This review is from: SAPPHIRE Vapor-X Radeon HD 4850 1GB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card 100273L
Pros:
- Excellent value
- Capable for most graphics tasks
- runs cool (35C idle, 58C max with fan at 50%) the heatsink is huge and the fan is manually controllable
- low energy consumption (only one 6pin)
- silent without fan, barely noticeable at 50% which is where I run it
- small for it's performance
Cons:
The only criticism i have is the visual noise i see occasionally after playing games. My desktop is black and i get grainy noise that only show up on the desktop. in-game and apps run perfectly.
Overall Review:
Works great for Counter Strike Source, 3D graphics, Photoshop and casual MMO's. Runs CSS at highest settings no problem at 1920x1600. It also handles Maya and Photoshop flawlessly.
