2 of those are the Radeons with the aftermarket-style fan, it may be an original Sapphire but it doesn't have the glorious turbine fan. The other one has a turbine, but it's more like an ancient 8800 GTX-style, I think Dell computers that came with 5850s would have received a card like that. Certainly not reference.   Which one would you rather have? Show me a reference 5850 for $100 on eBay. |

I had one of those 5850s, and mined with no issues. It's def not a reference board, but I liked the blower style coolers. I believe mine was out of an Acer or a Gateway, I never could tell... |

It didn't OC all that well, IIRC, but I ran them undervolted, so no issues. |
