Easy to Overclock…Great XFX Card,
Well…
I have this GPU paired up with a Crosshair V Formula board and a FX-8150. I have the CPU overclocked to 4.5ghz and this is a good match to the card.
Pros: Extremely quiet compared to my old card: and XFX 5870. The single fan on the 5870 was MUCH louder than the 7950. Unless you manually increase the fan speed you will hardly notice that it’s there. My corsair H80 makes much more noise while on the medium cooling setting.
Also, it doesn’t accept huge overclocks but I was able to get a stable overclock at 1025mhz on the GPU clock and 1425mhz on the memory clock using the catalyst software. Super easy using sliders in the catalyst software. This does pretty good on BF3(the main reason I got this card). I don’t have any benchmarks…but the improvement over the 5870 is significant…at least 20-30 fps depending on the map.
I also like the physical looks of the card. It looks pretty good in my HAF 932 case. I personally love the silver on red trim for the side of the card that faces you when you look at the MB.
Cons: Not many at this point. I don’t like the fact that the XFX warranty has been decreased to 2 years. I really liked the double lifetime coverage on my old XFX card.
Overall…unless anything crazy happens…I’m extremely happy. The latest drivers work well and this card is super stable. Hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

|So nice I bought it twice.,
This card is just great. Easy overclocks (mine is at a modest 945/1475-same as a stock 7970) with Catalyst, cool temps and low noise (never hear it since the BIOS update). I punish this thing and out of habit I constantly monitor temps. It has never risen above 61C and while gaming usually sits around 58C. I mostly Play SWTOR which is not a super demanding game usually, but I am running 5760×1080 eyefinity plus a fourth 1920×1200 monitor with the game settings maxed out. That is a heck of a lot of pixels for just one card and I have seen my fps dip into the teens a few times making the game very choppy occasionally. So when the price dropped recently I did not hesitate to pick up another. So to recap; its powerful, easy to tweak, quiet and now more reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend this card to anyone with a multiple monitor gaming setup.
…and it looks cool too 😉

|Great card! Cool, quiet and fast!,
I would like to preface this by saying I own my own business doing PC repair and building custom PCs for a living. I have owned more than a few cards.
I had always been a Nvidia guy until a friend talked me into purchasing an AMD 6970. After going through a nightmare just getting the card to work right (AMD drivers) I finally got it running smooth. I then added a second one. This caused too much heat and it never worked right. Either one card wouldn’t clock up or usage was low. Games just never ran right with both cards.
I decided to give AMD one last shot and since I had a prior good experience with XFX I decided to order this card. Wow is all I can say. I run BF3 in eyefinity on high settings and get 40-45 FPS..with ONE card. That’s equal to or better than the 2 6970s together could do. Not to mention its a lot smoother.
No stutter at all.
The best part though is how quiet and cool it is. I leave the fan on auto and even under full load it never breaks 65c. Fan is dead quiet too. Would definitely recommend this card.
