Is this a "reference" 5850 video card?

At Newegg

Same one at ewiz

There are coupon codes to get it around $285 so I'm tempted to get one but there is nothing mentioned on it being a reference board or its OC capability.

Nope, non-reference. No software volt-modding.

This is a reference design. They all have the same style cooler.

If you want XFX from Superbiiz/ewiz, buy this:

In addition to the reference cooler the refrence designs also have "AMD" printed on the PCB just below the cooler. You can usually see it in the product pics. Tiger direct has a few reference 5850's that can be had for like $272 after Bing Cash Back.
