So it would seem that once again, Sapphire has presented us with yet another fantastic product. It should be mentioned of course that much of the credit really goes to ATi as unlike many of Sapphire's offerings, their Radeon HD 5850 is based entirely on...
First of all, let me remind you that all RADEON HD 5xxx cards support the new DirectX 11 API, higher-quality anisotropic filtering, triple-monitor configurations, as well as other features described in our baseline review. RADEON HD 5850 is the pared-...
Here you can see the edges of the raw performance the HD5970 offers. It's marketed as the world's fastest graphics card - a name it lives up to quite easily, and it looks like there is no competition on the horizon until at least Q1 2010. AMD's decisi...
The highest performance yet for a midrange gaming card, Twoheatpipe cooler is very effective, Silent fan, Even a small overclock gave a significant performance boost,
None that I found

Strong performance in games and benchmarks, Can throttle itself back to be rather energy efficient when full power isn't needed, Didn't get hot - even in CrossFire, Nice combination of connections out back: 2x DVI, 1x HDMI, 1x DisplayPort, ATI Eyefinity Technology - cool if you have a handful of monitors, Has the Bigbruin.com logo on the box
Not much sets the Sapphire version apart from other manufacturer's offerings, Seems to be hard to find - sold out or not listed at many popular stores, Supposed to include a Dirt2 coupon, but neither card here has one

While the 5870 is all about showcasing innovation, the Sapphire Radeon HD 5850 1GB also boasts plenty of power, with many of the same features. The clincher, though, is the price. Sub-£200 is fantastic for a card hard on the heels of a GTX 295 or HD 5...
Second-fastest DirectX 11 graphics accelerator, Consumes only 31W at idle and 157W under full load, Native HDMI 1.3b uncompressed audio and video output, Outstanding performance for ultra high-end games, Eyefinity Technology through DisplayPort and DVI...
Fan exhausts some heated air back into case, Maximum postprocessing Anti Aliasing is limited to 8x, Expensive premiumlevel product

ATI has hit a home run with the HD 5800 series as the cards are the fastest single chip solutions on the market for most applications and the full compliance with DirectX 11 allows you to have a sense of future-proofing more than any other card on the ...
