GIGABYTE GV-R585D5-1GD-B Radeon HD 5850 (Cypress Pro) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card w/ATI Eyefinity

Pros: For the price, unbelievable, blows my 8800GTX out of the water. Running games with 8x multisampling and Ultra High settings with ease, my nvidia card would lag a bit, this is as smooth as silk. Audio over HDMI with built in Audio Processor on the video card, pretty nice not having to run a wire to the SPDIF port on the Mobo. Sure you can spend more money on 5870 but with 1440 stream processors this is plenty sufficient. Size is big but same length as the 8800GTX. Very Quite for such a powerful card. Could not be happier. Make sure you have 2 video card connectors from your power supply. The Gigabyte model came with 2 molex converters if your PS doesn't have it built in.

Cons: The screw holes for an ATX case are a bit small. It could just be my Lian Li Case, but I really had trouble getting the screw in to hold the card. Really though the screw holes are a bit small on the video card, not that it affects performance.

Pros: Its a 5850. Crossfired with out a hitch with a HIS. Plugged in CCC detects crossfire enabled.

Cons: $50 more than I spent on my HIS I blame the release of the 5830

Overall Review: Still a great value one keeps up with 5870's when OC'ed Ive scored 19500 gpu on Vantage Performance with just one. You need high cpu clocks to push that score though. Crossfired my gpu score is 26500 on air not to shabby though i think i can break 27000

Pros: This card delivers excellent performance. I have enjoyed this card every moment I play Assassin's Creed 2, Counter-Strike, Need For Speed and so on and so forth. I highly recommend this card versus the nVidia 280GTX.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Newegg delivers high quality products in a timely manner. I recommend Newegg before any other eTailer... Thanks Newegg!

Pros: This card is great. So far, there is not one game I couldn't run on very high settings with 60+fps. This is replacing a 4870, and wow, what an improvement. My 4870 ran like a volcano compared to this thing. Previously, even with my fans at 50%, my 4870 ran at 40-50 degrees Celsius on load. I can run this card at 25% and barely reach 40-45 degrees on load. Anything higher and it is even cooler. Idle, forget about it. Even at minimum fan speed, it runs in the low 30's. I can't even start to hear the fan going until much farther past these speeds. It also has DX11. Right now, it's not a big deal, but some games already use it and there are many more to come.

Cons: Can't really think of one

Overall Review: Looks like the batmobile.

Pros: Upgraded from 8800GTS 640Mb. I'm able to run all my games at a playable rate 30+ FPS with all the settings maxed out. Haven't had any slow downs at all yet. Did follow suggestions from other ATI users. Downloaded only the catalyst drivers and then used ATI Tool Trays for all the settings. Played Borderlands, Mass Effect and Dragon Age. When Dragon Age gets hectic, it does drop below 30 but still playable.

Cons: Catalyst Control Center. It is the most useless program ever designed. A few times it wouldn't respond after a i changed a settings. Crashed a few times due to No response.

Overall Review: Have had a BSOD once so far (was making a dvd, browsing the internet and had another program opened) The computer went gray screen and locked up. I possibly overloaded the PSU. Only have a 500W PSU, with 3 harddrives, 1 optical and this mammoth card. I might upgrade my PSU later on down the road. Specs: Win XP w/SP3 Core 2 Duo 6600 OC'd @ 3.0Ghz 2gb DDR2 800 A-Data 500W PCPower & Cooler Silencer

Pros: This is the real deal, awesome power, awesome price. Add reasonable power consumption and heat. And that's before all of the extra features like DX11, etc.

Cons: Looks like the batmobile, no wait that's another pro!

Overall Review: For a 1920x1200 resolution, this is unbeatable. Any resolution below it and you've got insane overkill and going above this resolution you really have more money to spend on a ludicrous system. The next gen nvidia offerings better be good if they want to keep up.

Pros: Well I can going from a BFG 8800 GTS 512, which came overclocked and I OCed some more. And this thing at stock blows it away. Easy to install and the features on the software make every thing real easy.

Cons: I didn't wait and save more to get the 5870

Pros: I thought the 4890s had nice GPX, this card makes the screen very sharp, very nice.

Cons: Mine freezes up on games, running windows XP though, this card is realy designed for vista and win. 7. going to have to see if that is the problem.

Overall Review: I like this card, the fan is loud, and i hope the problem with the card crashing my computer is because i'm running XP. I hate vista. waiting for win. 7
