Very satisfied!

SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 4850 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card 100245L

Pros: - Very, very fast! - Incredible price - previously, this kind of performance would only come from cards $100 more expensive. - Great accessories included, everything you should need. - Very mature driver set - Superior Anti-aliasing (AA) performance over nVidia's GPUs - quiet as can be

Cons: At this time, I can't think of any!

Overall Review: Bought this to replace an nVidia 7900 GTX OC card that I was very happy with - until it died. The 4850 not only runs faster with better framerates but also allows me to really bump up the AF and AA settings without much of a performance hit. Have recommended this same exact card to 2 other friends that have just ordered them from NewEgg. Good stuff!

Pretty satisfied with this card

Pros: Overall I have been very satified with this card over the past month. Good packaging. I like the blue LED in the fan (I'm vain). Card has been rock-solid so far. Was able to OC the GPU 25% and RAM 10% with perfect stability. Would buy again.

Cons: The stock fan/heatsinks, though a pretty neon blue, are 'decent'. The GPU cooling I feel is very good, but not as much for the GDDR3 RAM chips. However even with the stock cooling I was able to OC the GPU more than I have been able to do with other 6800GTs from diff manufacturers.

Overall Review: I really like the price vs performance ratio of the 6800GTs even this late in their life cycle. It's a great upgrade path to grab one of these and then later attain a cheaper second one (used, refurbed, from a friend who upgraded, etc) and SLI them giving performance comparable, and even superior to single high-end newer cards. For the money, this is a great bet.
