XFX Radeon HD 5850 1GB GDDR5 Review

Fri 2009-10-09 - Posted by Patrick "MACMAC" MacMillan

Hardware Canucks have posted a review of the XFX Radeon HD 5850 1GB GDDR5 graphics cards, which is a brand new, mainstream (but very high performance) DirectX11 model.

Here's what they had to say:

"Questions aside, if you are in the market for a new graphics card the HD 5850 represents an extremely good value for your hard earned money. XFX just adds to that by including two things that are unique among ATI’s board partners: a Double Lifetime warranty and excellent customer support. Value, performance, DX11 capabilities and a lifetime warranty; we really couldn’t ask anything more of a graphics card. As such, the XFX Radeon HD 5850 1GB receives our Dam Good Value Award."

If you have $260USD to spend on a graphics card, there's really no reason to consider anything but a Radeon HD 5850 (unless you fold, of course). And among the current Radeon AIB's, none is better than XFX, period.
