PowerColor AX7850 2GBD5-DH Radeon HD 7850 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card

Pros: This is the best card you can buy in the $150-$200 price range. I got mine for $150 after MIR and it came with 3 awesome games. It runs cool and quiet. Bioshock Infinite plays on ultra settings at 55 FPS.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: I got this card to replace two Radeon HD 6850s. It draws much less power but gets the same frame rates and came with Bioshock Infinite, Tomb Raider, and Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon.

Pros: Cheap, HD7850 GPU, 3 free games..

Cons: Different ports than my previous HD6790 which had 2 Mini Display ports, an hdmi port, and 2 DVI ports (1 dual link). The HD7850 has 1 Display port, 1 HDMI, and I DVI...to get eyefinity to work on the HD6790, I had to buy an active Minidisplay port to DVI adapter...when I bought the HD7850, I had to buy a display port to DVI adapter...kind of a pain, but I guess it was more my fault for not checking the ports. Not fond of the yellow, black, and red color scheme as my PC is Army Green with Red fans...oh well...

Other Thoughts: I bought this to upgrade my discontinued 6790 with the hope of going Crossfire later...the HD6790 was able to play any game I threw at it in ultra settings, Crysis 2, Battlefield 3, Skyrim, The Old Republic, and except for Skyrim, they all run in 504x1050 on triple 22" LCDs (Eyefinity). Running that resolution on the HD6790 meant that I had to turn down details in Bf3...hell even Crysis 2 ran Ultra setting, DX11, and HD graphics packs in Eyefinity...but not Bf3...but with the HD750 installed..set everything back to Ultra and it's beautiful...love this card...Got Tomb Raider, Bioshock Infinite and FC3 Blood Dragon...not bad.

Pros: Very great Graphics Card. I built a $500 pc and with this card it can run everything on Ultra.

Cons: None

Pros: Card is still amazing though, went from a 4870 1GB to this and it is sooo quiet compared to that leaf blower and much shorter making my case look empty.

Cons: Rebate process. Create a profile and register the product on PowerColor.com. Print the Newegg invoice and rebate form, cut serial from box. The one piece of information I needed according to PowerColor is the "Rebate ID can be found on the rebate form." Where is this? My 25th day was yesterday, so I'm an artard. I'll skip 2 lunches to make up the rebate : )

If crossfire is desired, the bridge doesn't come with this kit : /

Pros: Good video card

Cons: Rebate scams - they have a hundred hoops for you to jump through to get a $20 rebate - in other words - you're not getting a rebate

Other Thoughts: I bought this because of a good deal on the card with package deal + rebate ... what I didn't expect was for FedEx to completely bungle my shipment and have it arrive a few weeks AFTER when it was supposed to arrive. If my package arrived on time, the rebate constraints would have been no problem. Oh, what's this? Must be postmarked within 25 days of purchase. Package arrived near the end of that time frame - guess what? After package delivery - I'm out a rebate. Thanks for scamming me powercolor - last time I buy your products.

Pros: Have had it for a week. A major upgrade from my ati 5770. This gave me a huge improvement in world of warcraft by about 15fps. I'm actually able to run in ultra now without dropping below 40fps and I have a amd fx 6300 cpu OC'd to 4.3ghz.

This card overclocks like a true champ. 1100mhz gpu clock, 1400mhz memory clock and at most I've seen it get to 71C which is pretty good for a graphics card. With new ATI drivers still coming out for the 7000 series, this card will only become faster. At first I wasn't going to get 2gb because I only play at 720p. Boy was I about to make a mistake. World of warcraft get's up to 1200-1400mb usage and Tomb raider will go over 1gb as well. Get the 2gb one because it will soon be a minimum requirement.

Cons: Didn't get Farcry 3. Was looking forward to that game. I'm not sure why it's being falsely advertised that it will give you that game. Seems like something the site could get in trouble for. I was disappointing as well by not getting it and got this card because 3 games would mean that I'd have something to keep me busy till I got some more money for more and thus could spend more on the card. But meh, the card is still great.

Other Thoughts: Don't try to overclock to 1150mhz on gpu clock, card will crash even with voltage raised to it's locked voltage limitation of 1225. The fan isn't quiet but I don't care if it sounds like even a jet engine, I like a fa that will keep the card cool allowing more overclocking than a fan that is quiet and makes the card overheat.

Pros: Looks decent
Plays games with ease. I have played the included games so far with it just a little.
Bioshock at 1080P with highest settings almost always runs at 60 FPS. It sometimes drops during gameplay, but I've not seen it go below 30, and it seems smooth constantly.
Tomb Raider, which I was not excited for really, looks absolutely stunning graphics wise and after just 30 minutes I wanted to play it! If I wasn't wanting to play Bioshock more, I would be. As for how the card performs, with all settings as high as they will go, again at 1080p, it runs but not well. You drop down in the teens a lot. It does not feel smooth. However, if you just turn the AA down a little to FXAA it will run between 30-40 FPS without any issue, and to me this is plenty playable. You could turn the settings down a little more and have the game look amazing and have 60 fps, but, this is the most graphically stunning game I have ever seen in my life and I am not turning it down!
Overclocks very easy with AMD Overdrive.

Cons: Had an issue at first where it wanted to run at 100% usage no matter what, even just on the desktop. Something in my startup settings in msconfig was doing it, or a service. I turned off all of those I did not need and it works perfect now. Not an issue with the card, just a note encase anyone else has an issue to try this.

Cooler does not cool the RAM just the CPU. I don't like this, but not a huge deal still works amazing.

Other Thoughts: I changed the thermal past on mine first thing to Zalman STG2. Not that the stock paste was bad, but I knew this stuff was better. My temps at max now are only 62, and thats after overclocking, and without changing the fan settings. Plenty cool for a GPU.
I have it overclocked to 1000 core clock and memory at 1400. Having them maxed felt just a little unstable, but I didn't touch voltage at all either. I didn't need to. Performs well. In time I will buy a second and crossfire if I really feel I need more.
For my results in the Pros section, I think my CPU may be limiting the card a little to be honest. I have a i3-3225 installed, great CPU, have it OC'd to 3.5 GHz and the voltage turned way down on it. Still performs well, but I think I am finally hitting its limit. An i5 or similar CPU will probably perform better.

Pros: First graphics card I've ever owned. Paired with my i5-3570k this thing is awesome. Was very easy to overclock and am Currently playing Tomb Raider on Ultra at an average of 56 FPS at 1080p. Great card and couldn't be happier would recommend to anyone making the jump from Console to the world of PC gaming.

Cons: None so far

Other Thoughts: Great time to get it with the 3 free games offer!

Pros: Good graphics processing, very quiet (actually pretty impressed!), and of course awesome price, great peice of hardware for 150! Thinking of buying another one just to crossfire them :)

Cons: I was looking forward to trying out FC3 Blood Dragon...but I didnt get the code for it or anything, just tomb raider and bioshock infinite (which has a mind numbing ending btw!!).

Other Thoughts: Make sure your cpu doesn't bottleneck the video card before making assumptions and giving it a bad rating...

Pros: Comes with Bioshock Infinite and Tombraider! Thats 2 new games plus a amazing graphics card for under 180 with the mail in rebate. What a deal.

-2GB of Memory
-Overclockable
-Quiet
-Nice beefy heat sync.
-Only needs 1 PCI power connection

Arrived with the game coupon vouchers through Steam downloads as promised. In addition I received an email with registering for my free games, that I would also receive Far Cry 3 download codes the first week of May. That's 3 free games with one video card. Is there a better deal? I think not!

Packaging was as I always expect with newegg, timely shipping and secure delivery.

Cons: - Doesnt come with a crossfire bridge! Though I dont take off for that.

Other Thoughts: I rebuilt my desktop a few years back. My first GPU upgrade was a Powercolor 6850. The card has been sturdy and I havent had an issue to date. So when it came time to go to the next level I went with them again. I am brand loyal until I find a reason not to be. I had never heard of Powercolor before my last card purchase, I have been bragging on them ever since and will continue to do so.
