Sapphire Radeon HD 5870 Vapor-X 1GB Reviews

  "In summary, there's a long future ahead for the entire Radeon HD 5000 series; especially with the HD5870 and Sapphire's Vapor-X design. DirectX 11 is the future of gaming, whether the competition likes it or not, and ATI has a huge head-start on absorbing an early market share. Eyefinity is a nice touch and it certainly adds to the gaming experience, but there's such an incredibly small portion of potential users for the technology that in reality the Radeon 5800 series has only its shear graphics power to make the sales pitch. I give my recommendation for the Sapphire Radeon HD 5870 Vapor-X DirectX 11 video card 100281VXSR for high-performance gamers interested in unparalleled frame rates, and multi-monitor power users wanting triple-panel diversity."

  "Without a doubt, Sapphire’s Vapor-X is the current torch bearer for a new generation of HD 5870 cards that will offer increased performance, cooling and even longevity over their reference brethren. While there may still be some nagging doubts about availability and final retailer pricing, if you are looking for a HD 5870 the Vapor-X version is the one you should be looking at. As such, it receives our Dam Good Award."

  "Sapphire's Radeon 5870 Vapor-X is a very impressive graphics card, posting some eye-watering results and sitting atop the proverbial performance heap as king of the hill, at least for the time being. There are one or two competing 5870 products that may offer higher overclocking potential (and we'll be looking at them shortly), but if you want top performance in a cool and quiet setup without any hassle or tweaking, the Sapphire Radeon 5870 Vapor-X is about as good as it gets."
