HIS Radeon HD 3850 DirectX 10.1 H385F256NP 256MB 256-Bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card

Pros: This is probably the best card out there for its $180 price tag. It runs Half-Life 2 on max, even with 6xAA and 16xAF plus V-Sync. Runs Gears of War on high setting, the Unreal Tournament 3 demo on max (even though thats not saying much), and F.E.A.R. on max settings. This card is a huge improvement over my old Radeon X700 Pro.

Cons: This huge improvement comes at a huge size. This thing a about twice as long as my X700. Its also pretty fat too. I had to remove my TV Tuner from the PCI slot next to it in oder to make it fit in my case. This probably won't be a problem for people with newer Motherboards, but I have an old HP stock computer I bought at Best Buy two years ago.

Overall Review: I haven't been able to run Crysis yet, but I'm sure it will run it on high at a decently reasonable resolution (1024*768). Also, when I installed this card that supports audio through its HDMI port, it forced audio through the card and no longer saw my integrated Realtek audio chip. It was an easy fix, I just had to boot the BIOS screen and enable force onboard audio.

Pros: For a budget card, the 3850 tears through most things and is a big step up from my 7950 GT. Overall runs pretty quiet and is supposed to be very energy efficent. Run Bioshock on high at 1680x1050 (no AA) at around 60 FPS. AA might start to push the 256 Mb, but it looks smoking and runs smooth as is.

Cons: The card didn't come with the 4 pin to 6 pin power adapter cable needed to connect it, which isn't an issue if your PSU has a 6 pin out, but I hadn't been planning to buy a new PSU on top of the card for a card that requires less power which held up my build and cost me more money.

Overall Review: The package did contain everything illustrated on the NewEgg ad, including the very handy DVI to HDMI adapter and some free game trials from Steam. Great card, just be aware if you'd need the power adapter.

Pros: This card exceeded my expectations. It is a huge improvement over my old video card. I was actually surprised how much improvement it gave me in even dx 9 games. It runs DX 10 games extremely well too. Sure other cards are somewhat faster, but they cost more, and I have an older system. The card didn't break my bank, nor did I had to upgrade my power supply, mother board, or case to use it. The card is very quiet, runs cooler than expected. Crysis is an actually playable game!

Cons: Only 256 megs of ram, so I had to scale back texture memory in Crysis. Its a trade off I can live with.

Overall Review: Never tried HIS brand products before. Came in a nice attractive box with all the cables and adapters you should need. Ultra fast shipping on the part of newegg. They never disappoint this impulse shopper!

Pros: Great graphics processor. I score 5717 in 3dmark06 with an old socket 754 3700+ and 1gb of ram. HD looks great, and games fly. Card looks great. Very energy efficient, and produces pretty low heat.

Cons: Now what could make me give this card a 3, with so many pros? I bought this card for my HTPC to replace my aging 6600gt. This new card will not see my projector. It is very frustrating when I try to watch a movie and cant get any picture.

Overall Review: Ill probably try to RMA this one, perhaps I have a bad card. I have tried other monitors, and it will see them fine, so I have a feeling its just bad drivers. In that case, if I could return it for my money back I would. My 6600gt never had these problems.

Pros: This card is just amazing Runs every game that I own at 1280x1024 with medium settings + (and with a 3800+ x2 to boot) I have the core clocked 100mhz over stock and I upped the memory speed by 250mhz it runs as stable as can be

Cons: Its DDR3, but that also comes with the pricepoint

Overall Review: This card is amazing and a must buy for people looking for performance that wont break the bank Im looking forward to when I can get 3 more of these for quad crossfire!!!!

Pros: Big upgrade from my X800 XT. Great price for a fast card

Cons: none so far

Overall Review: some people complain about the stock fan. It's just that.. a stock fan. It's nothing great, but it keeps it cool enough.

Pros: Very Powerful card. Plays all the games i want at VERY good FPS.

Cons: Does not have the ICQ3 cooler. the stock cooler SUCKS, Card gets WAY to warm for my likings

Overall Review: this card + e6550 # 2.9Ghz scored me 10k in 3dmark06

Pros: Solid performance, runs Portal with no slow downs on high graphics settings.

Cons: Not a huge amount of memory on the card, doesn't like multi sample anti-aliasing.

Overall Review: Drivers work on 64-bit OS.
