles what so ever. The card also runs very awesome compared to other cards I have owned. None so far.. Only cause I got this card in the 1st place was the Asus 6870 is as well wide and wouldn't fit... Newegg took care of the challenge and I am extremely satisfied with the service..... Been a buyer for about 10 years and I won't be buying from anyone else....

Comment:
Design: Quite good looking card, feels solid and well built. No cheapy parts here.Very good Efficiency: High FPS in all games on ultra high settings (cod black ops, bad organization 2, and wow). Beats a GTX 460 effortlessly. About a tie with the GTX 470.Fan noise: Quiet on idle. It does get loud on complete load but what card out there doesn't Ports:Comes with two dvi ports, hdmi, and a display port. Accessories: Comes with energy connectors, crossfire bridge, and hdmi cable. Size: not a con when i get my full sized case soon.Temperature: Runs hotter than most cards - about 7 deg C hotter than a gtx card on idle. Price tag: 230 is a little as well significantly. I very suggest this card. Will definitely obtain one more one particular for xfire when the price tag goes down a bit.

Comment:
60 FPS across all my games, 100+ on all my benchmarks, drivers uncomplicated to install as usual. May just be my card especially but the fan is fairly loud even at low speeds x.xCould also just be the way its meant to be /shrug I was shocked at the size of the card, almost the exact exact same dimensions as the HD4850 I pulled out. Don't specifically like the faceplate sticker either.

Comment:
Good card, performs as expected, exceptional upgrade from my earlier card which was a GeForce GTX260. Priced a small high for the functionality you get with it. It also runs a bit hot, not in the danger zone but a bit warmer than I'd expected. I got this card and a GTX460 at the identical time, the GTX was for my mother's build, it was a tiny more affordable than this card and performed a bit lower but with a decent overclock it just about matched my overall performance and nevertheless generated much less heat.

Comment:
Runs new games on max settings. The price tag isn't too pricey. None Idles at around 48C. SCII and Battlefield two maxed lead to it to run about 53C - 57C. This is a massive card each in terms of height and length. Make confident you have area in your case esp if you want to crossfire these.

Comment:
Believe does as it says wonderful performance this is absolutely additional bang for your buck. Runs battlefield poor company two at max and nonetheless has a lot of power to run other issues. This point is substantial its roughly 9 three quarters inches lengthy, 1 and half inches tall, and 4 inches wide. If you go with coolermasters haf cases youll be fine im use a coolermaster haf 922. Dont know if this is a con or a pro but the two 6 pin energy connectors are on the sides for me its excellent it gets out of the way for the sata cables. If your going to place this point in a smaller spot it may get a little too hot and the fan will kick in making the issue run loud otherwise if you have it operating beneath normal conditions in a situation that keeps it cool it runs quiet.

Comment:
wow! fantastic card runs reliabily in win 7 and xp. had a really nice cooling technique as stock. plays crysis maxed out incredibly smoothly none considerably quicker than my old 4850. from reading tech critiques its almost certainly very best not to try to oc this as there is not also considerably headroom left. the 6850 card can be pushed a bit but this card has a wonderful cooler and is a lot quicker

Comment:
Wonderful for gaming, it is really rapid, and I have not run into any frame-rate or heat difficulties. Excellent card. None It is a significant so make sure your case can deal with it.

Comment:
Excellent efficiency and stable, comes with HDMI cable too! I submitted my rebate much more than two months, under no circumstances got it. that took the 1 egg away from the rating.

Comment:
Incredibly fantastic efficiency for the cost. Especially if you are nevertheless working with a lower resolution of 1640x1080 like myself. See DASOTAdex evaluation, as I encounter the precise exact same things. I had complications for the longest time viewing HD videos on internet websites for the longest time(and I'm fairly specific it was the drivers causing this concern, as whenever I'd clean them off my method to reinstall the problem was not present), but the most up-to-date update to ten.12 fixed this issue.

Comment:
Excellent speed if you can get it to perform long enough to benchmark. Random freezes and technique slowdowns make this card a no-go. Soon after a bit of digging on the web I see others with comparable difficulties. I gave this card each chance so succeed. Went with a much better power provide 黼W), did a clean OS install (Windows 7 64 bit), tried various sets of video drivers (each one following a clean OS install), even altered out the motherboard & CPU. Absolutely nothing appears to resolve the dilemma. Perhaps I just got a negative card but I'm thinkiing there could be a considerable driver concern. I hear new drivers are coming out soon, if I have time ahead of my RMA period runs out I'll give them a attempt, but if that doesn't pan out I'll have to RMA the card.

Comment:
runs almost everything excellent, doesn't overheat. can genuinely discover a game to test it even though see other thoughts almost everything except ccc 񡺀) says I only have 751.4 ram with the newest driver, the disk driver produced almost everything say I had two gigs video ram. Utilized dxdiag, canyourunit, and some other internet site to examine. Have no concept what the issue is. hope it is just some weird software program situation.

Comment:
Runs quiet, and doesn't use a ton of power. Adds about 20 watts to my power usage compared to on-board video. This is the first card I've purchased because 2000, so I'm a bit shocked at how much video card tech has changed for the greater. Makes use of much less power than my Elsa Gladiac from around 2000. While I was hoping to use this to run SC2 by means of wine beneath linux, it's just not happening. It runs SC2 on ultra settings at 1920x1080 with 60 fps. With Ubuntu, it can only handle low settings and gets about 30 fps. Even though this is far more a driver concern than a hardware fault, the two go hand-in-hand. AMD/ATI desires to get their linux drivers in gear. I purchased this for the apparent gaming and as an htpc. I was hoping to play SC2 below Linux, but performance was pathetic vs running it in Win7. With Boxee below linux, I can play HD motion pictures with cpu usage with this card.

Low temps and wonderful framerates. Plugged it in and turned it on and it worked perfectly, what else can you ask for? If I had to just name anything it would be the size.
