MSI Radeon HD 6850 DirectX 11 R6850-PM2D1GD5 1GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card with Eyefinity

Pros: It is a 6850 Quiet when fan is under 50%. Drivers have been stable so far. Performance is what I expected for this card.

Cons: Package wasn't shrink-wrapped. DVD was scuffed up/damaged--couldn't read from it.. Missing DVI dongle. Fan gets very loud once it hits over 80%, but that was with manually setting it that high, in games, I think the max it got was around 65%, and it is audible then, about on par with my old video card, a evga 8800. This card cost more than the MSRP. Cooling solution could have been better / quieter.

Overall Review: Seeing as the DVD was damaged, couldn't install anything from it, but I already downloaded the latest drivers. The performance (as expected) was much higher than my old card. Shipping was ... ordered on the 4th, got it at 7PM on the 9th. The thing that concerns me, is why wasn't the box shrink -wrapped, and why the missing dongle ? Was this a return ? I'll do a follow up once I have used the card for around a month.

Pros: This card runs all my games at highest settings, 1080p full hd. It looks sweet, and keeps pretty cool with stock cooling. It's a big heavy card, but they still left room so I can fit another one and xfire 'em. Price-to-performance and feature ratio is amazing, didn't expect this kind of performance out of my low budget. Eyefinity capability is something I will definately be using when I get the cash for a couple more 1080p screens ;)

Cons: Once when I was overclocking from 820 to 850, the drivers crashed. Worked fine on reboot though. No problems since.

Overall Review: This is a great card for a great price, and it'll play all the games you can throw at it. I'd quote my fps for this card on some games, but my cpu is quite underpowered compared to this card to give an accurate representation of performance. I have an i5-650 3.2Ghz Dual Core, and i'm getting 30-60fps on Battlefield Bad Company 2 (highest settings of course) but some people with more powerful cpu's are getting upwards of 150fps. Just something to think about.

Pros: It looks cool

Cons: Crashed my PC randomly while playing any game. I didn't even OC it and it was still worthless. Thank the maker that Newegg discontinued it.

Overall Review: I am hoping that Newegg provides me with a card that isn't going to provide me with another headache...and MSI used to be worth buying, but after a bad MoBo and a bad VGA, I am through with them...all hail Asus

Pros: I upgraded from a single 4850. It went flawlessly. It is quieter and my case runs 15-20 F Degrees cooler. I run Vistas SP2 and Dual core 3ghz with 4 gig ram. Core came stock at 820 Mhz and Mem at 1100. The games I play show dramtic differences. LOTRO, Starcraft 2 and Civ 5 all on max setting with AAx4 run smoothly, it is like I am playing new games. Dir X 11 is worth it IMO. Great card, exceelent Xmas present. The wife said NewEgg exceeded delivery expectations. This was an Xmas present, my wife has limited computer knowledge, she said NewEgg was a great place for her to shop.

Cons: Missing HDMI adapter that was supposed to be included.

Overall Review: I am terribly pleased. Best Xmas present I received this year by a far margin. Any LOTRO players out there, no stuttering 1920x1080 ultra settings, everything enabled 21st Hall names up, AAx4 tons of players runs silky smooth. I LOVE IT

Pros: ATI

Cons: um as soon as i logged into WoW cata i saw issues in the graphics, it looked like pieces of broken colorful glass all over the place,shows up random.

Overall Review: i got this to upgrade my dual 4850HD cards and well it doesnt work right!

Pros: It may work just fine.

Cons: No shrink wrap, "used" box has been opened, DVD jacket crumpled, looks like a return. What is going on, New Egg?

Overall Review: I paid almost $200 in a new one, not a open box used one. I'd really rather have a new one even if this works OK. Let's see how this turns out.

Pros: was SUPPOSED to be better than my nvidea 8800 Gt

Cons: Was NOT any better. I got random crashes. slow response. Yes, i updated drivers, etc..but still had problems.

Pros: Tiny! It fits in my microATX case easily without covering the SATA ports on the lower right of my motherboard. It overclocks very easily with MSI Afterburner. I have it at 850mhz/1200mhz, but it could definitely go higher if unlocked. Cooled very well and never goes above 60 Celsius even with these overclocks.

Cons: None
