SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 4850 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card 100245HDMI

Pros: I love this card for the price... I build Custom computers in the buisness i own... I was looking for a card that was reasonably priced but hard good features!!! I bought the first one on an e-blast special for a media center build for a friend... We were both very pleasantly surprised with its performance!! It scored a 7.3 rating in windows 7 for desktop and gaming performance with out any tweaking!!! I have a ASUS DK 4870 in my gaming rig and it only scored a 7.5... I am going to order another one of these cards just to play around with it in cross fire and will write another review once i have the test results!!!

Cons: ABSOLUTELY NONE!!!

Overall Review: I wish that people would "get" what these reviews are about... it helps consumers make a "informed" decision about the products that they buy... SO having said that you should not take off eggs because YOU dont know what you are doing and have to have help... you should only take off eggs or write a negative review if there is something wrong or deficient with the product... SO PLEASE make a review of the product and not YOUR technical skills!!!!

Pros: This card was part of a Phenom II 555 budget build to play WoW and stream movies. It was overkill for that job. Made for very deep and bright colors, excellent detail. A fairly powerful card for the price when I bought it.

Cons: It never ran hot, but died anyway. I got 1 year of use out of it. Sapphire had a 2 year warranty on this card, started the process yesterday by contacting them through their website.

Overall Review: I enjoyed the card while it lasted. As not much of a gamer, I had always used onboard graphics. This card's performance opened my eyes to the error of my ways.
