Quick Question about the Sapphire 7850

Just ordered it from OCUK at a nice price of £179.99 been wanting a new graphics card for ages.

However im currently running 2 monitors with DVI and i was just wondering does the package contain adaptors as i have just noticed the graphics card has only 1 x DVI output.

Thanks

Ok my 7850 just arrived and i checked in the box , but it doesnt seem to have this adaptor.

Is it missing or do i need to purchase something else ?

Ill run just the one screen for the moment.

It came with the crossfire bridge , DVI to VGA convertor , minidisplayport to HDMI and 4 pin molex to 6 pin power cable.

Ah well.
 
The minidisplay port adapter is to normal display port, I thought it was HDMI but was a little peeved to find out it wasn't!

Noticed a big improvement in performance?

I'm running a 6870 right now and thinking of buying one of those sapphire 7850s this week

Just installed the card , only can use one screen though , but fired up Diablo 3 and it seems to run a bit smoother , cant tell the FPS as the current patch is bugged.

I would say depends on what games you are playing , if ya 6870 is coping ok with them , then i dont think there is much point from a 6870 to 7850

For reference , i did a quick bench on 3dMark11 and got P5295 which is roughly i think it should be. i have a old i7-930 though
