what 7950

[Ian Jones]

Hi all, im looking to get a good graphics card so that i can run all the top games on max settings.

im looking at the 7950, but is one brand better than another, or just go for the cheapest one?

it will be used with a 15 3570k

thanks
ian

or would you recomend a different card?

I've been recommended the HIS HD 7950 IceQ BOOST on here. Comes overclocked as standard at 925mhz and is only £229.99 at the minute.

It's got to be that one, untouchable for the money, especially today.

Got my iceQ for 229, oced to 1100/1400 1.10v with temp not going above 61c at 50-55% fan speed.
Wanted the gigabyte but it was 260 when the iceq was 229.

Is yours the boost version?

Has to be the HIS 7950 at £230. For some reason the Gigabyte WF3 7950 has gone up to £269.99 and at that price I cannot recommend it.

I recieved my Gigabyte 7950 and installed it tonight, it's fantastic. Highly recommended

Hi have the his 7950, but does anyone else get a funny noise from the fan? it allmost sound like there is something small touching the blades, like a small wire or something. if i change the fan speed, the noise changes as well.

i have had a good lock, but can not see anything in the way.

anything else i could look for please

thanks
ian

 

[Ian Jones]

the noise has stopped now, fan is at the same speed. fingers crossed it has gone for good. will keep my ear on it

 

[Ian Jones]

the funny noise comes and goes, it sounds like something is touching the fan every now and then. do you think it could be a bearing, or it just need wearing in?

i hope mine doesnt sound like that tomorrow
