Sapphire HD3850 & Two HD3850 running Crossfire Review

**MIG-31** · Mar 17, 2008, 07:15 PM

Things have changed for the better when it comes to finding a video card that will allow you play the majority of the current video games without spending a weeks paycheck. A prime example of the cards we are speaking about is the Sapphire HD3850, this card supports DirectX 10.1 which will give you a leg up on playing the newest video games to come down the pike. The 3850 also supports Shader 4.1 as well as Hardware processed 1080p video playback of Blu-ray™ and HD DVDs. The two cards we will be testing today are not the typical 512MB cards, we were lucky enough to get our hands on a pair of 1GB HD3850 cards thanks to the help of our friends at Sapphire Technology. This card is in direct competition with the NVIDIA 8800GT, but the 3850 will save you about $50.00 if you purchase the 512MB card.
