This review is from: Sapphire Radeon HD3850 512MB DDR3 Dual DVI / TVO PCI-Express Graphics Card (Personal Computers)
I would have bet money that I ordered the AGP version of this card. especially at such a high mark up. But when I saw the email notifying me that it was shipped, it said PCI-E version. I absolutely had no use for a PCI-e version and emailed the seller and got no response.
The card itself is pretty good for it's age. it can run Crysis easily and will run all newer games with some decent amount of detail added.
as far as the seller, and there lacking in communications. I'm not happy about that.

This card is very good for playing most games. The fan is quiet but there is a problem with the speed of it. You need a third party program to control it to keep the card running cool. Also when idling sometimes you can hear the fan turn off on on since the fan speed will go to 0 somtimes. For the price this is a good choice.

This is one of the best value for video graphic cards out there. The HDMI connection via adopter is something that even non-gamers can appreciate. Imagine one easy connection for sound and video, instead of half a dozen color-coded but still confusing wires and you too will appreciate HDMI. For the gamers, the single slot--THIN profile makes it easy for CrossFire action, not to mention a very elegant looking machine. Plus these cards are designed to last--DirectX 10.1 ready (soon to be released by Microsoft), PCI express 2.0, etc.
