Sapphire VAPOR-X HD5870 2GB GDDR5 PCIE Pro Reviews

computershopper‘s review Edit

Sapphire's Vapor-X Radeon HD 5870 is a good choice for those looking for a high-end DirectX 11 graphics card with overclock potential.

Although it certainly doesnt offer anything sensational over the standard card, the extra memory and superior cooler make this the best 5870 yet.

HEXUS‘s review Edit

The very limited headroom in the HD 5870 GPU makes most special-edition cards relatively pointless in pure performance terms. However, taking the better-than-average cooler and 2GB buffer into account, the asking price isn't extortionate. What we'd really like to see from Sapphire is an Eyefinity6 card based on the same GPU, which would maximise the card's abilities, but until then, this is the fastest 'standard' single-GPU card around...for a couple of days, at least.

Really, though, I don't see a reason to buy a 2GB HD 5870 over a standard 1GB one. For many that's not going to matter, however. Really, if you want the extra memory you're better off buying a model like this which carries with it a really nice overclock, but more importantly, a really nice cooler.

While it may sound like we have a laundry list of things we don’t like with the HD 5870 Toxic, that couldn’t be further from the truth. It offers literally everything the GTX 480 can’t: efficiency, predictable performance through every single resolution, price and excellent cooling performance. Sapphire has seriously thrown down the gauntlet against all the other companies that are planning to release these types of high-end HD 5870 cards.
