Would be awesome to replace my 6 year old power hog (loud) card, for something silent and power efficient
I'd love to win one of these cards as my main work rig is getting rather long in the tooth, increasingly I find myself offloading work to the GPU including things like encoding video with Avivo and a new GPU would make work (and pleasure for the sneaky game when it's quiet ) a lot more enjoyable.
The active card would be great inside my work machine where performance is all that matters and keeping the system cool and running at high performance is the priority over the noise it might generate, the passive card would be brilliantly suited to my HTPC where I get to use it strengths including the passive cooler which would reduce the noise inside the case (as that fan spinning can cut into quiet speech in films), I can eliminate the need for an SPDIF connection by using the sound over HDMI functionality to my AV kit and of course it would enable me to watch HDCP content
Because after not checking my watercooling loop for nearly two years it leaked, and toasted my last Radeon GPU.....
throw new ArgumentException (String, String, Exception)
Currently rocking an aging nVidia 9800GTX+ SLI setup and desperately want to get DX11 compatible cards but just can't merit the expense at the minute Got my Phenom 940 running under air at 3.6GHz and never had a CPU stutter, always been slowed down and bottlenecked by my graphics cards!
I had told my ageing 8800GS card that I was going to buy him a replacement in the form of Zak's GTX460 so that he could go to stud and enjoy a dalliance with all those 8800GT fillies............but Zak removed it from sale and broke his heart and he now knows he will have to work until he is at least 67 unless......Sapphire can mend his heart?!!
Great prizes! I wish I wish!!!
I'd love one of these for my media machine. The passive cooling would be great for the sitting rooms with plenty of oomph for some awesome bluray playback and would allow me to play PC games like GW2 on my telly! Although even with fans the Sapphire cards are amazingly quiet, my Sapphire 7870 is superb!
I'd like to win one of these so I can try the 'Red side' out again. Honestly, I've never had a good experience with Radeons (hardware failures and the like) and as a result I've never bought one since. There's a certain member here who constantly chastises my unwavering love of the 'Green side' and so it would be nice to give the Reds a chance, especially as my current card is probably on its last legs.

these cards would be great for me as it would be a major upgrade from my ati hd 3870 card that i am using now. I am disabled and I put the needs of my family first. Sapphire cards are great as the AGP nvidia card worked great in my wife`s old computer untill the mobo and cpu died. I know my kids would love to play their games with that card.
good luck and best wishes to all.
Geez, I was looking at others' system and they pretty much have decent video cards. Please, be kind to us who are less fortunate, LOL.
Good luck everyone!~
The 7750 would be a silencing machine.
The 7770 would be the end of all my dreams.
These would be perfect for the new machine I'm trying to build as a surprise for my new wife. She limps by on a 5 yr old cheapo Dell thing that was never any good even when it was new. It's got to the point where she can't really do her graphics/video editing work efficiently on it anymore, never mind the post-work game fests we used to enjoy, and I am stealthily trying to rectify this sorry state of affairs.
Being young and newly married we have no real funds to blow on a new machine and with her scrutinising the finances I'm having to clandestinely squirrel away my lunch+pub money (kid you not) each week to save the readies - a free decent GPU like the vapor X would go a long way to helping me reduce the size of the kitty I need to amass, and help give her a better machine than I'd probably be able to justify spending without a little Hexus help. I might even be able to throw the GPU budget into the CPU!
Naturally I'd write a sweet review, comparing it to my super-quiet superoverclocked edition of the gigabyte GTX460 - a good low noise vs performance benchmark against the vapor-X if ever there was one.
(And no, I don't want sympathy, but I would surely like to be able to give her one of these sweet cards in her machine hoping you can help)
I promise I wouldn't blend it if I won
Seriously though, the missus has an old hand-me-down 8800GT that the bearings are starting to die on. There would be many brownie points in a new card for her so that she can play WoW again (just can't hack it any more as the card overheats at the drop of a hat). Obviously I'd be happy to run some benchies against the old kit too
Atop of that I'd love a midrange card because I just don't like to set my sights too high

Ok, one of these GPU is for me because I would like to assemble new computer and I need one good GPU
