SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 4850 DirectX 10.1 100258-1GHDMI 1GB 256-Bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card

Pros: I bought this card for 110 after 10% off and free shipping on Newegg a couple of months ago. So far it is getting as expected great performance. This really is a great value. With 1gb of VrAM it is possible to play gta4 on high textures and still have room to scale up view distance. If you'd play this game u know what I mean. AUDIO thru HDMI works great. It didnt work the first time, but the I restarted the CPU and worked flawless after. NOTICE* the HDMI sound does work for games and all normal computer operation. I say this because I was initially under the impression it only worked for videos(movies). Idle clocks are really low for decent power saving. 160mhz from 625mhz on core. 250mhz from 1000mhz on memory. Play 1080p no problems

Cons: This card does get a little hot- 70C under LOAD with 100% fan. I also had little luck overclocking with a 670 core up from 625. It is just to hot to OC.

Overall Review: A dual core does keep this card bottlenecked. To really let it breathe pair it with a quad.

Pros: Great upgrade from 2 x1600 crossfire. Runs Fallout 3 beautifully, Unreal 3 nicely as well. Makes my 55inch TV a beautiful gaming monitor now.

Cons: Had to find the newest HDMI audio drivers off of Sapphire's website to get that working. Not really a con but something to note if the HDMI audio does not work straight away.

Overall Review: Had some issues with the TV not wanting to use all of its screen space when I have the HDMI running, but nothing to hinder the card over. Its giving my 939 Athlon 64 X2 a longer life as it is still a respectable 2.3ghz with 2gb ram (all be it DDR)

Pros: Great video card choice for a home theater PC. HDMI Output with Audio which few other cards seem to offer Fairly Inexpensive Price/Performance/Feature sweetspot Easy of Installation, setup

Cons: Unable to set 768p resolution to take full advantage of plasma display. No native settings for 768p resolution, so I had to drop down to 720. Difficulty detecting video capabilities through HDMI receiver, but no issues at all through standard VGA cable.

Overall Review: This video card does everything I needed it to do. Play video games such as Fallout 3, and Dawn of Discovery with good frame rates. Allows my computer to interact with my home entertainment system via HDMI.

Pros: Factory overclock of 650 and 1000, smaller card then old reference design, runs 10' C. cooler then old single slot reference design. (62' C at 100% Load, Fan at 60%), integrated HDMI port, EXCELLENT value...!!! You cannot hear the fan at 60% and below. Above, it is still pretty quiet. (Idles at 42' C).

Cons: Yes, it would have been nice if the hot air were ported out the air slot at the back. There are no heat sinks on the RAM. and the main GPU fan heat sink will not allow you to put any RAM sinks on, due to lack of clearance. I may go to a Zalman VF cooler, even though the stock cooler seems to work well. The Zalman generally takes off another 10' C. under load.

Overall Review: I ran this card through 3D Mark 6, while runnning GPU-Z to monitor temps, etc. All this and 1 GB of RAM make this video card a truly great deal. No issues so far, and with the cool temps, I do not expect any. Running this to an HP w2207h Monitor with the HDMI port, (1680 X 1050) with 9.6 Catalyst, on an old Nvidia 590a Board. Upgrading to a P-45 Board soon.

Pros: I bought this card too increase my gaming capabilities as well as increase my performance score in Windows Vista. This card is everything I expected it to be and then some! Playing games at full graphics settings was something I've always wanted to be able to do and now with this card I can. Games are as smooth as can be with this card. All textures are rendered very quickly and crisply. I am so glad I bought this little baby!

Cons: I only wish that the DVI input was a little further inwards on the slot because with my current case, I cannot plug my monitor into the DVI input because the female input slot is slightly covered up by my case (I don't know if this is a card or case problem, hence the full 5 eggs). Otherwise, I love everything about this card and continue to be amazed everytime I boot up!

Pros: Got a mini-tower system that can't fit a monster video board and does not have a 1kw PSU? Get this card! A little slower than the 4870, but much beter performance/power ratio.

Cons: VGA connector on back was too high to use on my cheapie case, but a little rough sheet metal work with some pliers took care of that.

Pros: Got this to pair with my 1920x1080 monitor. Running Windows 7 - 64bit with 4 GB RAM and Phenom 9850 BE and seems to be doing well so far. Temps are much cooler than most video cards (surprising) and performs well. I got this bc I play "The Sims 3" a lot and it has too many textures for most cards so I thought 1GB would be what i'd need. Seems to work well at High settings, but you will see some hiccups now and then. Overall it is a great buy condiering how cheap it has become.

Cons: can't play SOME (<keyword) games at highest setting flawlessly; Not the best overclocker :(

Overall Review: Got it for $105 with free shipping so holla!

Pros: A good video card for the price. Works Flawlessly with Windows 7 64 bit out of the box. I run WOW on Ultra with 8x filtering and hardly ever go below 60fps even in the graphic intensive cities. Really crisp graphics on an HD monitor. The 3 different inputs are nice as well 2 of them being HD. In the near future I'll probably do a dual monitor setup off this nice card. ATI > NVIDIA

Cons: The fan is a little loud but that lets you know its putting out.
