Sapphire's Vapor-X series of graphics cards have long been praised for their ability to deliver superb cooling with the help of an efficient cooler, and not surprisingly, the HD 6800 series isn't without such a model. We're taking a look at the company's Radeon HD 6870 1GB variant, and see if its $10 price premium is worthy.

You can read our full review of Sapphire's latest Vapor-X card and then discuss it here!

Heck yeah, cooler temps and it overclocks well. I think I might get that instead of the pre-overclocked Gigabyte model when I crossfire

The extra cooling is the reason the $10 extra won't matter. Forget the tiny little factory overclock. Very nice!

I'd much rather spend $10 for improved cooling than a pre-OC, that's for sure. It's not like the card can't be overclocked manually, heh. And that's more fun anyway (not that I care about GPU overclocking... find it a waste of time for the most part to be honest).
