The Radeon HD4850 chipset was launched to fill a role in the middle of the graphics card market. The Sapphire Toxic Radeon HD4850 512MB graphics card stands out in this crowd of 'average' cards by offering a factory overclocked GPU and memory, as well as a cooling upgrade that keeps it cool and quiet.

This is the ATI counter-point to the 9800 GTX+: Sapphire's Toxic HD 4850. It may be alone, and it may not be more power-friendly, but it's, ahem, wickedly fast. The icing is that it doesn't really cost more than other HD 4850s--sure, it's on the high side, but it's still cheaper than a 4850 and a Zalman heatsink. The astounding thing is how closely the Toxic keeps up with an HD 4870, cards that cost close to a hundred dollars more.

Today I will be looking at one of Sapphire's latest video cards, the Radeon HD 4850 Toxic, a 512MB DDR3 factory overclocked version of the HD 4850. This card comes complete with ramsinks, the first I have had on a video card that I didn't install myself, and a Zalman heatpipe cooler. Will the HD 4850 impress me as much at the HD 3850 did? How will it fare against the cards I plan to compare it to? Read on to see!

On the face of things the Sapphire Radeon HD 4850 TOXIC looks like a pretty poor choice for those looking to grab a budget graphics card. It finds itself in the no-man's land of being a good £30 more expensive than the cheapest HD 4850 cards on the market, and only £35 less than the cheapest HD 4870, which it trails by a good few FPS in most tests. However, the cooling advantage brought by the Zalman VF900, which sells for £15 separately, (and that's before you void your warranty by fitting it), is certainly worth the price of admission, as are the performance improvements brought by Sapphire's decent pre-overclock, and the perfectly stable 700 MHz/1,200 MHz core and memory overclocks available in the ATI overdrive settings that are all made possible by the improved cooling setup. It's certainly been nice to be able to remove a Radeon HD 4850 from our test setup post-benchmark and not need oven gloves.

Back in June we were first to deliver Radeon HD 4850 benchmarks on Linux just after the new high-end ATI/AMD GPUs were launched. We were also successful in using the Radeon HD 4850 with an open-source driver and had exclusively shared that CrossFire support is coming to Linux along with a horde of other improvements. These new Linux features are coming soon, but today we are looking at a new Radeon HD 4850 graphics card from Sapphire Technology. The Sapphire Radeon HD 4850 Toxic 512MB ships with a performance-oriented Zalman cooler and it also comes factory overclocked.

Sapphire is one of the first AMD partnes to release an in-house-designed Radeon HD 4850 graphics card. Pre-overclocked and quieter than the reference model, we tell you if it's worth the cash.
