SAPPHIRE PSU ~ TONS OF ISSUES

[shell shocke]

Hello, I was going to purchase a SAPPHIRE 100314-3L Radeon HD 6850 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card that was before I went on newegg (where I was going to purchase it) and read all the reviewers they talked about how it was crashing a lot?...I don't want to crash every 10 minutes gaming, or watching videos. On a review the guy talked about how you had to unlock your RAM/CPU if someone knows what that means cause I don't then that'd be cool, also if someone believes it's necessary then can someone recommend me a similar PSU with a very low failure rate.

Sapphire as far as I know is a good brand. This card gets 68% 5 out of 5 stars on newegg reviews. If you don't like that one then the Asus card is the same price and clocked higher.

The Gigabyte card is $10 cheaper and clocked higher.

This is not a PSU, a PSU is a power supply unit. This is a GPU or graphics processing unit. You are confusing the two.

I'm not suprised, what are you talking about? a PSU or a graphic card?

Take newegg reviews with a grain of salt! Crashing for example can be related to other components like insufficient PSU (power supply).
