<<<=====LOWEST PRICE IN THE UK - MSI ATI HD 5850 Twin FrozR Graphics Card ONLY £124.99 Delivered!!==

TWIN FROZR is a superb cooler..

 

[Scougar]

Its an MSI built card I believe, their military capacitors, custom cooler etc.

lol, no I'm meant V1 version that is overclockable etc, or the V2 which is slightly more limited (from what I've heard).

 

[muggs]

will two of these run most games maxed at 1900x1200 on three monitor eyefinity setup? also i heard people were having a lot of problems with crossfire on the 5series? has this been fixed with new drivers now does anybody know? or was it down to user error?

well i was just reading a story about a troublesome 5850 crossfire problem, turned out to be a driver issue, just installed a previous set and everything is fine

 

[muppet]

cheers scougar

 

[krooton]

I paid £160 for this 3 weeks ago, doh!

Great card though, runs very cool and quiet.

Worth noting that Crossfire scaling has been vastly improved over the past few months:

That is with the drivers from September, 10.10e and 10.12 brought further improvements. Make sure to use Catalyst Application Profiles though

 

[straxusii]

Good price, still more tempted by the 6950s though. The 6950s scale better in Crossfire too don't they?

How can you compare it to a card costing nearly double??

Good deal if you don't mind old tech though.

Old tech? 5850 is 40nm DX11 feature set last time I looked

thanks for the link, killed some worries i had

 

[JTrickle]

Very very tempted.

And unlike the competitor whose' name rhymes with 'Gay', I'm sure OCUK wont be emailing me 4 days later to tell me it was all a mistake and cancelled.

 

[marktime]

Just sold my GTX 470, was going to wait for the 570s to drop to ~£250, now can go CF for same price with a couple of these. Always stuck to one card solutions in the past, really unsure if it's the right move. Any opinions?

OK ... what clocks will I have to get this to in order to complement my 5970 @ 950/1315 ? I am thinking of putting it alongside for tri-fire as I have today ordered one of these --> http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-047-DE

My 5970 has the accelero extreme cooler so the cooler on this 5850 will keep the noise down at high clocks!

You'd only have to match the clocks as their effectively back down to whatever the lowest are.

It may be hard to match these clocks you have on your 5970, I would clock it down on the memory to 1200-1250 to be on sure it works properly

 

[Hedge]

If I bought one of these would it run on my PC? understand it will be bottlenecked by my other parts, but I was thinking of getting a new sandybridge setup and if a bargain graphics card could be bought this month, it might be an idea.

 

[GoogalyMoogaly]

How can you compare it to a card costing nearly double??

Quite easily. It's a talent I have

Old tech? 5850 is 40nm DX11 feature set last time I looked

It's still a year old and a previous generation. I'm not saying it's rubbish and yes it can still run some games well. I still consider something that is a year old to be old tech (in computer terms at least) especially when it's EOL and a replacement has been released.

 

[Loosecannon]

Hmmmmm.

I have a 4870 and could be tempted by this.

Is it worth going up to a 5850 for £125, or Gigabyte GeForce GTX 460 OC 768MB for £120?

If there isn't much of a difference I won't bother.

 

[Frame352]

I'd absolutely love one of these, but I really need my card before Christmas. Will have to stick with the 460 plan.

Bah humbug

5850 is roughly 10% faster than a GTX460 1GB. And unlike most non-reference 5850 you see in stores, the MSI Twin FrozR actually still support voltage tweak, which would help on overclocking the card higher.

Sorry if it's been mentioned above but when is stock expected, as I'm very interested in one of these cards but would like it before Christmas?

Btw anyone know how quiet/lound these are, hoping it's near silent at least when idle?

 

[Scougar]

Great card though, runs very cool and quiet.

What clocks have you managed to get and can you increase voltage?

Edit, post above says can voltage increase
