Is this card more defective than rest of 5850? Recently when I'm reading forums majority of problems with 5850 is when the card is from Sapphire. I will be buying 5850 (probably this month) and ideally I would like it to be problem-free. What are you thoughts?
 
Except they sometimes mod the bios a bit and it had been known in the past for these small mods to cause issues.

The cards are all the same though so if it is a bios issue, flashing with another manufacturer's bios would prove/disprove this theory.
 
Yes, I know but it still strange that whenever I'm reading about problems with 5850 often it is Sapphire. I have always like this company (vapour-x series).
 
Probably just more people bought Sapph's than the other brands, they are one of ATi's main distributors.
