SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 4830 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card 100265L

Pros: This video card has been phenomenal and I have experienced no problems whatsoever. For those looking to get the best bang for your buck, this card uses the same GPU chipset as the 4850 (which runs at ~$140) and the 4870 (~$170-200). When overclocked, this card outperforms the 4850 and is comparable to the 4870.

Did I mention this card has tremendous overclocking potential?

Also VERY surprised to be able to run Crysis Warhead on 1680x1050 (full resolution for me) at maximum gamer settings without any lag in play. WoW runs as smooth as a baby's bottom on highest settings as well, and colors look great. ATI Catalyst software also pretty useful in helping you find maximum sustainable overclock (overdrive told me I could go to 690mhz cpu/1165 memory)

Cons: -The card itself doesn't look terribly attractive, but this really isn't a concern because it's inside the case most of the time anyway and performs extremely well.
-memory doesn't overclock as well as the the GPU (read below)
-have to wait for rebate

Overall Review: The recommended overclock settings as determined by ATI overdrive works for most games. I found that for the most intense game I have (Crysis warhead), i had to backdown the memory overclock to 965mhz to avoid artifacts ingame. Surprisingly, this did not affect my 3dmark 06 benchmarks much at all.

-Also, i recommend other GPU overclocking programs (like RT) to do your overclocking, but use the ATI overdrive to find your maximum potential (but tone down ur memory settings a bit to around 1000mhz)

Pros: Worked great, played everything i put to it on high.

Cons: As soon as i used the HDTV connection it arched and burnt out the card. Not an issue with the card in a whole just the one i got was defective.

Overall Review: I just wished it was working so i don't have to downgrade until i have it back.
