Just a bit of an oddity...

Had a MSI TwinFrozen 7850 GPU that died on me, RMA'ed it and got the replacement today..

But its been replaced with a different model, looks like the same spec wise but fishing for the wisdom of the crowds on if I've got something better, something the same or (hopefully not) something worse haha

So, MSI TwinFrozen II 7850
(Not available anymore it seems sadly)
Replaced with a

MSI Radeon HD7850 "Afterburner"

Thoughts?
 
Only difference from looking into it is your one had a dual fan cooling system compared to your new ones single fan cooling system.

Has same clock speeds and outputs so I wouldn't be to fussed about it. Unless because of the different cooling system it is noticeably louder would I kick up a fuss.
