Hi, I bought a Radeon HD 6850 off ebay a few months ago and am having trouble finding out where it came from. In gpuid it says it's made by sapphire/pctech. So what I was wondering is if it was ripped from a system and if so which one and if it is uniquely different from the other 6850's in any way. Thanks in advance!

Sapphire is one of the sellers of radeon graphics cards. They make aftermarket coolers, and then combine them with the basic PCB, and sell them to the end users. 

+1 Basically this.

Is this the real life? Or is this just fantasy?

Yeah the part number doesn't show up fully in Google search bu a very similar part number shows up as being for an Acer Aspire desktop computer. Most likely it is an OEM version of the Sapphire HD6850. I'd suggest it is from an OEM build PC be it Acer or similar, but at the end of the day its still a 6850. Enjoy it.

Thanks for the help, I`ll use it in my lanbox.

I have the feeling that its a OEM version which means its really a 5850 which may be a problem or not. It doesnt seem to be a 6000 series fan to me
