Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 3850 Pro graphics card
Comments:
Sufficiently pricey to have some serious hardware but affordable enough to tempt most users, the Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 3850 Pro provides enough performance to rip through some of todays games titles.
Review Verdict: The Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 3850 Pro's gaming performance speaks for itself. While not of the calibre of the £150+ cards, this is an impressive graphics card and should be a considerable success.

REVIEWS: Sapphire Radeon HD 3850 Ultimate Edition (2nd January 2008)
Comments:
The HD 3850 offers good bang for buck as it stands. We see if this passive version from Sapphire warrants a higher cost.
Review Verdict: Sapphire has done a good job with the HD 3850 and it clearly is deserving of the Ultimate name that it carries. The overclocked offering does give it a boost in performance at some stages, and not so much at others. There's no doubt that there are a numbe

Sapphire HD 3850 1024 MB
Comments:
AMD's Radeon HD 3850 Series has been on the market for a while now. Add-in-Board Partners are constantly looking for ways to seperate themselves from the competition and that's why Sapphire has engineered a Radeon HD 3850 with 1024 MB of GDDR3 memory and
Review Verdict: Overall the combination of 5% faster core clock and 768 MB of additional memory can yield a performance improvement of about 10% when comparing Sapphire's HD 3850 1 GB to the HD 3850 with 256 MB. In my opinion this is not worth the price premium of $50. T

QuickTake:
Pros: 10% faster, Bragging rights, Nice overclocking headroom, HDMI+HDCP+Audio, Low temperatures, PCI-Express 2.0 support, Single slot design
Cons: Quadrupling memory size yields only about 10% extra performance, Worse price/performance ratio than HD 3850 256 MB, Noisy

Sapphire Radeon HD 3850
Comments:
Should you have scandalously not read last month's issue, you might be thinking, 'Uh oh, another mid-range ATI card to follow on from the unmitigated...
Review Verdict: Overclocking the Sapphire's GPU to 743MHz and the memory to 922MHz (1.84GHz effective) gave the scores an extra nudge. This overclock is preferable to dropping the AA or AF in S.T.A.L.K.E.R., as it lets you keep the eye candy and still have a playable fra

Sapphire - HD3850 AGP
Comments:
yes, you can still buy a new AGP card
Review Verdict: Sapphire should be congratulated for not forgetting a sizeable chunk of the population who still own and use AGP-based systems. If you are one of that crowd, then Sapphire's HD3850 AGP will give your system an instant performance boost when gaming.
