What 7850 should I get?

[xpygmy]

What 7850 is best out of all the ones that are available? The prices range from £140-180 so I will only spend £170 on a card.

Dang! Just had a look and the pricing of the 7850 has shot back up for around £10 or more.

But it comes with sleeping dogs now. Also I am not worried about warranty, I just want to know which one is more reliable, faster and performs best.

they all perform pretty well,things you wanna consider is the fans,how quiet and how good they cool,the msi and gigabyte are pretty good,the rest arnt far behind either

If you are ordering today, I would think it's better to get this 7870:

BTW what CPU are you using?

 

[wazza300]

true but an overclocked 7850 will easily match it,but for £20 odd quid more i suppose its a decent price

Prices up and down quite a lot, so it would be best check again when you are ready to order.

Im in the same boat, torn between the MSI and Gigabyte 7850's both have 3 year warranty, both the same price but the Gigabyte is clocked higher.

I bought an MSI 7850 3 months ago and its never missed a beat. Clocked to 1050/1100 on stock volts

 

[wazza300]

dont worry about the factory overclocks,they will ALL max ccc overdrive settings!!!

 

[greenpanda]

MSI is a good brand but Gigabyte customer service and after sales warranty are even better - absolutely top notch RMA service!

Im still trying to get mine to be able to go futher than the max allowed core clock of 1050mhz but having to luck with afterburner

I use asus gpu tweak

 

[leoncao]

I personally vote for asus if you can find it. Direct cu is awesome.

Aren't asus still known for their horrific rma service ?

I'd go with gigabyte or Msi.

+1

My ranking would be:

1. Gigabyte
2. MSI


Asus are reliable but when something do go wrong, their service is a bit slow and average at best.
