SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 7850 DirectX 11 100355OCL 2GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card OC Version

Pros: Excellent performance for the price, 2Gb VRAM, effective and quiet cooling for card, only one PCI-E power connector required, relatively short card (shorter than the 7870, for example). Runs very cool at idle/full load. Factory overclocked with headroom for additional O/C.

Cons: Plastic shroud on fans/heatsink somewhat flimsy, care needs to be taken during installation. Fan system vents into case (does not exhaust hot air out the back of the case through a PCI slot, for example).

Overall Review: Impressive little card. Cranks out 45-80fps in Mechwarrior Online (CryEngine 3 based) with all game settings maxed. Fans are inaudible during operation and this is one of the coolest running cards I've owned in a long time. Idles around 30°C and maxes out at 50°C during intensive gameplay/rendering. Very happy with the purchase.

Pros: It is epic it has ran everything I have thrown at it. So far the most graphical intensive game I have played is GTA IV with ICEnhancer. And it still ran well. GTA IV FPS average withought ICEnhance on ultra settings is 30-60.

Cons: The ONLY bad thing about it is a slight coil whine. It wasn't enough for me to RMA it, but some of you might not have as high of tolerance.

Overall Review: Build: Graphics card: Sappire Radeon 7850 oc CPU: i5 2500k Ram: 8gb vengeance ram MOBO asrock Z68 extreme3 gen3.

Pros: -920 MHz core clock -256 bit bus -2 GB GDDR5 -1024 Stream Processors -Crazy good performance -Idles at like 28 C in my system -Very overclockable

Cons: The automatic fan setting thinks it should always stay under 30% regardless of the temperature.

Overall Review: Without overclocking I'm able to get amazing performance out of this card. I can play Battlefield 3 and 4 in 1080p on ultra and get average frames in the upper 50's. In Skyrim I get in the 50s and 60s on ultra. It handles anything I throw at it with no issues. The amount of memory and the bus make it great for high resolutions. I can't attest to it's durability first hand, but it seems like a solid card and should last a long time. This is my first Sapphire brand card and so far they've impressed me.

Pros: I got it cheap ($75 after rebates/steam deal/sale) 2GB of Vram Can overclock to a 7950/7990 stock speeds Fans are WHISPER quiet, at 100% fan speed it was about as loud as my GTX 260 EVGA was at 50%. At 30-40% my case fans are louder than the 7850 2GB.

Cons: The powerplay feature is HORRIBLE but that is mainly AMD's fault. Doesn't come with two DVI ports (missed that part) Vram cooling COULD be a tad better but this is nit picking now :) Don't expect much help from AMD forums....they're lousy but Sapphire is very good.

Overall Review: Because of powerplay this card will CONSTANTLY underclock/overclock during gameplay, and if you play WoW or Minecraft this will cause FPS problems. Download MSI AfterBurner, enable overclocking, then overclock by just 1mhz....it will force the card to run 100% speeds and disable the power saving feature which as of 13.4 CCC is still broken. I setup two profiles, one profile I set for 150mhz/150mhz and lowered my voltage (for web browsing and videos) for power saving, my second profile is 921mhz/1250mhz so I can play Minecraft without spikes. Anyone having issues with WoW need to try this...it will make a difference. Room Temp 75F Power Saving mode temps = 30c idle Stock Speeds +1mhz mode = 33c idle 40c load

Pros: Great Cool fast plays Battlefield 3 on ultra with 100 fps max very efficiant card and very cool idleing in my system at 23C and full load even with 1050mhz overclock on core at 58C i love this card and it is well worth it

Cons: Coil whine ! it's very annoying and it is common with these cards i have it on this card and it's just annyoing but not that loud, that's the only thing i can say about this card being a bad

Pros: -Card scores a 7.9 on WEI (important to some) -Easily overclocks to over 1000MHz -Fans are not loud and obtrusive -Only requires 1 PCIE 6-pin connection

Cons: -My brother opened it before I got home. Last time I ask him to wait at my house for Purolator.

Overall Review: Overall, it's a fantastic card. Everything I've thrown at it so far has passed with flying colours. Even Furmark Burn-in test passed with no issues and an average FPS or 32. On top of that, this card idles at 24C and underload the max I got it up to in Furmark was 65C. Overall, definitely worth it.

Pros: *Very, very quiet *Easily runs dual monitors *Can handle any game on ultra, runs BF4 on ultra at 35-40fps *Drivers easily found on Sapphire's website

Cons: *Runs pretty warm under a load. Not dangerously warm, but warm. Averages around 51C under a heavy loads. *Not a flashy fan assembly, but gets the job done

Overall Review: Overall, a great card for the price. The 7850 provides plenty of power for the avid gamer, even on games that demand high performance cards. Like noted before, will run BF4 on ultra at around 35-40fps. Only downside is, it gets just a little warm under a load.

Pros: Got it for $180 after rebate with some great games about 5 months back for a new system. Paired this with an i5 3570 and I can run most games on high without good frames and temps under 65 Celsius. Easy setup, came with DVI and VGA cables (no HDMI but I had a spare.) Once overclocking this baby has reached it's limits i can pick up another and Crossfire it to last as long as I need.

Cons: Did not come with Half Life 3
