- This is only my second ATI/AMD Video card, I've been a hard core nVidia for many years, however, the previous 5770 impressed me so much that I decided to try another and got this 5850 after reading and researching against many of the Hi-End nVidia as well as the newest AMD cards 6000 series.Honestly the 5850 will run any game on the market at the highest settings, you get all the eye-candy, as well the stability of AMD. It works great with my Asus MB - as it should, and the PhenomII 965 that running under the hood. Two Asus LED monitors set up and running at 1080, you can believe the depth of color and details.You can't go wrong with this card in my opinion,
- First of all, I received this itm from Comp USA and whoever performs the shipping and handling for them is terrible. The packaging tape was not even centered on the box properly and looks like it almost exposed the contents. No where on the shipping box was there a label for the contents being Fragile.However, ASUS saved the day and they packaged the video card quite efefxctively so that the card would not budge from where it is placed in their item box.The card itself is a really easy installation. I am a first time computer builder and, even though, I have installed graphics card previously, this one was just as easy as any other. The card itself is fairly long, I do not know the true dimensions…
