5.0 out of 5 stars OUTSTANDING !, May 11, 2012

This review is from: Sapphire Radeon HD 7850 OC 2 GB DDR5 HDMI/DVI-I/Dual Mini DP PCI-Express Graphics Card 11200-01-20G (Personal Computers)
I did some extensive research regarding bang for your buck in my choices of components
for a major hardware upgrade to my old desktop machine and the Sapphire HD 7850 OC edition
seemed to warrant a closer look. I installed this card on a new Gigabyte Z68 motherboard along
with a I5 2500K CPU, Coolermaster 212+ cooler and 8Gbs of Kingston Hyper x memory. The case
was Micro ATX so I needed a card that would perform well in a small case and the Sapphire does that
and then some. It runs quieter and cooler than any ATI/AMD graphics card Ive owned, so quiet in fact
that I had to double check to see if the fans were even running. Even during game play I seldom hear
the fans running on this card and temps at idle and under full load have been 26c and 58c respectively
which I find impressive.Im getting excellent FPS on every game Ive thrown at it and I haven,t seen
this cards full potential yet. AMD Overdrive allows for even higher clock speeds and... Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Performs well, but it has some bugs., May 23, 2012
This review is from: Sapphire Radeon HD 7850 OC 2 GB DDR5 HDMI/DVI-I/Dual Mini DP PCI-Express Graphics Card 11200-01-20G (Personal Computers)
Update 20 June, 2012: The issue described below is indeed due to the idle clock speed. The RAM and GPU clock speeds are too low. When something uses hardware acceleration (so it goes from low clock speed to high) the change in frequency causes screen flickers and other issues (jerky movies, etc). They can be manually adjusted via Catalyst's configuration files, however unlike Gigabyte which have released a BIOS fix, Sapphire are yet to do so.

Another issue I experienced with this card and something that can plague other mid to high end cards is that of coil whine. It's a buzzing, whiny noise when the card is performing something under medium to high load (such as playing games). It's relatively common and nothing to really worry about, however something to keep in mind. Cards with this aren't really defective as such, however most places allow returns as the sound can get annoying depending on where you have your PC positioned.

The card did run games well though... Read more

I am satisfied with this product so far. The performance is great, BF3 on ultra runs great and I have not had any problems with other games as of yet. Easy to install and very quiet, this card is definitely worth the cost.
