It comes OC at 1000MHz right out of the box. You can easily overclock it more. 1250MHz memory clock.
It idles at 41'C and max at 63'C under full load.
It runs BF3, Metro 2033, The Witcher 2, and Crysis 2 all at Ultra levels smoothly without OC at 1080p.
It's very quiet. Can't hear it through the case (Lanboy Air).
Easy install with Catalyst 13.1 Drivers from the AMD website.
Dual screen still looks good.
It is blue and black. I like the look since it goes with my case colors, but might be something to think about for others.
I would highly recommend this card due to the ability to OC it to HD 7970 levels safely and for about $100 less. It will last for years to come.
I spent way too much time researching between the HD 7870/7950/7970 and GTX 660 ti/ 670 and found this to be the best balance between price, OC ability, and base speed.
Out of the 7950 I was deciding between this (Gigabyte AMD Radeon HD 7950) and the Sapphire Vapor Cool HD 7950. I was using an Sapphire Vapor Cool HD 6870 and loved it.
I chose this card due to the excellent reviews from lots of sights who put these cards to MAX OC and recorded their performance with different games and resolution settings and then compared it to the out of the box settings. There definitely plenty of room to OC from the base clock speeds.
I can't wait for Crysis 3 and the new generation of games to come out.
Fast free shipping from Amazon was very nice. 3 Days faster than expected.
Update 2/2/13
It runs Crysis 3 Beta smoothly at High Levels. Very High seems to be just a smidge too much with out overclocking. We'll see how the finished product turns out and if OC makes it better.
Update 2/20/13
It runs Crysis 3 Single Player on Very High Levels with very few slow downs. It looks AMAZING. Pitty the game is really not that fun. Still running great.
It's OC and stable at 1100Mhz GPU and 5.5Mhz Memory Clock. Everything still runs great. Hopefully my CPU (i7 920) will hold up. Crysis 3 put it up to 80%, when nothing before could top 65% with a lot going on.
[+] Nice Stock Performance
- The newer revisions come with the FZ1 boost bios @ 1000Mhz Core / 1250Mhz Memory. That should be enough for all games @ 1080p
[+] Quiet & Cool
- The quietest 7950 on the market
- Can't beat the temps without going water
- VRM's get a little toasty (90c BF3) with Boost BIOS, but nothing bad
Cons: Don't trust the review's of this card on the big tech websites. Gigabyte just cherry-picks the best ASIC % they have, and sends it to them. Most people can not even push 1100Mhz at stock voltage.
[+] Poor Overclocking Compare to Other Brands
- On FZ1 BIOS it is locked at 1.25v, my 66% ASIC can only go to 1075 core stable.
- Good luck with the die lottery with gigabyte.
[+] Voltage Locked
- The boost BIOS throws your volts to 1.25v, even with AB forcing constant
- Only BIOS you can downgrade to is the other boost bios F3, which has a higher (1600mV) voltage on memory for better memory clocks.
[+] vDroop is quite bad
- When overclocking, 1.25v is really 1.16 under load.
I asked to send it back with fall money back. I worked with Amazon and sent it back. Its Sep. 7th 2013 and not received my money back yet on this.
That was for the first few days. Then when I noticed slight artifacting problems with the card in some games, I attempted to reinstall drivers. That's when everything went downhill, as various horrible graphical glitches began appearing all across my screen. Starting up would yield any number of amazing and unique crashes, which would turn my screen yellow, cover parts of it in multicolor snow, cause my graphics drivers to 'stop responding' and 'recover', and even a few BSOD's - Might I add, the first BSOD's I've had the honor to experience on Windows 7.
So while the card is powerful, it's also unbelievably delicate. For whatever reason, running the computer at a tech shop seemed to go along fine, but any attempts to run at home went horribly awry. The fragility of the card is immediately apparent when I compare how my old card (ATI Radeon 4850) and this react when I open the case with the 4850 in it, it just keeps chugging along as normal. Doing the same with the 7950 instantly covered my screen in blue vertical stripes.
I cannot recommend this, honestly. Get a more robust version of the 7950 than this.
