VisionTek Radeon HD 4850 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card 900241

Pros: This is a great card. Anyone looking for a good mid range performer should look no further.

Cons: Runs hot, but who cares? Comes with a lifetime warranty from Visiontek. If it's designed to withstand higher temps (which it is) you should have no worries as long as your case has sufficient air flow.

Overall Review: Don't pass this up, but if you have the extra cash splurge and go with the 4870. AMD is back and in a big way. As usual Newegg had superb turnaround on filling my order, they never disappoint.

Pros: Awesome graphics, it's getting even cheaper, best card on it's class.

Cons: Hot! but I'm waiting for third party cooler that's compatible with this card and it's getting even cheaper!

Overall Review: I never thought I could play Crysis with a card this cheap. For some reasons, it looks better on my 22" CRT than my 22" LCD, maybe because I put it on 85hz refresh rate on my CRT that's why the graphics are smoother while my LCD can only take up to 70hz. My resolution is 1600 x 1200 on high resolution with Windows XP Pro. Set up: E8400 (stock), Gigabyte P35 board, 2 GB PC2 6400 Crucial Ballistix, Visiontek HD 4850, WD 250 GB, and 650 W Antec Trio. Newegg Rocks!!

Pros: Where to start...the performance is amazing. I upgraded from a Geforce 7950GT and sweet **** the difference is stunning. I'm playing COD4, FEAR, and UT3 with settings maxed out, and this is with what is pretty much a beta driver. The cost cannot be beat. The hard part is deciding what game I should try next. Nearly silent card. Newegg shipped lightning fast.

Cons: Runs at about 80c idle, gets upwards of 100 under load, but that's not too bad. Might end up putting a DuOrb on it and taking care of the heat. I would crossfire these bad boys if my MoBo supported it.

Overall Review: If you have anything short of a 9800GTX in your system already, get this card. The price and performance cannot be beat. Best computer hardware purchase I've made in a longggg time.

Pros: In comparison to many of the other equal leveled graphics cards, the value in this is phenomenal. Temperatures are running quite well with idle around 39C and load temperatures up to 60-65C tops.

Cons: None so far with this product. Although it is a single slot card, the fan and heat sink do cover the surrounding PCI slot. Didn't come with thin mints

Overall Review: I am running CS:S with full graphics anti-aliasing and all with soaring fps. TF2 looks absolutely gorgeous on my 24" monitor at 16:10 1200(p) resolution. Full graphics on that as well. If they get more stock of these, I'd say you should get a stock of these.

Pros: For around $200, this card sure packs a punch. 300 (yes, three-hundred) FPS in source games, and about 30 FPS in Crysis on High settings.

Cons: Hard to keep cool. Fanspeeds must be changed manually by editing code in a saved profile. Once fanspeeds are up the card is very loud.

Overall Review: But who cares if it's loud, it's not overpowering or anything, it's just notable.

Pros: Purchased this in late July. I play some online games and like to run at 1680x1050 resolution with all the bells and whistles enabled. With those max settings, my previous card was getting 15-30 FPS in Guild Wars and sometimes less than 1 FPS in a beta. This card is getting 60 FPS in GW (which is apparently a max), and 30-60 FPS in that other game.

Cons: Need to buy 2 for crossfire mode.

Overall Review: The fanspeed/temp issue is easily corrected with an override setting. Search the web for info.

Pros: ATI provides a good card to compete with the more expensive nVidia cards, for cheaper. This card runs anything I throw at it without issue.

Cons: NEEDS A FANFIX! Not really a problem to fix if you google "4850 fanfix." Runs hot otherwise. Constant 60 FPS on AA with settings maxed. Runs COD4 max settings no problem. Not enough customizable settings for tweaking games.

Overall Review: Probably going to get another for xfire down the road, but for now it's taking care of business.

Pros: This card is just simply amazing. Everything i have played on it has run smooth as butter. The drivers are much more stable then my old 8800 GTS 320MB and less laggyness on vista as well. ATI deserves a pat on the back for the work they have done on the 4850.

Cons: Heat! When you first start with this card it idles around the 70's but that is due to the drivers defaulting the fan speed to 20% if you search for 4850/4870 fan tweak you can tweak your CCC xml file to set your fan percentage higher which will then make the cooler knock the heat back down.

Overall Review: Great price, although i wish i had waited on ordering cause day after i did they started offering a rebate.
