This review is from: MSI Radeon HD 7950 3GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card R7950-3GD5/OC BE
Pros:
Excellent performance for the cost. reference board allows to add a water block easily. 2 in X-Fire handles everything maxed out at 1440p. Overclocks really well 1100/6500 without tweaking voltage on the stock cooler with 100% fan speed. Can't wait till my water blocks arrive.
Cons:
The stock cooler is absolute garbage. you wouldn't dare use this cooler on a cellphone let alone a power hungry video card. with auto fan setting at stock speeds Metro 2033 hits 95c on card 1 and 97c on card 2.All this is in a NZXT h630 running with 12 corsair sp 120 fans. I am giving this card 5 eggs because I intended on water cooling it from the get go.
Overall Review:
I believe some people may be receiving cards with different heat-sinks and could lead to the temperature differences. Still for the price it cant be beat. simply awesome.
