MSI Radeon HD 6850 R6850 Cyclone PE/OC Video Card with Eyefinity

Comment:
I just got mine a week ago and have been thrilled with this factor. It's the fastest clock speeds out of the box compared to the other 6850's. Playing Bf:Bad Firm two at 1600x900 with all settings on higher is very smooth. I have no lag or screen tears even with 32 players in server and dead smack in the middle of a huge battle.I paired this card with a new system:AMD Phenom II x6 1055t two.8ghz @ 3.5ghz 4GB Gskill DDR3 1600mhz Asus M4A89GTD PRO/USB3 MotherboardSeasonic 620watt PSUFor the price this videocard is hard to beat with the MIR. Hardocp.com just posted up a sweet overview of this card. Examine it out if your contemplating this factor. They gave it a gold award. ;) Not genuinely a con to me but the drivers and software program supplied on the CD are outdated and this something Ive come to anticipate. New drivers and software are updated regularly. Download the most current from AMD's web site and Afterburner at guru3d for overlocking.

I'm very satisfied with these cards. The 256bit memory tends to make a huge difference. None actually, as an individual pointed out ahead of you can cut yourself quite simply on the heatsink (I got a small reduce on my hand). I have two of these in Xfire and and the pair is quick!!! Call of Duty: Black Ops I typical 85 to 120 fps on max settings.And as usually year after year Newegg rocks!

Looks excellentGreat specs (for it's class)Low cost Compatablity issues with windows 7 (not MSI's fault)Had to RMA It seems Windows 7 and AMD/Ati HD 6850's are not compatible. Just about every time something graphically intense is asked of the card it blue screens or blacks out totally. I should have researched this additional. I've now noticed this on a lot of HD 6850 evaluations with all card manufacturers may be AMD/Ati will come out with a bois update to fix this challenge (hopefully) but doubtful.

OCed out of the boxeffective fanextremely great packaging, involves port covers Card could not play 3D. Tested it with Catalyst Suite 11.1 and 11.2 in a Sandy Bridge 1155 process and a Bloomfield X58 method. Whenever a plan that essential 3D is opened (ie. 3DMark06, Crysis, even Peacekeeper benchmark) the screen goes black and stayed that way. When I reverted to Catalyst 11.1, the programs successfully opened but horizontal lines were all more than the screen and the left side of the screen was on the correct and the appropriate side of the screen was on the left. I suspect a video memory dilemma. Each test systems ran fine with a Radeon 5870 with Catalyst 11.2. RMAed. I'm employing this card in a create I'm carrying out for a friend.

Newegg's client service is exceptional.Ultra game settings look incredibly nice, even on my old Viewsonic VGA LCD. Included: 1x DVI-to-VGA adapter, Crossfire ribbon cable, PSU four-pin Molex to 6-pin adapter. Generic, useless documentation. Not included: Passive DisplayPort (DP)-to-VGA adapter for a second VGA monitor. At least some type of explanation concerning dual monitor set-up ought to be provided in the supporting documentation, such as frequently nevertheless in use video connector standards like VGA. Also, two legacy displays employing passive adapter(s) could be supported by one Radeon Eyefinity card per AMD Eyefinity Validated Dongles.

Received the card yesterday as estimated by newegg, so far i really like it.. installed and set up with an additional side 120mm case fan in about 15 minutes.. booted up my new construct and it worked proper away, installed the most current driver pack straight from amd web site didnt even use the cd that came with. went straight in to left4dead 2 max settings across and it looks amazing! I'll truly test it with much more sufficient games extremely, really soon.. messed with the overclock in catalyst control for a bit set it on 960 mhz and had no troubles in game what so ever! was just a rapid test but i can inform i am falling in love already.. came with a crossfire bridge so here in a few weeks i'll be obtaining one more.. shhh dont tell my gf! ;) none so far, side case fan tends to make more noise then any other of the 7 fans that are blazing away, but i have it up on a stand so its incredibly close to me.. cant hear this card with the fan set manually on 65%.. seems incredibly quiet and runs really very cool.. assume the highest temp i saw was 35 degrees celcius right after 2 hours of killing zombies.. had the window open and it was about 63 degrees out.

I ran the automobile-overclock on this and it pushed it to 950MHZ! this runs any game i want on max settings with some amount of AA. It doesn't even go above 67C on max loads! just an all around great card! heatsink is big! make positive if you want to do crossfire that you measure it out!

* Fastest 6850 series card out of the box on the industry* MSI's non-reference style is the most energy effective, quiet, and cool of all 6850 series cards on the market place!!!* MSI's card is hefty, solid, and simple to clean* Voltage is unlocked for user manipulation for the duration of overclocking* Overclocks like crazy!!!* 3 Year WarrantyMy MSI 6850 overclocks with total stability to the tune of a 965Mhz core clock and 1165Mhz memory clock, compared to the 775Mhz core and 1000Mhz memory reference clock speed with no a voltage improve whatsoever! I used the MSI Afterburner utility to accomplish these outcomes and ran continuous tests with MSI Kombustor and 3DMark 06 to assure 100% stability. I can with no a doubt reach greater outcomes with slight voltage improve, yet why bother when I am running 18% quicker general than stock reference styles?!?! The finest 6850 on the market place at middle of the pack rates....don't hestitate to obtain this card immediately! I can't even envision what this model will do crossfired and OC'ed.... This is the very best price to efficiency value of all DX11 capable cards on the planet. Read up on this point for your self if you don't believe me!

Larger clock than regular 6850s, wonderful cooling resolution, supports directX 11, crossfire prepared, Eyefinity... None however... this card is good, its the very best bang for your buck and not to mention the 10 dollar gift card! this is simply excellent enterprise from newegg! get it! you won't regret it!

I like it dont have to a lot of other video cards that i have applied to compair it to. I like employing the program afterburner that comes with it that assists you set fan speed and overclocks very easy. Can even set up a fan speed/temprature curve! This heat sink/fan setup appears to function well as it can take a decent OC. If you dont OC it you will never will need the fan at 100% but if you do maintain in thoughts the fan is loud at high speeds!

Well built, looks durable. The fan is massive and keeps the card cool. The specifications are far better than other 6850's. I ran Crysis max settings and the game runs nicely and looks remarkable. Gave it four eggs since of Con's. But the card looks to be a powerhorse for at least a couple of years. Having serious complications with ATI driver. I installed it and got a myriad of concerns. Screen appeared with white lines all over it, then it froze, attempted to download Catalyst center alone and it did the very same factor. I tried older version of it and nevertheless nothing. I attempted the drivers on the CD that came with the card and absolutely nothing, exact same issue. I uninstalled almost everything from ATI and the card runs well with the driver that windows installs, but the only factor is that without Catalysit now I can't use the scaling choice and I'm left with a dark empty space about the edges of the screen. I did notice that the catalyst that was installed from my earlier card worked and I was able to use the scaling solution, but then I figured I'd far better install the new ATI driver and go about my small business, but I spent a handful of hours trying to appropriate the mess the driver put me in. I lastly gave up and I'm hoping that they come out with a new driver that doesn't cause a conflict. General the card is excellent and I don't regret finding it. I am disappointed that the driver does not function, but I do be concerned about if the card is the one particular that's not operating correctly. I guess I'm going to take some time and make positive that I don't require to RMA it.

- Will fit simply in a mid size case- Great efficiency, I play Portal 2, Dirt 2 and Batman Arkham Asylum on max settings 1080p no difficulty - None that I can believe of. I had to buy a new energy supply to accommodate this card, but it's not the cards fault

This device works fantastic with Win7 32bit & 64bit & Ubuntu ten.10. Pay no attention to those who say it does not.Load AMD Catalyst Manage Center (running BIOS Version⌵.009.000.004 ...dated 11ት񳏊).I'm operating two ASUS VH236H monitors from each outputs on the card. Distinct windows open on each monitor, perfectly.I don't game very considerably, but this CPU and GPU can run FarCry2 in UltraHigh max settings particularly fluidly. No stutter, no crashing, no glitches at all...and I've played for 6 hours at a stretch @ hardest level.I don't see what the challenge is, (especially for someone with HIGH tech expertise) heheh.High tech expertise is reserved for those who develop Pc's 24x7x365 for a living. Get actual. I'm a computer system networking engineer who hobbies with private computers. I don't know every thing, so I have to ask people on forums and read a ton.And I've been laptop or computer geeking, only due to the fact 1988.This card kicks important tailfeathers (so far). I didn't purchase two of them. (but I'm restricted by my PSU at present).I was searching at the MSI 5770, and purchased this GPU just before there had been any NewEgg consumer feedback ratings/comments. I'm glad I went with my analysis and gut instinct.This card cools wonderfully, and delivers the goods. And works with XP/Win7 ࿀༘bit) and Linux Ubuntu.

Im operating two in crossfire, and they completely blow my set of 4870's out of the water. Runs any game i throw at it at max settings with awsome frame rates. Crysis running max is cranking out 55-70 fps.MSI kombutor set at max settings with dx11, 1900x1080 runs at 250 fps. my 4870's could only run 200 in dx10 mode.Utilizes half the power of my 4870's No physx, but who cares. only a half a dozen games use it anyways. Plus nvidia makes there drivers so that they disable physx if ati drivers or hardware are in you pc. Seems rather selfish. If you can do it running mid range cards like this in crossfire is the cheapest way to be on top. I only did it since of 3d and DX11.

Exceptional card. Totally out of this globe. It's wonderful.I upgraded from a single 4850 to one of these. I'll get another 1 soon for crossfire. That's how wonderful these points are.A reference 6850 has a 775mhz core clock, and the Cyclone has 860mhz. I overclocked my Cyclone to 1000mhz merely by raising the voltage by .05 Ƒ.2V). I don't know if I have a golden card, but if this is the way all Cyclones are, I gotta get my hands on one more one!With modified fan speed, my 6850 stays around 63CኜC. Since it's a non-reference PCB, you can't really attach a waterblock to it. Meh.A reference 6870 costs ฟ a lot more than this factor... may want to contemplate finding that if you can invest a little bit additional. On my portion, my 1000񳂇mhz 6850 is in all probability much more potent than a reference 6870.. so it's sorta a confusing situation on what to get. I'll get a different one. Scaling on the 6xxx series is near 100% I hear (for high resolutions, don't listen to me if your gaming with 1280x1024).I'll leave one more assessment when I get a different card to CF with.
