Bundle and warranty





The box lists all the pertinent details, and we like the understated aesthetic of the design, for what it's worth.

Sapphire is becoming notorious for supplying the press with full-retail samples that never make it to the UK, or if they do, availability is severely compromised.

We're looking at the full-fat version here (-50R) complete with a helping salvo from CyberLink - PowerDVD 7 and DVD Suite - along with 3DMark Vantage Advanced Edition and Ruby ROM, which contains a bunch of demos to showcase the power of the card.

As it is, the bundle only misses out on a retail game.

Warranty

The Sapphire Radeon HD 4850 TOXIC EDITION 512MiB is backed up by a two-year warranty. Claims in the first year are handled by the supplier from whom the card was purchased from. Claims after this period are handled by a U.K.-based service centre.
