Sapphire Radeon HD 3650 Expert Reviews

The SAPPHIRE Vapor-X Radeon HD 4890 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 video card is one of the fastest single slot graphics cards on the market today. This versatile and powerful card has 2GB of high-performance GDDR5 memory running at 1050MHz, while the core ...

In my opinion, the Vapor X line is one of the best on the market, striking a great balance between enthusiast features (excellent and quiet cooling), bleeding edge performance, and a modest price premium

I was a little noncommittal in recommending the 4670 and I suspect that I'm pretty much in the same boat with regards to the 4650. On the one hand, these are inexpensive cards with impressiv...

It's a great value, Uses a negligible amount of power, Compact and single-slot, Good HD 4000-series video playback,

Completely eclipsed by slightly more expensive hardware, Meager overclocking, Under-quiet, Not the cheapest HD 4650,

Alright. Time for a refresh, it's almost spring, and that's the season for growing video cards. The HD 4890 is, for all intensive porpoises, a retooled HD 4870, which, in my humble opin...

Great single-GPU performance, All-around improvement, Much, much better AA performance, Overclocked with extra overclocking headroom,

Still consumes a lot of power, Prices not set in stone,

Newer and faster cards are always coming out, but for some the cost is just too great. For many the ability to play games with decent settings is well worth the money saved, than buying a brand new top of the line card. [

 One slot,  Runs cool,  Quite close to the HD 4670 at times

Issue with Far Cry 2, Cheaper cards in price range

Sapphire's HD 4650 Overclocked comes with a solid overclock out of the box. But during our own overclocking tests we saw an amazing untapped overclocking potential resulting in more than 20% real world performance increase. Even without overclocking ...

Phenomenal overclocking potential, Good price/performance ratio, Overclocked out of the box, Low power draw, DirectX 10.1 support

Very Noisy cooler, Low stock overclock, No support for CUDA/PhysX

If you are purely looking for the best bang for the buck in the ATI graphics card lineup then the HD 4650 and HD 4670 are definitely the best choice. While their 3D performance can certainly not rival high-end cards they are good for some pretty ...

Sapphire HD 3870 X2 Atomic Edition comes with pre-filled, pre-sealed and maintenance free watercooling. This allows Sapphire to ship the card with higher clocks, making the card the fastest HD 3870 X2 on the market today. As you would expect from such ...

Fastest HD 3870 X2 card available, Good additional overclocking potential, Pre-filled, maintenance free, Overclocked out of the box, HDMI+HDCP+Audio, Quad CrossFire support, Excellent accessory package, great presentation, Quiet

Slower than GeForce 9800 GX2, New ATI and NVIDIA products very soon, High price, Limited availability, No PCI-Express 2.0 support, High power draw, External cooling unit might not fit all cases

Sapphire's HD 3870 X2 Atomic is the fastest HD 3870 X2 card money can buy you today. Unfortunately the extra performance gained from the overclocks is not as big as one would expect, but still, it's the fastest X2 card. For less experienced users who ...

Hong Kong-based Sapphire has been in the industry for a while, manufacturing primarily video cards and motherboard chipsets. It's the largest supplier of ATI-based cards in the world, and was the first to release a card with an HDMI connector. ...

with every detail turned up. He or she may be thrifty or may spend a ton of money, but cards that fit this need typically costs at least $150.

Affordable, small, quiet, and power-efficient. Good video decoding features.

Not fast enough to run modern games the way they were meant to be played.

One of the better sub-$100 graphics cards, but it's still not good enough to make a cheap PC into a good gaming system. As a replacement for integrated graphics, it comes highly recommended.

There might be a recession on but there are still some great graphics bargains out there. Radeon HD 4870 1GBs are now available for about £100 and 1GB versions of AMD's flagship single-core graphics card, the HD 4890, can be picked up for less than ...

While ATIs RV770 and RV790 have undoubtedly brought them firmly back in the game, we have always been concerned about the noise and heat they produced. Not that modern high end Nvidia graphics cards are a lot better, but the argument for ripping off ...

The new ATI Radeon HD 4890 doesn't totally adhere to the 'as before, but slightly faster' graphics card blueprint - but it's certainly close.

We can't see users bothering to trade in a 4870 for the Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 4890, but it does certainly offer value for money for anyone shopping in the £200+ market. You'll have to pay in excess of £300 if you're to get something significantly ...
