Comment: With a score of 9.5, this is a positive review. "If you are looking for the best price/performance in the sub $200 segment then the choice will be between the HD 6850 and the GTX 460 768 MB. Both cards overclock very well, the most notably difference being CUDA/PhysX support on the GTX 460 and vast

-Was looking for a video card for HTPC to drive 60" plasma, needed passthrough for bluray and support some casual fps and action games. This card is doing fine, temperature stays low; however, this does come at the cost of more noise. May have to look into aftermarket coolers in the future. (Read More)

Bought this almost two years ago and still am able to play most games at either max or very high or high settings. It is however getting to the point where it is out dated however, for a value priced card, it performs quite well. You will be able to run most new games and very good settings. (Read More)

If you are 2 Xfire 2 of these... You'll probably need 1000w psu to drive them. my 650w gold psu does not do the job in certain older games. But will buy another later. (Read More)

Bought this version because I really dislike the stock cooler for the HD6XXX and HD5XXX series(rattling fan). Very quiet, even at high fan speed, and runs most games I throw at it on very high settings (DA2, BF:BC2, SC2). (Read More)

As of May 2011, I found this to best the best bang for the buck mid range card you can buy. After having one for a couple of weeks, I loved it some much that I ordered a second one to put them in Crossfire! DirectX 11 support is there and it's 1GB of DDR5, you can't go wrong with this card!

This is a great card; it can play all the latest games just fine. ATI has the best value right now. I think I'll go Nvidia next time if it's a close competition because of the better support for games (HD series has problems with Crysis 2, etc.) This card performs very good with CrossFire also.
