AnandTech has posted a review of Sapphire’s Radeon HD 5850 Toxic Edition. This graphics card is the first fully customized 5850 on the market. Since it comes with an excellent cooling solution, and is overclocked by default, will this card be the best 5850 out there? Read the article to find out. From the introduction to the article:
Today Sapphire is launching a pair of Radeon HD 5850 cards: the 5850 Vapor-X and the 5850 Toxic Edition. Both of these cards use a new custom design – a custom PCB, custom chokes, and of course a custom cooler – making the set of them the first custom 5850 on the market. Both are factory overclocked, with the Vapor-X clocking in at 735MHz/1050MHz, and the Toxic at 765MHz/1125MHz, and are otherwise identical. Sapphire tells us that only the Toxic will be launching in North America, while the Vapor-X will be available elsewhere.
