SAPPHIRE Vapor-X Radeon HD 6850 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card 100315VXL
SAPPHIRE Vapor-X Radeon HD 6850 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card 100315VXL

Pros: Great cards, they run quite cool. I can crank all of my game to max, except for the BF3 beta that is. More then fast enough and I shouldn't need to upgrade them for years.

Cons: A little on the big side, though most newer cards these days are. I almost lost a SATA port because of it. Not enough Crossfire ports for three-way.

Overall Review: I bought 2 for crossfire. They did come with everything I needed, everything that's in the pics on this site where in the box. As far as Dirt 3 goes, I got the steam code from AMD days after I submitted it. It's called Dual-link DVI, read up on it. At least do research before you buy something.

Pros: Very great mouse. The on the fly sensitivity adjustment function is great for changing between sniping and close range kits in BF2. Glides like a dream on my mouse pad. It has also raised my hand off of the mouse pad, that was a big thing for me since I have bigger then "normal" hands, though my pinky still touches the pad(muck less though). A great buy for people that have that sort of problem and gamers. Can't forget the gamers.

Cons: None really, though I'm still getting used to the feel of it. It's kind of strange since I'm coming from a ambidextrous mouse. The only other problem I've had was in Setpoint. When playing BF2 the sensitivity would always be set to max and the on-mouse buttons wouldn't work, a very simple solution is turn off game detection and it should work just fine.

Overall Review: The left and right scroll feature the mouse wheel has is nice, for BF2 I have right scroll as prone since I don't like how it's placed on my keyboard. In Firefox I have the side scroll buttons set to next and previous tab. Now I don't have to use the standard keyboard shortcuts to change tabs. :) Other then the problems with configuring program keys in Setpoint(still haven't been able to config the side button to reload page or tab in Firefox) this mouse was a great buy. I would recommend it to anyone that plays games or wants high performance, well anything. A must buy for anyone that MUST have the best mouse for what ever it is they do. (I can't say enough good things about this thing)

Pros: Great card! Runs Oblivion on very high setting with no FPS loss. Also plays BF2 with every thing as high as it can go with no problems.

Cons: Don't bother with Ati tools, I played Oblivion for 8 hours with out it with now problem. I later DLed Ati tools and after I did that my system restarted for no reason. the cooling on this card is not as bad as others have stated. In BF2 it has a tendency to "lag" or "pause" at 62% when loading a new map. That's when it's loading the geometries

Overall Review: I am, VERY glad I got this card. I went from on-board video to this and I have seen a very big difference to game play. My kills per round in BF2 have gone up. :) I plan to get another one in the future and run crossfire. Thanks Newegg. I'm hoping that will help with the BF2 loading problem/inconvenience. :)

Pros: Great sound, good mic and very easy to set-up.

Cons: The in-ling volume control could be closer to the headset, it's too far down line for my taste.

Overall Review: Works great with games like BF2 and CS. I hear more in music then I have with other headsets. A truly great buy for the price.
