Pros: I wanted to post an update 4 months after I first purchsaed this card. I just picked up FarCry 2 and the game looks amazing. With this card I have FC2 running at max settings and DX10 @ 1680x1050. Smooth like butter...
Cons: none, since the new ATI hotfix gave us fan speed control in the CCC
Other Thoughts: e2180 o/c 3.0GHz, 2GB 800MHz DDR2, 250GB Seagate ES.2, ATI Radeon 4850.

Rating: 3/5Ok on ccc8.7
Pros: 256 bit interface and plays all games at high or highest settings. Installed with ccc 8.7 easy enough.
Cons: After CCC 8.7 i havent been able to get CCC 8.8 thru 8.10 to install. Have done 9 full reformatts and installs of windows and still wont install. Sapphire said 1 card was bad that was why then they said they thought my motherboard bios needed updated. I have updated the bios to the newest aviable and still i get bsod on ccc 8.10 and on 8.8 and 8.9 visya disables my vga drivers as incompatiale with vista. Games crash on 8.7 after 30 minutes to an hour.
Other Thoughts: Will have to call newegg and RMA both cards thank heaven i didnt get rebate or i would be dealing with sapphire itself. This way i know that newegg will take care of it in a timely manner and wont give me the headaches id probably get from sapphire.

Rating: 5/5Love it
Pros: Put a S1 on this bad boy and it will run very cool 39c at idle and high 40's during gaming to low low 50's under street test
Overclock well
Cons: I get a hardware error from ati if i have it clocked to high during gaming, might be my buggy gigabyte board
Other Thoughts: Hardware error pops up during gaming and has crashed my system, might be something else tho I have the newest drivers. Card is fast and LOVE THE S1 cooler

Rating: 5/5800 Stream Processors
Pros: Single slot. Really fast. Crushes my former X1900 crossfire and uses only 1 slot. When these guys get down below $150 again, I might just get another! Rock on AMD/ATI. Doesn't seem any hotter than those X1900's. Oh, Very Quiet too!
Cons: Made me go out and buy a 24" Widescreen Display so I can take advantage of the insane resolutions this thing knocks out!
Other Thoughts: Hah, now I am considering a blu-ray drive too.

Rating: 5/5Good Value
Pros: Handles everything nicely, scores over 30FPS average on Call of Jaurez DX10 benchmark at 1680x1050. This is a full 10FPS faster than my old board, a HD2900XT.
Cons: 1st board was DOA, but thanks to newegg's RMA process, 2nd board received was fine.
Other Thoughts: Great single slot solution.

Pros: Great bang for the buck. I've added a Accelero S2 and now I am running the 4850 passively at lower temps than stock.
Cons: The company that Sapphire uses to process their rebates do not seem reliable.

Rating: 5/5ATI is back!
Pros: Best card you can get for the price!
Cons: ...
Other Thoughts: If you are unhappy with the temperature, there's a very easy tweak to ATI catalyst profiles that enables manual fan speed control. Increasing the fan speed dropped my temps to about 60C. Just google and it should be easy to find.

Rating: 5/5AWESOME CARD
Pros: This card is awesome, runs everything in full detail smooth with my system. Crysis ran perfect but I have not tried it at full resolution yet.
Cons: zero
Other Thoughts: With all the fans in my system the card doesn't get too hot, this is the only concern I had, but as of now its not a problem.
