Diamond Radeon HD 3850 512MB Ruby Edition Review

“Diamond Multimedia has done a great job with the Diamond Radeon HD 3850 512MB Ruby Edition graphics card. It is clear that the additional memory helps out in the six games and two synthetic benchmarks that we tried it out on for this review. The improved dual-slot cooling solution doesn't look good (it's down right fugly to be honest), but it does the job and dropped the load temperatures by 39% which is awesome! The only downside to this is that the card now takes up two slots, but for most desktop systems this should not be an issue. Having temperature decreases like that are rare, so kudos to Diamond for stepping up the plate and doing something about the heat!”
