A great combination of performance and value, the GIGABYTE GV-R785OC-2GD graphics card offers a great solution for serious gamers requiring smooth gameplay and high quality HD video playback without a hit to the wallet. It's based on the latest 28nm GCN architecture and built around 1024 Stream Processors with 2GB/256-bit GDDR5 memory. A host of AMD technology such as AMD Eyefinity, AMD PowerTune, AMD ZeroCore Power, Crossfire and UVD (Unified Video Decoder) offers more than one way to boost your experience.

Performance is only a part of the story. Ultra Durable 2 design adopts the first class components, including Ferrite Core Chokes, Low RDS (on) MOSFET and Lower ESR Solid Capacitors for unmatched stability and durability during demanding condition. WINDFORCE 2x cooling solution adopts 2x inclined fans which efficiently dispel heat while minimizing turbulence between fans, and 2 copper heatpipe to quickly transfer heat from hot area.

Ultra Durable 2 Using high quality components on graphics cards is the key factor for having a long lasting, stable and reliable product. GIGABYTE is again setting a new standard by using Ferrite Core Chokes, Low RDS (on) MOSFET and Lower ESR Solid Capacitors, providing the stability and reliability from their high-end graphics solution. In addition, GIGABYTE Ultra Durable 2 Edition graphics cards now feature a sophisticated layout topology. This state-of-the-art power design from GIGABYTE delivers the ideal integration of thermal, electric characteristics, digital signals, power circuitry and optimum placement of components for enhanced graphics performance.
WINDFORCETM 2X: Anti-turbulence Cooling The special inclined dual fan design effectively minimizes the flow of turbulence between two fans and enhances heat dissipation of hot area right underneath each fan. By unique design, WINDFORCETM 2X even enlarges air channel on the graphics card vents and creates a more effective air flow system in chassis. This special design helps heat dissipate quickly from GPU. In addition, WINDFORCETM 2X is equipped with 2 copper heat-pipes which strengthen the speed of heat dissipation.
Gold plated HDMI Gold plated, durable large contact area connectors have been used for optimum signal transfer between connections.

Jinsifer 5/20/2013 7:27:07 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Best video card i ever owned! Pros: I bought this card & ran every last single AAA title at it at MAX settings. Zero lagg, i bought two of them just for the lols. I will always trust gigabyte IMO. Cons: NONE Other Thoughts: Don't buy the 1GB version as most games eat up 2GB if vram on ULTRA nowadays. I made that mistake and had lagg on ultra settings, switched to a 2gb and ran all games like a champ :). Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Angel 5/18/2013 2:59:19 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 4/5	Rating: 1/5No more gigabyte Pros: Really good and well cooled card which delivers plenty for the price..when It runs.. Cons: After I play a game for 20-60 minute screen goes black the card stops and my PC needs to be restarted from the switch on the powersupply. Tried cleaning/reinstalling drivers, fresh installs, different machine, different psu all you can do really ... Other Thoughts: Avoid this card, save yourself from losing your mind and time.

Brandon Esparza 4/19/2013 9:54:19 PM Tech Level: 3/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 4/5Great but crahes Pros: this card was great it ran every game that i threw at it on the highest settings and played them at about 60 frames per sec and obvouisly some way higher Cons: the card like other's card did also have problems where it would randomly crash at about 20- 40 mins of gameplay and im hoping that GIGABYTE will send me a replacement Did you find this review helpful?

N/A 4/11/2013 8:23:01 AM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 4/5Good but... Pros: Great card for the price Cons: I had to return the first one but the second one works fine. The first one would lock up the system randomly (and I mean pull-the-plug-from-the-wall type lockup). Other Thoughts: I probably should have spent a bit more money for the next level up so I could have gotten >60fps in WoW (in MoP land) on high/ultra settings (not that 50fps is bad) Did you find this review helpful?

Keel4n 4/8/2013 10:13:04 AM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 4/5	Rating: 1/5Terrible Pros: For the first 20 minutes before this card crashes, it is great! Quiet and powerful. Cons: Doesn't work, same issue as many 7850 owners. Happily playing a game and 10-40 minutes in, screen goes black. Tried drivers, fresh installs, different machine, different psu. You name it i have tried it. The 7850's are a bad bunch of cards and i wish i would have avoided them. Now i am stuck with a card with a RMA request that will never get reply too. Other Thoughts: Avoid this card, save yourself. Manufacturer Response: Dear Customer, Thank you for your comments. We apologize for your difficulty with your GIGABYTE product.

Bartman 4/6/2013 12:06:55 PM Tech Level: 3/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 4/5UPDATE Pros: Runs great no issues, does what it says it can and will do for a middle of the road card. Cons: Fan is sort of noisy, it's not that big of a deal to me but might be for some. Other Thoughts: After ordering one of these in February and getting a faulty card. I got a new one in it's place and it runs great no issues. Very happy after I got my new card. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Rich 3/22/2013 6:32:34 PM Tech Level: 3/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 1/5very disappointed Pros: When it works, it works well.Great fps and able to reach high specs at high resolutions.But.... Cons: I can usually work out any issues on my pc.I have updated the drivers, looked into the bios, updated my pc bios, reinstallation, double checked all my pc components, tried a different monitor, tried all the inputs on the card, reinstalled windows and more.Im so frustrated I cant even begin to state how much.I just wanna play my games, but I get graphical glitches, little flickers and white lines during gaming, crashing, freezing, even graphical issues while watching online videos.I dont know what more I could do.If this doesnt get resolved I will never buy another gigabyte product period. Other Thoughts: If only it would run smooth.Im happy with the performance otherwise but with these issues its not what I paid for. Manufacturer Response: Dear Customer, Thank you for your comments.

N/A 3/20/2013 2:42:02 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 2/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 4/5Horrible timing Pros: Brought my FPS up by about 30 on Battlefield 3 Cons: Ordered over the weekend and monday they drop the price $10. Today, they list Bioshock and Tombraider free with purchase :/ 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Eurkos 3/17/2013 11:57:20 AM Tech Level: 3/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 1/5Defective card Pros: Would've been perfect if I wanted to limit gaming to half-hour installments. When it did work, it worked really nicely. The fans were quiet. Newegg's customer service took care of business nicely when I returned it. Cons: Just about everything else. Like a lot of other people, I had a problem with this card blacking out after anywhere from 20-80 minutes of play time. The most intensive game I tried was Tomb Raider and that did it the quickest. It also did it with Civ 5 and Mirror's Edge. Other Thoughts: Sent a service request to Gigabyte right away. Waited two days, and then RMA'd it with Newegg. Gigabyte didn't get back to me until almost a week later and had very little of use to offer. "Try it in another computer" was the best they had. Not a good experience there. If you buy one of these AMD cards that come with a game coupon, DON'T redeem the coupon until you know the card works and doesn't need to be returned. If you want a refund, you'll have to send the coupon back too. Manufacturer Response: Dear Customer, Thank you for your comments. We apologize for your difficulty with your GIGABYTE product.

Rich 3/15/2013 12:48:19 AM Tech Level: 3/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 4/5After working out the bugs,great card Pros: Fantastic frame rates.Ultra high settings on Skyrim and Far Cry 3.Just got the free Tomb Raider game and it looks amazing on ultra high as well.Upgraded from a radeon hd 5670 in order to go with an hd monitor and get higher resolution with higher frame rates and it does just that.Also managed to play Crysis 3 on high settings so that was a definitie plus.Great card all around. Cons: I notice some graphical glitches on some games.Not necessarily during gameplay, but when starting tomb raider for instance i get strange white lines in the opening screens.Nothing once i get to the start menu or while playing however.Never had those issues with my old card so had to deduct an egg until i know the cause.Otherwise i would go 5 eggs easy. Other Thoughts: At first i was very disappointed.Skyrim was crashing to the desktop and so was Crysis 3.Far Cry 3 was freezing and losing sound.I updated drivers and bios.I was reading all over the internet hoping i didnt get a bad card.I tried driver sweeper in safe mode and reinstalling the drivers and still nothing.Well,i forgot to uninstal my old drivers from the other card before installing the new ones and didnt even think about it.Ended up reinstalling windows and everything was fine.Remember to uninstall your old drivers if your upgrading your old card and you should be fine.Also try reinstalling windows if all else fails cause wndows is touchy when it comes to changes in hardware.
