HIS H785F2G2M Radeon HD 7850 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card

Pros: Looks astonishingly amazing when used to the fullest extent, everything maxed in the catalyst, and in game settings. Everything is very clean and pristine.

Cons: The entire 7800 series has apparently had huge driver and card issues; I have put it off since I bought the card on the 5th of january of this year, up until now. Cant rma, cant do anything because I didnt want to cause inconvenience. Unfortunately, the problem has persisted unrelentingly over the last 5 months. Constaly crashing and black screening and audio looping while the screen is blank during gameplay, happens at least 6 times a day trying to play ANYTHING. I have updated my drivers too many times, and I am completely up to date, and still I have this huge issue. Everyone else that has had this issue has rma'd and got something else, but I cant now, and its rather depressing. I really wish I could, and add a little extra money to get an hd 7870.

My specs are;
Corsair Vengeance 8gig 1600mhz
Gigabyte micro board ultra durable series
Corsair gs 800 power supply
Amd athelon II x4 3.0ghz

And of course this LOOOOVELY graphics card.

I could care less about pcb color and aesthetics. I simply want a nice working card that plays up to date games fairly well with a nice frame rate.
Hate to come off like a jerk if I am.

Other Thoughts: I really hope newegg can set aside the return policy and help me out just a little bit with this. Thats all.

Pros: Great card for the price. This is my first ever Radeon card and i am very pleased with it. I like it so much i just bought the 7890 GHz version for my wife.

Cons: Its big! But thats what she said LoL

Other Thoughts: I am not a hardcore gamer i use this card to box 10 accounts in Everquest and Raid in Lord of the Rings Online with Ultra High setting on 1080p and it doesn't hiccup on my i5 at all.

Pros: This is a very nice card. Got this because my 7970 is out for replacement (*grumble* xfx..meh *grumble*) and I couldn't wait 2 to 4 weeks with NO card (*chokes back tears*). This HIS 7850 is sweet! It runs a heavy modded Skyrim at the same settings as my 7970(!). Only 30 to 40 frames (also depends on the ENB) instead a full 60. Was on sale when I bought it plus I had a $40 gift certificate. So, I practically stole it off a newegg (mwahahaha!). Came with 2 free games, but can be a "con" when you want your $$$ back...

Cons: Not 3 or 4 gig. Seriously, make the memory bigger (to handle more texture mods. future proof, etc...).

Other Thoughts: Really, REALLY like this card. Runs cool, quiet and best of all... NO COIL WHINE!!!! Yes, I'm looking at you my dear 7970...*grrrrrr* If I was looking for something just under the GTX 670 I'd get this in a heartbeat! Can't wait for the 8850 or GTX 770. Bring on the next gen..!

Pros: Runs anything I throw at it

Cons: Makes a terrible high pitch squealing noise. It honestly sounds a bit like a pig. Contemplating RMA because no graphics card should sound like this.

Other Thoughts: If it just was as silent as advertised this would be the best bang for your buck out there.

Pros: runs my games borderlands 2 on high and bioshock infinite on medium. works great for its price

Cons: none so far

Pros: This card is perfect, fits nicely into the case, runs silently and does a great job with everything thrown at it. It handles all the latest games easily and at max settings.

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: My build

Pros: Popped out the old HD6850 and plugged in this puppy. Good to go. Recent driver update had everything current. This card runs at 1/3 the fan noise of old card. Plays Tomb Raider and Bioshock Infinite maxed out with absolutely no problems. Finally get to max out graphics on SWTOR also. AMD Vision Control Center makes for easy overclocking, although I tend to stick with OEM settings.

Cons: None to date.

Other Thoughts: AWESOME Newegg service as usual. Ordered this on a wednesday morning and received on thursday evening!!

Pros: Large amount of memory, low cost, free Bioshock

Cons: Inexplicably buggy. I don't get it (see title). Was running League of Legends flawlessly on a much cheaper (nVidia) card with 512mbs of gddr5. Switched to this new card and suddenly things are going crazy during a game. the mini map flashes white, a flat polygon appears on the side of the screen, the screen behind the HUD flashes white, it looks like objects and menues are minimizing behind the screen- it's weird.

I uninstalled all the nvidia folders and drivers before installing the AMD drivers, I even uninstalled the AMD drivers, went into Regedit and deleted all the nvidia registry files.

Is it possible that my old 512mbs 9800 gt card is somehow outperforming this new model or am I going to have to reinstall the OS to make this thing work properly?

Other Thoughts: Frustrated. Unhappy.

Pros: Very powerful, runs cool, doesn't use much power, overclocks/scales very well. HIS seems to build quality units. At the sale price Newegg ships these for they are quite simply the best bang for your buck of any video card.

Cons: If they had the IceQ cooler and a factory OC on these cards I'd be in heaven.

Other Thoughts: This is the card to get for a budget-minded gaming rig. This is my 2nd HIS card and I definitely recommend them.

Pros: Looks good, plug and play, no issues, HIS seems like a good company but haven't needed to interact with them.

Good iTurbo software for OC'ing and monitoring

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: ASRock Extreme 6 Mobo, i5 3570k
