Sapphire Radeon HD 5870 Vapor-X Video Card Review
Sapphire has added their Vapor-X vapor chamber cooling technology to the Radeon HD 5870 series and has launched a doozy of a card today. Read on to see how this factory overclocked Radeon HD 5870 does with a superior cooling solution in place to keep the RV870 core nice and cool. You might just be surprised to see how well this card does!
From the second we saw the Sapphire Radeon HD 5870 Vapor-X graphics card we fell in love with it. The card stands out from the crowd and has a bad boy appearance to it that the reference card just doesn't have. The best part about the Sapphire Radeon HD 5870 Vapor-X is that the cooler actually works. We witnessed an 8dBA decrease in fan noise and an insane 18C drop in temperatures while gaming. The small 2-4% factory overclock gave a slight boost in performance and in every single benchmark we ran the Sapphire Radeon HD 5870 Vapor-X was faster than a stock Radeon HD 5870 video card, albeit by only 1-6FPS depending on the benchmark in question.
