WOW! I can't believe i got this powerful of a card for $99.00 WITH free shipping too! Thank you NCIX as I was about to get a refurb 6790 for the same money at another EGGstra special competitor's site but I'm glad they sold out! I love this card seeing as it only requires 1 6 pin power supply plug and still runs everything I do at full settings. Was nervous about getting anything other than Sapphire but way to go Powercolor and AMD. It's hard for me to tell any difference between this and my 6870 and it blows my sons' GTX 460 out of the water! Will def. but it again if the 7000 series doesn't come down in price.

This card is the best bang for the buck imho. It is very fast and quiet. My games running smooth like butter. Requires only a single power adapter plug compared to my old Radeon 4870 which required two.

Snagged this a while back while it was on a great sale. It is definitely a cheap buy if you can find it for 30 or so dollars off. Recommended to anyone! Can run almost any game on high+ graphics

Bought this card about $30 less than other 6850's on the market at the time. Run's most games on high. Stable on 800Mhz overclock with temps below 70c. 36.2fps Unengine Heaven.

I can literally play anything I wants on Ultra settings! I have spent more than $1000 in Steam Games it blows through everything i through at it. It can sometimes get hot, CCC gives you a good idea of what the temps are and you can adjust the fan speeds which can be helpful. I'v had it for almost a year now at least.. Overall great price as well and great product! Thanks NCIX.

Luckily my case has a modular design, pulled the hard drive module out so the card could fit. Stuck hard drives in a static area. Card length & shroud thickness covered 2 sata connections on the motherboard. Limited now to 2 sata connectors. This is just bad luck or poor motherboard design. Ncix sells affordable 3.5" drive enclosures, so my sata storage drive can be used, via usb 2.0.
A very good value card, but many other versions of the 6850 are slightly better made and run cooler and/or quieter (mostly due to better cooling). The HIS ICEQ X Turbo is currently on sale for the same price, and at the same price is definitely superior to this one. Some Nvidia cards are about as good a value (which is better depends on which features you prefer, like better power consumption).

It has been a long time since I owned a Radeon based graphics card. I had gotten tired of the endless problems with nVidia drivers, blue screens, overheating in card after nVidia card so I decided to try Radeon again. I am not disappointed seems like this one can run at high settings with only minor hiccups. I have only had 2 blue screens since installing this card, one occurred upon first installation reboot and one shortly after. Since updating drivers no more blue screens in Windows 7 64 bit. So I am hoping this trend continues.
