xfx radeon hd 7950?

[kyleVTR]

Anyone got one of these and how do they fair against the rest of the 7950's , im asking because someone has offered me one basically brand new for very cheap

Running two superb cards, but noise of the fans get abit loud once above 60% if using headphone while gaming its not an issue.

Temps
Max while gaming between 70-73c on demanding games like Metro LL

If buying again would I pick this card again? probably not would get the Gigabyte.

Seeing you getting very cheap I dont see where you can go wrong tbh

It is an OK card, not the best one... but not the worst one either.

most of people complain about the VRM temperatures on this card reaching 100C (they can take it but 100C scares a lot of people), apart from that seems a good card.

The majority are voltage locked too.

I had one, clocked ok despite voltage locked, stock cooler was average, used cheap RAM that clocked very poorly.

yea I have read about the noise and temp issues and I hate noisy gpu's my 560ti is quite noisy so wouldn't want anything noisier

I have one that Unlocked and shows VRM temps, my other dont show the reading.
After one hour playing Metro LL VRM1 and 2 read 74c and 68c

Top is my Unlocked card and bottom is the Voltage locked card @1.250
I can run both cards at 1100/1375 and still be under 80c but I see not real point.
