With the latest catalyst driver it shows that crossfire is enabled in windows 7. Looks like I got them at the right time before the price increase. Run everything at max settings World at war looks great, and they are almost silent. Great cards I would recomend to anyone. 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful: Great improvement, quiet, power miser.    This review is from: Diamond ATI Radeon HD5850 PCIE 1024 MB GDDR5 Video Card 5850PE51G (Personal Computers) I replaced my ATI Radeon 4850HD with this 5850. Great improvement in the games I play (Battlefield 2: Bad Company, Fallout 3). I am finally able to game in full 1920x1200 resolution! The price here on Amazon was in-line with Newegg, and actually less when I factored in shipping (Prime). The entire Radeon 5000 line is priced above retail everywhere right now anyway, but Amazon was closer than most. Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit using Catalyst 10.2 would not give me a rating on the video. I updated to the beta 10.3 drivers and it scored 7.6 out of 7.9 on graphics. The 4850 was 7.3. Doesn't sound like much, but, like I said, the improvement was enough to take me from 1280x720 to 1920x1200. This was also due in part to the increase of RAM from 512MB GDDR3 on the 4850 to 1024MB GDDR5 on the 5850. Even with possible competition from Nvidia coming this year (Fermi), I am very happy with this purchase. The price is not anticipated to drop more than $30 to $50 when Fermi hits anyway. As of today, Fermi will be shipping with fewer cores than anticipated (480 vs 512), so that launch may not have any impact on the Radeon 5000 line anyway. The power draw on this is less than the 4850 as well. I have a PC Power & Cooling 750 PSU and it is plenty. So, great card, good deal. You'll love it if you get it! I am running an older Intel Quad-Core, Core 2 Duo @ 2.4GHz, with 4GB DDR2 RAM, and dual 150GB Raptors in RAID. 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful: Great card, but really big This review is from: Diamond ATI Radeon HD5850 PCIE 1024 MB GDDR5 Video Card 5850PE51G (Personal Computers) After a couple of weeks of running this on Modern Warfare 2, Battlefield Bad Company 2, Left for Dead - both, and Star Trek Online, the card has worked great. It's fast and stays cool and doesn't get too hot or noisy. I did have to get a larger power supply to handle the card, but they're cheap and easy to install. The card however does take up the size of two slots on the motherboard and I had a couple of transistors/something that stuck out and wouldn't let the card seat properly. Luckily the card's shroud had vents in that area and after snipping a few to open it up, the card finally fit. Then the tubes sticking out the side interfered with the placement of my second hard drive and it had to be moved. This was placed in a Dell Inspiron 530, a great desktop, but it's smaller form factor made it difficult to get the card in, so it wasn't the cards fault. So far I'm happy with the card! Most Recent Customer Reviews a great bolt on for your PC This Card can't be beat for the money. Runs every game I have tried at 60fps with AA cranked up at 1080p. buy this card! by In2quads Great product, annoying registration The product is great, hasn't given me any trouble yet. I haven't seen any issues with dual monitors, even when gaming on one with video in the other. by DeathBySmiley Item received does not look like pictured item. If you are buying the card based on the pictures, it's not what you get, it's a card with a cheap plastic cover. by Thomas Lee Product picture not same as product I tried to purchase this with the thought that I was going to get the reference version as pictured. When I received it to my suprise it was the non reference version. by JDMTSX DO NOT BUY THIS CARD!!! This card has a Known ISSUE with dual monitors.

Had this card for almost 1 year now and it works perfect! i play all my games on highest quality, there are a few bugs and glitchs everynow and then with the card but a nice... by James DOA after 3 months Like the title says. Bought this card and after 3 months it died. Was suspicious when it arrived and right away I noticed it made a lot of noise from the fan. by Marc Poor engineering on physical card As with most 5850s, this thing spits out plenty of pixels and consumes very little power, particularly at idle. Unfortunately, you have to put up with ATI drivers to get it. by Paul Basically DOA Video card ran for approximately 10 minutes and died. Replacement wasn't available so had to get a refund. by C. Little Excellent card Works!! If the latest drivers you download from ATI causes problems. Use the CD provided. Tested in Windows 7 64 bit and XP 32 bit. by Gopala krishnan
