Visiontek Radeon HD 5850 1GB GDDR5 2XDVI HDMI Display Port DIRECTX11 PCI-E Video Card

Comment:
Bought this card to replace a GTS9600. It added over 5000 to the system's 3DMark06 score. It has good detail and the HDMI port actually worked. HAve some surround issues but this is related to the on-board audio more than the card.

this was the most amazing video card i had ever owned, for 48 hours, then it went up in smoke. thank god it didnt take my mobo out with it

Worked perfectly, had issues with sound driver crashing my original sound drivers, so unless you plan to use the audio built into this card, might be easier not to install the audio suite. Blazing fast and of course this site always has super fast shipping, will lookiong for another card to crossfire soon. Dragons age, Dirts 2, and Mass Effect 2 all run perfectly at max setting.

This card runs cool v 45 degrees idle and can handle any game in the market. Reference PCB. Wish they made their packaging better because it is all cardboard.

Ordered two of these for crossfire, and received one the next day. Other card is on backorder and I will get it as soon as its in stock I guess. The 5850 arrived with box very damaged and the card on the inside was also damaged. The black shroud was cracked and a small piece was loose. Card functioned perfectly though and I didnt mind a small piece of plastic knicked off. Plays games all settings maxed perfectly, destroys all Nvidia. Only Con is fan that the fan is a little loud, but it cools the GPU to 25C at 100% fan speed idle. Thats awesome!! Cant wait for my second one to get here!!

Ordered it at 7p.m. wednesday, got it at 2p.m. Friday using the free shipping option (Illinois to Tennessee). Great upgrade from 2 4850's. As powerful as both combined and can run 3 monitors. Powerful enough to run games at 5040x1050 with no problem at all. Most games (of course not crysis) with maxed settings (Hawx, Grid, X3, Bioshock, Stalker, etc...)
