XFX 6850 Black Edition (dual fan) good idea?

[deejay500sl]

Have heard that xfx product's aren't really that good but I like the look of their 6850 and wanted to ask if I should by the XFX 6850 Black with dual fans. Out of all 6850's on the market I think the xfx one's look better but would they perform as they should.

Post anything about XFX gpu issues and warranty issues etc.

although it may "look" the business mate, id advise you swerve an XFX GPU - from what i've read the Sapphire (toxic) and Powercolor (reference) 6850's are great all-round performers, id certainly recommend looking into those before making your decision
