Sapphire 6850 Vapor-X @ PureOverclock

Ever wondered what could be done with the HD 6850 with a really good aircooler?  How about 970Mhz on the core.

We are looking at the replacement for the original HD 5770: the Sapphire Radeon HD6850 Vapor-X. This card sports Sapphire's non-reference heatsink, black diamond chokes and 10-Phase power design, and looks to bring some robust gaming horsepower at lower temperatures with the popular Vapor-X cooler design. The HD 6850 graphics card was made for the mainstream population, with an MSRP of less than $170 and an added bonus of DiRT 3 thrown in to the mix, this looks like a very promising package for the average user.

I do really love these custom PCB video cards, they just seem like the right way to go moving forward.  Its too bad more companies don't do the same.
