Weekly Giveaway - GIGABYTE Radeon HD 5850 OC Edition video card
Re: Weekly Giveaway - GIGABYTE Radeon HD 5850 OC Edition video card
Thanks, Solid! I'm enormously excited to get the card! I was gaming quite satisfactorily with my 4850 and older games until I installed STALKER Pripyat and had to dial down some settings. It was then that I knew I needed an upgraded...but with no cash to do so :( So this one is really heaven sent! :D

Lol, your CPU cooler barely fits. If you added a little bit of duct tape, I'm sure you could make a shroud thus eliminating any air gaps from the exhaust fan.

Thanks for the comments!
Mr. Tweak gave me the DHL tracking number for the 5850 card. It's currently in the Philippines right now and will be delivered to my hands either this afternoon or tomorrow morning :D
Re: Weekly Giveaway - GIGABYTE Radeon HD 5850 OC Edition video card
Yes! The card just arrived courtesy of DHL! There was a slight glitch in the address but I was able to get in touch with DHL. Had to pay US$12 for customs fee, but who cares?!
Can't wait to try this out when I get home on Friday (I'm currently on an out-of-town trip).
