MSI Radeon HD 7850 R7850 Twin Frozr 2GD5/OC Video Card
Cons:a little behind the technology
Pros:Good, cheap, just the right standard for its price Comment:
A good cheap mid range card is all you can ask for, nothing can go wrong with this card, but I suggest you save a couple bucks more and grab a gtx 660ti |

MSI Radeon HD 7850 R7850 Twin Frozr 2GD5/OC Video Card
Cons:Nothing really. Just that it wasn't cheaper (or free), and it didn't come with the Dirt 3 promo at the time of my purchase - my fault, I couldn't wait.
Pros:So far, very pleased. Runs super quiet and cool. Straight out of the box, I'm able to play Battlefield 3 on ultra settings without a hitch at 45-60fps at 720p on my HDTV - sorry, no fancy gaming monitor(s). At the hottest after about 3 hours of play, it didn't reach more than 51C.I got exactly what I expected from a card in this tier. Comment:
Get the newest Catalyst from AMD.Long version:When I first popped this bad boy in (on a fresh gaming rig build), I had some issues with blue screening and random restarts. I was running Catalyst 12.3 ...then AMD said it had mislabeled that release, and put out a new 12.3 which fixed the random restarting/blue screens. But every now and then, I'd get the dreaded video lock that had to be resolved with a hard reboot (no recovery) - happened a few times when launching a game, and once when loading a video in MPC. Saw there was a 12.4 release, grabbed that, and haven't had a single issue since.Bottom line, if you need something better and have the cash, then grab a 7950 or better. For those of you that know what to expect from this, there's no reason to be disappointed. Just make sure your Catalyst is as current as possible (12.4 at the time of this review), your PSU has enough juice to power all your parts, and that you take proper care and pre-cautions when installing your hard |
I had built a pc from scratch and since day 1 had various problems with it. I found out this card was the cause of most of my blue screens and various other crashes. Horrible cooler. It was running at a hot ~77C when gaming and was extraordinarily loud. If the fans make it past 50%, they become unbearably loud. The card was toast after just a few months and so I RMA'd it to MSI. However the new card they sent me crashed and burned just the same. Completely unreliable. I'm staying away from MSI now. I bought a new Gigabyte HD 7950 card last month and couldn't be happier. It runs MUCH cooler and faster.
