Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
This would be great for me as I really should retire my Voodoo3 3000 from the GFs machine lol
-
Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
Stealth ninja version.. totally silent: The 7750 Ultimate (Sapphire were very generous to let us have two of these after our thread on passive cards a little while ago)
..or a 7770 Vapor X, one of the best cooling solutions from any card manufacturer.
Don't be shy soldiers, pilots... tacticians....... you wanted a new card... and now you can have one.... all you have to do is tell us WHY you deserve it and then write us a review when you've got it :)
-
Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
They dont cost as much cost really good graphic cards and it is enought for home use programs, games
-
Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
Much though I like the thought of an overclocked beastie under the hood, the extra oomph is unnecessary (and probably unnoticeable)for about 85% of everything I use my PC for. Meanwhile, my other half would most definitely appreciate the reduction in volume that passive cooling could bring, especially when I'm on the 'puter late at night.
-
Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
Desperate for some directx11 gaming, and just want something to play battlefield 3 on, and will play it well!
-
Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
I think i should get one as i feel i'd write (which i would :) ) a decent review and have two very different machines to test it in. I also wouldn't keep the card for myself (does this exclude me?), but give it to a friend who is running a 4770 so even this mid-range card would be greatly appreciated by him (and me) so we can finally play some games together we've picked up over previous Steam Sales.
-
Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
This would be a great card for my HTPC build for all my gaming and movie goodness :)
-
Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
its not as hight priced as the best products of ATI and its enought for home uses programs games
-
Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
keep the answers rolling in people.... we've got 4 cards to give away... and that's a good good chance of you winning.
-
Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
If you just look at the cards you can sense how cool they will be, and no doubt end up being pretty cool aswell! I reckon these gpu's will most likely be able to handle nearly every game at medium, maybe even some at high! They have also got direct x 11 capabilities making it better than some of its predecessors.

Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
Hi, thank you for the chance to win one good card.
I want this card cause its gonna match perfect with my pc built because i made a mistake when i bought a card and my card its low. my built has: i5 2500k , MB z68 , 1TB , 650W psu, 8gb ram and my low card GT440. so i need one good graphic card like that in competition so i can finaly play games in high resolution as i wanted when i built my pc!
thank you,
Eric :)

Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
To show my friends that are using geforce cards why they should change to AMD, especialy sapphire, who got some sick customized cards :P
-
Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
I've been eyeing up these cards extensively, as a user with a 2 year old graphics card (Sapphire HD5750) who wants an upgrade but also is limited by a low power supply wattage, these would be ideal. I currently have a 300W supply and would love to have one of these to allow me to give the oomph to gaming that I've been missing without causing a horrible short out at the same time. I'm nervous with the idea of overclocking so having a factory one is the best of both worlds. I also have loved Sapphire graphics and so an upgrade like this would be perfect, would also allow my mother to get my old card!
-
Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
I feel terrible posting in this thread as i mostly lurk nowadays!
These card would be a match for me because despite being an awesome graphics card, i would also dearly like to recycle the box by cutting out the ninja mask and using it in a series of crimes. The only thing linking the ninja crimes back to me would be this thread so nothing can go wrong.
-
Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
I think the HD 7770 would be a great upgrade for my system so that I can perform calculations on BOINC via OpenCL for various scientific and medical research laboratories. I also wouldn't mind playing a game or two when I have the time to unwind at the end of the day. It would be getting 24/7 usage. It would be a step closer to my dream of building a data computation farm. ^_^
-
Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
oh I can feel the love....
we know you've all been trawling through which card would be best for about £100.. and not quite got the money to spare...
and now.... you've got a great chance of a free card, a quiet gaming card, low power draw, and you even get a chance to pen some words for us all to read
your Reviews WILL HELP thousands of people spend the right money on the right card :)
-
Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
Again,we should thank both the Hexus team and the companies which supply the prizes,for being doing this for Hexus forum members!:)
For one scaryjim,should at least get a chance to review the HD7750 Ultimate(also win one) as this is right up his alley,being a low powered/HTPC fan.
-
Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
I think i should win because it would fit perfect in my silent htpc :)
Cheers for the competition
-
Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
Would be a perfect match for me as I am currently trying to put together new mid-priced build.
-
Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
I would like to win one because I'm stuck with an old ATI 4850 512Mb which doesn't work properly under Windows 8 and AMD don't support it any more :( . Also it is way too slow when I try to use 3D Studio Max or Cinema4D (no I don't have the money to buy these they were obtained free from the makers as I am disabled).
The card would benefit me enormously and I'd be happy to do a review for the site...
-
Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
It would be a good upgrade for my 460 :D
-
Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
I would enter, but if I won I'd probably end up forgetting to write a review, so instead I will say good luck to those that do enter :)
-
Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
As a student and a gamer its hard to get funds to get items such as this. this would be a great add-on to my setup because it will allow me to play games at a resolution i want and games that i was not able to with my old setup now i can finally enjoy gaming without lag issues. receiving this item would benefit me alot. thanks!
-
Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
I'm desperately in need of a graphics upgrade. I am currently running games off the back of my ageing i3-530 iGPU, which is putting up a valiant effort running Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3 at absolute minimum settings. Would dearly like to be able to play these games at reasonable frame rates, decent resolutions and dare I say it, high graphics settings! Not to mention being able to play other games that require a little more grunt from the graphics system.
Thanks Hexus!
-
Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
I would like to win as this would be the perfect compliment to the low-powered rig I am currently trying to build.....It's also by Sapphire, the best AMD GPU maker :)
-
Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
Always want the best for my oldest boy !! He is 9 next month ,much more brains than i have wanting to make his own games so one of these bad boys with Windows 8 will be ideal for him :)
-
Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
Small Form Factor, Gaming.. Photo Editing... you know these cards will lap it up.
All the players with old 4850's and 8800GTX's and similar..... these new cards will out gun, use less power and keep you happy.
I'D EVEN SUGGEST THE NVIDIA FAN BOYS try the slice of the other side of the cake.......
/ducks for cover
-
Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
The 7770 would be perfect for me seeing as after many years of good service my old 5870 has finally given up the ghost :(. With saving for a wedding and a house to keep the other half happy Ive no cash to replace the card so im missing out on plenty of good quality pc gaming :(.

TBH,the HD7750 is better than the GT640 for most things,anyway!! :) The HD7770 is better than the GTX550TI too.
-
Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
Many HTPCs (like mine) are in enclosed spaces in media racks, with limited airflow. These mid range cards provide an ideal balance between video enhancement and all out gaming performance without massive power/heat/noise issues. Ideal for PC gaming on your TV, and for me, an ideal upgrade from an entry level nvidia board currently in use in the living room.
-
Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
I would love to win one of these cards since i need to build my little brothers first computer, and i dont want to spend all of my money on it.
With that said i think these cards have a great balance between performance, noise and power consumption.
Really hope to win one :D
-
Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
7770 Vapor X would be great option to change my old Hd4850 :) I need a card that i will not have to bake in the oven, because the artifacts appeared:D (anyway it's a quite good option to cheap repair:D)
So to sum up I need a powerfull, stabile and cool graphic card!
-
Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
My Linux HTPC is using onboard Geforce 8300 graphics. With Steam coming to Linux soon I have the distinct feeling my HTPC is going to be needing some more graphical grunt! Only I don't want the grunt part, I want delicious silence. The 7750 is passively cooled you say?
I've got a 9800gt laying around somewhere that could go in my HTPC but it's getting on a bit now. It would be interesting to see how it holds up against newer mid range cards in terms of performance and power consumption...
-
Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
I'm a ninja, and I need an extra quiet graphics card so I can sneak around and catch all the ninja's with noisy graphics cards more stealthy.
-
Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
I i've only found this forum recently and i think it fantastic. The threads i've read have really helped me looking forward to been an active part of the community in the future. And I would love the 7770 because I need an upgrade from my new graphics card to improve my gaming quality and to upgrade my pc because I don't have the money to buy new parts. Also why I think i'd benefit from a new graphics cards because I do lot of 3d rendering and video editing and this new graphics card will help me out a lot for the future and my job
-
Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
I dont really know how I could convince that I should get a free card. I suppose I would feel awfully bad making up a sob story though I do have a few extremely bad luck stories with boards and cpus and video cards blowing up back to back and thinking it was the electric company working outside my house. I never figures it out and some of the items were replaced by RMA. It was just bad bad luck. So, if you want to hook a brotha up I wont turn a card down! LOL!
-
Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
7750 - an excellent card for creation of a silent computer
25 posts are not present - in competition I do not participate? :-(
-
Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
I would like to retire my Sapphire 5770 with a 7770 from said company. :D
-
Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
I'd like to upgrade my (just turned) 70 year old gaming dad's video card (he's got my old Radeon HD4800) without spending his pension on the hardware or the juice to power it.
Also it's a great investment, think of the scrap value of the heatsink in a few years time :)
-
Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
I should win this prize because i want to play CS:GO :(
-
Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
once you've won this card guys.... you can wax lyrical about packaging.... installation... benchmarks and/or games......coolers, noise (or lack of it).. even energy draw
just like we do.... only prolly better ;)
-
Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
I guess I have 28 days to post 19 more times then!
But give it to Terbinator, he's got all those posts and deserves to win something.
But as for me, I would want a lovely passively cooled graphics card because I have a baby and thus need my system to be quiet.
-
Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
would love either of these cards, the passive card for my better half machine which tends to get used as a media server alot, aand the 7770 would be a upgrade for my own pc which has a 460gtx atm but tends to overheat and crash mid game session and is due for replacement very soon before i throw it out the window in frustration lol
-
Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
I need one as my current stock 4850 is louder that my wife's hairdryer! (And is a bit dated now :( )
-
Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
I Think i need this card Because I Used to have a AMD Card in my Pc and dont have the budget to Purchase a 1000$ Worth PC
I used to play with the 9600Pro Family edition in the past wich really Pleased me and would like to Change My GT220 For a better card since iam the only person who cant Play Guildwars 2 and Battlefield 3 so iam falling behind
Btw Cool action giving away HD 7770 Vapor-X cards and two passively-cooled Sapphire HD 7750
Still i would preffer the HD7770 Vapor-X
-
Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
Hmmm.....
Well, i would be nice to upgrade the gx260 in my (used to be a gaming, but now sits -loudly as my 24/7 media server) rig to a quieter, more powerful, Dx11 enabled, less power consuming card. It might get me playing star craft 2 again :D
-
Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
in the process of a full upgrade on my pc so i can make my old hardware into a server any of these cards would make a great card for my pc as my current one is only an geforce 8800gtx
-
Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
Either of the 2 cards would be an awesome upgrade for my Nvidia 8400GS :) I can play MW3 on low settings but I want to play battlefield 3 and some other DirectX11 titles as well. I want to review this product as well so give me the chance. Linus(from LinusTechTips) loved my review on one of their products.

Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
my brother needs a a new graphics card he struggles to run tf2 of a (forced) 600 by 480 with explorer.exe ended, i would like to get him something as a present but with uni work piling up i have no time to get a job
-
Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
Anyone of these cards would be great for Minecraft....And I love me some Minecraft!!!!! :)
-
Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
This card would match perfect with my new system, cause i have a old GPU in there. A HD5770 :D. So this new Card would matchperfect with my FX-8150, my Corsair 16GB RAM, and my 1000w psu. Thank you for this offer.
-
Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
I think one of these cards would be great for me as i'm currently building (a bit per month) a mini itx (bitfenix prodigy) ivy bridge based system to replace my ageing i5-760!
-
Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
Frankly speaking , this cards there are considered to be High-End cards to me . I'm using a Sapphire 4850 which does not meet my needs . I can't really run games even in High, the average temperature of my card at idle is 50degrees and it produces alot of noise. I need something better which fits my DDR2 rig . With this card , my little budget computer is complete .The design of the heatsinks is fantastics and great looking , I was hoping to get one of the cards there . Thanks .

Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
my whole pc just burned .. !!!! :( buying piece by piece now ... one component for free would b awesome !!!
-
Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
Why I need this card ? Since My Friends Can Afford a High End Game PC and i cant.
i really would like to join them in the most games my pc cant handle at this moment i now got a gt220 wich causes Mayor lagg in game because of poor Preformance Like in Guildwars 2 Or Battlefield3
In the Past i used to play Call of duty on the Old Famous 9600PRO Family Edition wich brought me a Good time :)
Besides i like both of these cards Passive or Fan Cooled
-
Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
With an expanding family, I've been forced to downscale from my beloved TJ09 case into something much smaller. Unfortunately, my ageing 8800GTX won't fit and the even older X1800XT wails like a banshee.
Something small and quiet would go down a treat!
(edit I've realised I should have a better stab at entering the compo, so reposted: http://forums.hexus.net/hexus-compet...ml#post2611361. Fingers crossed that doesn't get marked down as a duplicate entry...)
-
Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
I could use one because my graphics card is so old, even Yoda told me "Upgrade your graphics card you must, mhm."...
Too bad i just joined today...
-
Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
Damn these cards really suit me a lot
Thats why I am posting to have a shot!

Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
Why?Cuz I love Sapphire , Amd und Ninjas *-*
And this will be a nice upgrade for me ,I am still here with my 5770 =)<3
-
Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
I would like to win one of these uber bad boys because my current computer is getting on a bit, due to being unemployed i have a distinct lack of money. My current radeon 4870 (a sapphire one btw and very quiet and cool - maybe a comparison benchmark, who knows ;) ) is eating up the electricity, so a new fangled lower power sapphire one (so i dont have to change the sapphire sticker on the case :p ) would help with my electricity bill.
the main reason though why i would like one, is so when i go to a Lan again next year, then i can say "suck it and eat my FPS" to the rest of the hexus.lan team.

Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
I want to win one of these cards because I can't afford one and Christmas is too far away for me to for fulfill my gaming fix :D

Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
I'd like to swap my passive HD4850 (yes really) for something that doesn't heat up the rest of my case like some kind of crazy space heater, causing the case fans to become louder than if I'd just had the fans on the graphics card!
Oh, and I'd write a good review! :clapping:

Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
These are great cards for gaming HTPC and on my list to replace my good old passive MSI 8600GT.

Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
I would really like to win the HD7770 Vapor-X so I can retire my ageing 8800GTS 512Mb in my parents machine.
It would reduce the machines power consumption considering its primary use is for my parents to log into their work machines and it would allow my father to play some DX11 simulator games he's been talking about for a while now.
I would also like to write a review of the product.
-
Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
I would upgrade my Dad's PC from the HD2600 to one of these monsters :)
-
Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
I would love to have one of these cards to play some some WOW, and SCII. I'm not a hardcore gamer, but enjoy zoning out once in a while. Not to mention that I really like the compute power over NVidia cards. I'm a hobby Blender user and in the top 5% of Folding@home contributions. It would be a huge upgrade from my GTS 250 and my Radeon 5650. A new card would be awesome.
-
Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
When I get up in the morning, I eat cornflakes, equip slippers and turn on my PC. It immediately screams OH GOD WHY as the hair-dryer 4870, complete with badly replaced fan from an old 8800 ultra grinds into life. As the tears begin to leak from the front intake, I sit down for a day's work. 3DSMax appears, shortly followed by another round of agonised shouting from PCIEX16_1.
After a while, I go for a cup of tea. Or I would, but in its vengeful wrath, the card has melted my slippers to the floor, in the process heat stripping most of the wall behind the PC and setting fire to the carpet. Handily though, it's around this point the glue holding on the bodged fan starts to melt, resulting in a horrifying grinding noise as it tries to eat an aluminium heatsink.
I pull myself out of my once-slippers, power down the PC and fire up 3D Pinball on my terrible old laptop, all the while dreaming of a cool, fast, quiet PC. A PC that won't hate me.

Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
First of all thanks for the opportunity. I am a mom of 3 gorgeous kids and most my earnings goes to my kids and i would really love to start a build. Winning this can help me jump start my build. Thank you for this chance and good luck all.
-
Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
I think one of these cards would seriously help me with my first build that I'm planning to do in the near future. Planning on an i5 3570k, ASRock z77 extreme4, 8GB of Corsair Vengeance 1600, Wd Caviar Black 1TB, and reusing my PSU and graphics card.
-
Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
I'd love a new amd 7k card as my old card has sadly died in my old machine. Thankfully it has onboard 3000 series graphics but its sadly outdated in todays gaming enviroment. Please save me from the Nvidia green machine of hell.
-
Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
I'd love to win one of these, I was secretly building a rig for my brother to have before he went off to university but my spare mid range gpu died on me recently which is a pain as it means he's got nothing but a gamecube to game on, which are still awesome but not quite DX11 awesome. Would really really appreciate one of these cards and so would my brother even more than me. I'd love to be able to surprise him with it, would at least take his mind off the loss of his pet cat.
-
Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
I've sold the first multi-core ATI card years ago and have used Nvidia ever since. My replacement laptop came with a Radeon that only has 480 cores. The Radeon 7750's have 512 cores. I'm getting great performance off it. I noticed AMD cut prices of the Radeon cards and I'm building new mods and I'm debating which cards to get. I want cards that have lower power consumption, because decent 1000+ watt power supplies aren't cheap. I also want less fan noise. I'm looking forward to see for myself the difference in performance.
-
Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
I have always wanted to try a 'hybrid' AMD/Nvidia setup, as I heard it was possible to have an AMD Gpu and still use an Nvidia card as Physx addon (with the right combo of drivers/bodges) :eek:
Having said that, my current GTX260 is rather hot and bothered - I have left the side of my case (the one that has no fan on it) off, with a 20" floor mounted fan pointed at it :surprised:
Or maybe get rid of it altogether after the 'experiment' and get another AMD of same spec; the motherboard only supports Crossfire, not SLI. Or, or, or hmm umm, have the Crossfire AND Nvidia Physx combo (if I could manage to do it without screwing the whole PC up lol)...
Anyhow, I'd be interested in benching the various permutations, especially with Phsyx games like Mirror's Edge and Batman: Arkham Asylum, running on modest, fairly old hardware (Core2 Quad)... :)

Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
I think these would be a perfect match for me as I am currently using the Sapphire HD7770 vapor-x in my system. It is a great mid range card that can play every game at decent settings. Its quiet and very very cool. I would love to be able to Xfire the HD7770 vapor-x. I have the space and the power to be able to support Xfire these cards. Sapphire has truly made one of the best, silent running, out of the box overclocked cards in the market. I love my hd7770 vapor-x and would love to give it a partner to hang out with.

Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
For less than £100 these are the cards for PSU restricted users - the 7750 currently being the best card available that is able to run off the 75W limit of the PCI-E bus directly so no additional PSU plugs - excellent! These would be ideal for my computer - used for medium level gaming, but also film-watching and "serious stuff"!
The 7770, while needing a bit of extra juice with a TDP of 80W, but with awsome preformance to match, would also sit nicely!
Cheers all!

Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
One of these cards would be perfect for me as I only have on-board graphics. It would make a big difference as I would be able to play decent games and it would take some of the strain off the cpu and free up a little ram at the same time.

Great cards for a HTPC that can still game.

Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
4 cards for the masses.... good cards, quiet, and brand new.
We love you lot.. don't we? :)

Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
Thanks a lot Hexus and Sapphire for this another chance of bagging some nice prizes. Currently, I am only running an old PC with a Sapphire HD 4650 (Seriously, that's all that I've got, it's not even 4670, it's a freakin' low profile 4650, LOL). And since my PSU failed last last month, one by one, my other hardware began to screw up, too. So right now, I'm in the long process of getting myself some new hardware to build a new rig, and being on a tight budget (Right now, I only got this new pair of RAM sticks, seriously), winning this competition would be awesome! While I'm taking time completing my next build, any of those four Sapphire cards would be a great replacement in my current rig, just in time when I can get myself a copy of MOHWF and COD BO2. :)

Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
Thanks for this chance! I think I would give one of these cards a great home. I have two cats and could use cards like this to view all the pictures I have of them in the best quality ever! Hah! That and with what I am currently running I am unable to play some of the latest games like Skyrim and would really love the chance! Let me win and I will put in a review for them and send pictures of my cute kitties cuddling with the box when they arrive! :)

Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
These cards would be awesome because I am currently helping (ha-ha mostly funding) my husband to build himself a new computer. His died a long, slow, and painful death. Since he and I are both gamers, one computer isn't sufficient in the least!

Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
I suppose any of these would be better than my Sapphire X1650 Pro card so yes I would love one of these please and thanks for the chance.

Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
The GPU in my HTPC recently gave up the run and given that its XFX, i cant see the attempt at warrenty replacement being worth it. I have always wanted to put something with a bit more juice in there anyway so the passive card would be ideal for my purposes.
The other reason i think i should be given one is after 5 or so years of entering competitions, i have never won anything so quite frankly... its my turn :p

You should win a prize just for that comment alone!! :laugh:

A Perfect match for a new PC I keep dreaming of :rolleyes:

Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
I need one of the passively-cooled Sapphire HD 7750 Ultimates because I am the last ninja on earth and I need to play games unnoticed by others.
Hey-ya!

Awww, thanks CAT :) I would indeed love a passive 7750 to add to my 3670K bundle and improve my step-son's Skyrim framerates even further, but having already won a big old bundle of stuff off Hexus I think someone else should get the love this time.
Although if the people choosing winners decide I deserve a passive 7750, who am I to argue with them :D It would indeed go beautifully with my bundle, and it means Hexus forumites would get another chance to drool at pictures of my beautiful Antec Aria ;)

It could be better,they could get a chance to look at more pictures of my battered Antec NSK4400, now with all improved with a bodged paint job! :p
I wonder how the HD7750 would compare to the APU graphics?? :p

Re: Features - Win one of four mid-range Sapphire Radeon HD graphics cards
7770 will fit nicely in the FT03-mini i have just bought from scan. ;)
