Cons: none so far

Pros: quiet, powerful and fits well in SFF cases. Horizontal power connector was a must.
Comment:
I bought this card to upgrade my GPU in my SG07B box.I get great performance out of my current games and installation was pretty much a breeze. I highly recommend for people that dont want to break the bank for a new card yet have some power under the hood ;)

Cons: (none that I can think of)

Pros: good value, HD7850 can play most games at medium or higher, and comes with good bundle of 3 games in AMD promotion
Comment:
great value for middle gaming video, you'll be able to play most games without going broke.Two very quiet cooling fans mostly idling.Note about AMD games promotion:if you have trouble obtaining codes for games it could be that your web browser's cookies are corrupted and fouling you.Try a different web browser, even on a different computer, and it should work (choose the "Never Settle Reloaded" second option from drop  down menu, and enter code provided by NCIX in email).

Cons: - Nothing I can think of

Pros: - Very Fast- Cool for the overclock it has- Has 2GB for the price
Comment:
I haven't had any problems with this card, installed the drivers and it was simply plug and play. I managed to PM this card for $185 and it's an awesome price for the features it had. Runs pretty much any game buttery smooth. I love the fans on it and is very quiet.Recommended for anyone looking for a budget video card.

Cons: None so far.

Pros: Fast, pretty quiet when not playing games. Card fit in case (it's not too long).
Comment:
This was a huge upgrade from my HD5750. Playing modern games are a lot smoother and at a higher resolution and more detailed. Would definitely recommend at this price point.

Cons: Finicky overclocker beyond its factory OC

Pros: Extremely good performer for the price, nice factory overclock, not too loud, keeps cool
Comment:
For a $200 card, the Gigabyte 7850 OC is very good. While it seems most people can take this card to around 1050 core/1350 mem with no voltage changes, it becomes unstable at clocks beyond that. Having said that, it is an excellent performer even at its stock OC, let alone at 1050/1350. Simply put, this is one of the best AMD cards you can get for great performance at an affordable price. Although it may not be the best overclocker, a base clock of 975MHz/1200MHz and complete stability up to 1050MHz/1350MHz has proved impressive enough in-game.

Cons: None so far beyond Radeon cons in general (such as lack of CUDA)

Pros: Very quiet (my CPU/chassis fans are louder), overclocks moderately well, good cooling (doesn't go past 70C even during Furmark with a large overclock, runs at 45-60 while gaming)
Comment:
Got this to replace an aging HD 4870 that had trouble maxing out newer games (*cough* Skyrim *cough*). No such problem anymore, everything runs on absolutely maximum in Skyrim, Far Cry 3 and everything else I've tried so far (except AA which I leave at 4X cause it looks better).Comes factory OC'd to 975/1200, which is nice, but you can set it to 1050/1350 after installing Catalyst without even bothering to stress test (you still should). Performance degrades a bit after pushing RAM past 1350. However, increasing GPU speed past 1050 without changing the voltage (using MSI Afterburner) makes it unstable. But you wouldn't need to do so anyway for at least a few years.PS: 3d Mark 11: 6060 graphics at stock OC (8% past reference), up to around 6990 at 1050/1350 (another 18% increase, for a total of an extra 24% performance when compared to the reference design).Summary: highly recommended, especially if you want a quiet card that overclocks well.

Good card, the twin fan are relatively low noise. Did not monitor the temp while gaming but the exhaut did not seem that hot. Play wall all my recent games, utilise only 1 PCIE 6 pin power.

Pros: Cool & QuietLooks niceGood overclocksGood performance
Comment:
The fans are so quiet on idle. I can't even hear them when they're under load as well, like when I benched under 3dMark11. Temps never went too high either. Nice Gigabyte-blue color. Well-built HSF with dual-fans. Looks really good. Stock OC is stable. Catalyst doesn't let you OC much, only to 1050MHz. With ASUS Graphics Tweak, I was able to push it to 1150MHz GPU & 5800MHz memory stable w 1.208v, but I keep it at stock OC just because I don't really need the extra juice. Benched with some pretty good scores. Played Farcry 3 for many, many, many hours at a time with no problems. Like I said, I couldn't really hear the fans either.

Cons: Few accessories

Pros: Futureproof - I came from an 8800GTS 320MB and found that BF3 wanted more than 512MB. I've opted to not get into that situation again, springing for 2GB instead of 1GB.Cool - Runs at about +3c above room temperature on idle, and
Comment:
Upgraded from an 8800GTS on an old C2D E6750 (w/ 4gb DDR2), and I can run BF3 on ultra with buttery smooth graphics. Splendid. This review was modfied by poster t 01-04-13 02:03 PM This review was modfied by poster @ 01-04-13 04:05 PM

Comment:
Upgraded from a Radeon 5850 for a friend and he's all teeth now! High and Ultra Settings in FarCry, Borderlands. Twin cooling works and no rattles. Driver install was painless and the included 2 Free Games work without a hitch! For what it is this card was definately worth the price!

Cons: doesn't work well with a DVI to VGA adapter

Pros: almost silent graphic cardreally fast
Comment:
I had to return the LED screen that I bought because of flickering (white transparent horizontal lines on the screen). This phenomenon happened with 2 different screens, using a DVI to VGA adapter. I solved this by exchanging the LED screen with one with a DVI port.Despite that it's an excellent graphic card!

I got this card to test out Autodesk Revit MEP 2013 and then moved it into a gaming computer. It worked great, and lowered my machine's power usage from when it was using a GTX 480. No complaints. Thinking of getting another.

Cons: Catalyst driver has a big problem, which is causing a random computer freeze at least once a day if you are a hardcore gamer.

Pros: It's fast, quiet, and colour is bright.
Comment:
I want to give 1 star for this product but I don't have my order ID, but my invoice number (I bought this product at the NCIX Langley store, and have not ordered it online). So, I have no choice but to give 3 stars here. ---------------------------------The card itself is beautiful and it works great at least when you run your games like World of Warcraft or Shogun 2 Total War for 1~3 hrs. If it goes more than 4 hrs, it will start to randomly freeze your computer, which requires you to cold reboot. You can find examples on youtube site when you search for "gigabyte HD 7850 OC problems". It seems like other people are having same issue. NCIX required me to pay the restocking fee when I asked to exchange this product to different brand card because the card itself does not have any problem. It's the driver problem. When you use catalyst 12.3 version, the freezing doesn't occur any longer but sudden drop  of framerate from 50~60 to 10~11. Catalyst 12.4 and above (upto 12.9beta) will cause random freeze. So be aware.Lastly, I cannot tell if this card also would freeze on your computer because this freezing problem definitely doesn't happen to ALL people but to some people. Perhaps there is an incompatibility issue. But it any case, if you don't want to go through the troubles of having possible freezing problem, stay away from this card. Since it's not the card problem, NCIX WILL NOT give you the full refund. Also, if NCIX tells you that you may have a problem with PSU, don't buy it. 500W should be enough power for this card. I bought 600W PSU to replace 500W PSU because the tech person at NCIX told me that I may have a power issue. I didn't. And I have again wasted 70 bucks to get this 600W PSU. In total, I wasted 70 dollars for the new PSU and 30 dollars for the restocking fee, and it costed me 100 dollar. Save your money and get a different card.

I was in between choosing a 560 TI, 7850 and the 6870. I looked at the benchmark and the 7850 is cheaper for the performance you get. This review was modfied by poster @ 09-23-12 04:49 PM

Comment:
I like the dual fan design, it keeps my card running cool, but keep in mind that my case is well ventilated, I have the Switch 810 and a fan blowing directly on the video card, and a triple fan setup at the top of the case for exhaust. Overall, I am happy with this card as I am able to play most of the games.
