I am extremely unhappy with this product. If I had not thrown away the box (I don’t know why I did that) I would have returned it.
The problem is that I have literally not been able to play a single game without it blue-screening my computer. I have done a memory test and my RAM is fine… I just keep getting video driver failures – and I have the most up-to-date drivers.
I hope ATI updates their drivers soon. Seriously, don’t buy this product – learn from my mistake!

Bought the Sapphire card after reading reviews of past products. The problem is not with Sapphire, card runs quiet, it is with AMD/ATI.
The problem is that I reloaded and updated Stalker Clear sky, a great test game. Set settings to maximum and to use DX 10.1. The game consistantly went blank. Reset to DX 9 and had no problems.
The card does do great with Photoshop and Cyberlink video rendering. There is a vast improvement over my old 3870 card.
One other note, I purchased the card before the major price increase ($260). I would not buy the card now at the over $300 price. Get a 5770 which will give you DX 11 and not break the bank.

I upgraded from a 9800GTX and I now get double the frame rates in all my games. The card runs cool and the fan is super quiet. Setup was a breeze and the drivers are running great. It also came with a free copy of Dirt 2 which is now activated on my Steam account. This is the card to get… it’s so cheap!

Best video card out there right now. Reason I think it’s better than the 5870 because its pretty much the same card, but wayyyy cheaper. Who needs CrossFire when one of these bad boys runs Crysis maxed out @ 1600×900 AAx2 and still get about 40-60 fps.

this is an excellent card for the money. It is as good or in some cases better tan a 285 gtx. You can run it up to 1900×1200 with all the eyecandy turned up. Dirt 2 is coming out next month with direct x 11 support so then we can really see what this card can do. According to AMD they can’t make enough of these to keep up with demand of the 5800 series or the 4000 now. Glad I got one while I could!
