MSI Radeon HD 7770 DirectX 11 R7770-PMD1GD5 1GB 128-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card

Pros: Compact design. Not as long as the HD5670 it replaced. Runs much cooler than the 5670 it replaced even under full gaming mode. Low power consumption. Fan is not loud at all Great performance. Can play any of the games I play maxed out.

Cons: Still requires a PCI-e power cable, but no eggs docked for this. Took over a week to come even though it was supposed to be three day shipping. Not docking an egg for that, it ain't MSI's fault.

Overall Review: I caught this on sale for under $100 on a Christmas sale and then has a $30 rebate on top of that. To me that is great bang for the buck, and this card delivers. I like the fan and heat sink layout and it seems very, very efficient.

Pros: I love this little card, i've always said my favorite card i've ever owned was my 5770. This card is a re-carnation of that card. Its fast, low power requirement and scales great for crossfire. I've been playing Borderlands 2 @ 1920 x 1080 mostly maxed out and its great. Couldn't ask for a better deal.

Cons: None

Overall Review: i3 2120 Biostar z77 G.Skill 8gb @ 1600 Msi 7770 OCZ 60gb SSD Antec PSU

Pros: Great value card, MSI has an amazing cooler on this, and with MSI's software, MSI After Burner, will help you get the most of your card. Buy this card if you want some decent preformace/ price ratio.

Cons: The card is a little flexible, so be careful.

Pros: Fast for the Money!

Cons: None - I should have bought it from NewEgg and not that Forest dot com place

Overall Review: I played BF3 tonight at 1920x1080 with Med-High Settings at over 40 FPS and with MSI AB I never broke 34 Degrees. I am not much of an AMD/ATI Fcan, I kinda lean to the other side but since I build for a living AMD/ATI seem to have what folks need on a budget. Here's What I built.

Pros: When it works, it is a decent/ good card for the money (that I paid at least). Fan is like a snowblower past 75%, but not bad otherwise.

Cons: This card has been an issue since day one. I have been chasing an instability in a new build for a month and finally pinned down that it was a driver issue (hopefully) for this GPU. I had to manually install a driver component to system32 to get it to work without sporadic BSOD. The included driver install as well as the latest update install was giving a BSOD related to atikmdag.sys file (google it if your interested) and manually correcting this was the only fix.

Overall Review: A repeatedly broken install on a rather mundane build is, to my mind, unacceptable. The ATI installer and software is simply broken, and there seems to be no effort to correct it. FYI, I'm no fan-boy and I buy what I think is the best product for what I need at the lowest price. This one. however, was a mistake. ASUS M5A97 R2.0 FX-6300 G-SKILL sniper 4x2 EVGA 600B This card...

Pros: The card looks pretty cool. Nifty blue and black design. Not very long, so it fits in pretty much any case. Low power usage. WHEN IT WORKED

Cons: Where to start. After less than a week of use, this card has started flickering, artifacting, and worst of all BLACK SCREENING. Sometimes, it will go for 30 minutes without doing it, sometimes it will do it 3 times in 20 seconds. Each time it black-screens, it does so for 2-3 seconds, and then comes back up. At first I thought maybe it was the monitor, so I switched it with another one - no change. I thought maybe I was putting too much of a load on the card while gaming, until I caught it doing it at an idle Windows 7 desktop. Bottom line, this card is terrible.

Overall Review: I'm a gamer, and I play lots of MMORPG games, so being able to react quickly is VERY important. That's impossible to do when my screen is going black for 2-3 seconds at a time. For the record, I'm a computer consultant with 20 years experience. I've troubleshot the heck out of this thing, and it's definitely the card. I've notice that there are at least a half-dozen other people who've had the exact same problem as me. I'd say this is a very disturbing pattern. Lastly, I've got an MSI motherboard, which I've had good luck with, but this card does not live up to their standards. AVOID at all costs.

Pros: Great card, runs most games at med settings at or above 30 fps. Very low power profile, great price

Cons: Trued overclocking it by 20% using the software included, and it caused BSD errors. Back off to normal and it ran great again.

Pros: For only $100, its really good for a mid-ranged setup under gaming, will max out most fairly demanding games like justcause 2, gta4 or skyrim. and you still get bout 40 to 60 fps. not to mention the afterburner progam comes with a nifty recording mode. no complaints yet, but i have only had it for two days, we will see how time treats me...

Cons: not very well vented, pretty much just a fan on top of a heatsink, the plastic covering doesnt flow the air at all. it just blows hot air out in all directions.

Overall Review: the auto fan mode is skippy, when playing games maxed the fan will constantly go from high to low, sounds like it cant decide if its hot or not
