5.0 out of 5 stars Great GPU, espacially for the $$ April 10, 2012

By W. Begoyan

I have only had this GPU for a few days, so cant talk about the long temr yet:

Pros:
Price, this one of the cheapest 7850s you can find (most are $260+)
Power efficient, very little idle power and 130W max TDP.
Over-sized cooler keep card cool, same cooler that keeps it's bigger brother 7870 cool.
Manufacturer is one of the biggest names in the industry
3 year full warranty (not partial warranty like MSI does)

Cons:
10inch card. The actual PCB is only 8 inches long, but since ASUS reuses the bigger cooler from the 7870, you end with an artificially long card. This also looks weird (cooler/shroud stick outside of the PCB).
Amazon pictures show the box for the "TOP" version of this card, but this just the regular version.
No display port-HDMI adapters included, so triple monitor setups will incur additional out of pocket costs.

If this card fits in your case, you don't mind the the whole "cooler is much longer the the card itself" look and dont need display port adapters, this is an excellent version of the 7850.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Nice April 22, 2012

I bought this from Amazon... Prime, no shipping charges, 249.99... This is a very powerful video card. I can fly stutter free in MSFS X. This card overclocks like a champ. I have mine at a clock speed of 1175 Mhz... There are no over heating problems and everything runs smoothly, no blue screens. The temps are under 50 degrees C, and the fans are quiet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome overclocking machine of graphics destrucity April 17, 2012

Easily overclocks just by using AMD overdrive. Fast and stable, can probably easily be overclocked by using other applications which alters the voltage. Runs both cool and quiet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Champ!!!! April 12, 2012

By J. Duriano

Amazon Verified Purchase

I was initially waiting for the MSI one to come in stock but got impatient and bought this one. Glad i did! Its a great card. The cooler on this card WORKS!!! Its super efficient. Card on full load doesn't even break 50c! And its quiet. Actually its the quietest card ive ever owned! And I upgrade every years model.- MSI 6950/Gigabyte 5870/Sapphire 4890/IceQ 3850. Also overclocks like a champ. Brought it up to 1ghz on STOCK voltage! Stable too. Mark3D 11 P6104. Heaven v3.0 got 1526. BF3 for hours and max temp @1ghz stock v1.138.= 63c! Thats a CHAMP card right there!!!! And all for $249!!!! NT & FS Thanks Amazon!!!! This is a worthy card! Only con would be if your space limited. Its a 10" card due to the cooler being 2" longer than the 8" PCB. But if you have a mid tower or bigger, then not a problem. GET IT!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Built a PC, used this video card . . . powerful. July 2, 2012

By Jason Swoboda

Built a PC recently and I went with this video card.

I do a lot of 3D renderings in design software; this video card coupled with my i5 processor does a wonderful job at pumping out renderings like no tomorrow.

For you gamers out there; it can run Witcher 2 on high settings, to give you a hint at its benchmarking.

5/5 would buy again.

Will run anything and everything if paired with the right rig. In a word, Awesome!
Running it with an Amd 8150, on a Asus Formula V board, with 16 gb of mushkin pc-2133 red ridgeback ram, Patriot Pyro SE ssd for o/s and games. Have played W.O.W. and Diablo 3 so far both with all settings maxed out and it doesn't even sweat......good card.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome value card January 8, 2013

By A. Bagley

This GPU is fantastic. The last radeon I used was a 4850 1GB, which wasn't bad at all, but this 7850 is a beast, and it barely sips power. Comparable I'd say to a GTX580 performance-wise.

Asus's DCUII is well designed. Keeps the card cool, I never heard the fans, even though they were set at about 40%. Just an overall great card for the money.
