You get what you pay for
Pros: Was quiet and cool. Worked great with a 3 monitor Eyefinity setup. One egg for the awesome FPS/low power consumption of the 6850 chip.
Cons: Sputtering after about 2 months of moderate use. Produces artifacts/distortions and corruption of fonts in games like Brink. Shogun 2 either crashes to desktop or will jump around between monitors. OCCT GPU test will cause a hard freeze after about 10-15 seconds. Really? I know standards are slipping in the tech world but COME ON! Now I have an RMA in for this card (and they didn't make that easy on me), and now they're telling me it's going to be 3-4 weeks of turn around time plus transit time? My rig is going to be down for over a month because of this? Seriously?? I thought Sapphire was bad, PowerColor apparently doesn't stand behind their product AT ALL!
Overall Review: Go with EVGA, they actually have an excellent RMA program and really stand behind their work....
