Great card,
Set this in my new gaming rig, first PC I’d ever built. Install was a breeze. Set up was easy after boot, just get the proper drivers and everything is cake. OC’ed to 925 core/1225 memory, this thing is great. The fans are quiet if you leave them on auto, which I didn’t. My card was running around 50C plus or minus 5 degrees in Diablo 3 with max settings, LoL with max settings, and DayZ with normal settings. That’s pretty cool. It handled all these games at around 50% GPU usage. I set my own custom fan profile with MSI’s Afterburner software, which allowed me to overclock the card as well. As I mentioned, if you leave the fan on auto, its a pretty quiet card. However, when the fans start spinning at around 50%, it starts to make a bit more noise. Personally I don’t mind the noise and would prefer a bit of extra cooling, so I over-tune my fans to spin faster than needed. With a solid headset you won’t hear the fan over whatever you’re doing, so the sound isn’t a huge deal.
All in all a great card. Seems to handle everything I throw at it very well.

Radeon 7850,
Absolutely love this card. The price to performance ratio is unbeatable currently. I popped it in and installed the drivers and instantly had a hundred times better gaming experience. I would recommend this card to anyone in this price range any day for standalone. Honestly could not be happier with my experience.

Good card.,
I play a lot of games but I only play them at 1600×900 (but I still like to max the settings), so I didn’t need the top end 7900 series.
Plays everything I need at completely max settings. (Witcher 2, Arkham City, Max Payne 3, Skyrim)
This one is still very strong while also using noticeably less power than previous gen cards. It’s nice that it only needs 1 PCI connector whereas similarly performing cards such as 6950 or 560 ti from previous line ups use 2.
Should last a while, and I’ve tried out it’s overclocking and it’s pretty good at that. I just keep it at stock for now though, and will just oc it later when I actually need it.
Temps are low 30’s when idle, mid 50’s when stressed; haven’t seen it go above 60 yet.
Paired with 3570k and an Asrock Z77 Extreme4; it’s a good setup so far.
Did have some issues with first card sent but Amazon’s exchange process is fast as they just send out another product immediately and give you 30 days to ship your original back.
