    7850 vs 6950?

    I've only tried up to CCC max 1050 core on stock voltage with my sapphire 7850. I'll try more later, but no need now as my q8300 is bottlenecking my performance. After bf3 mutiplayer temps hover around 55 C and I never hear a peep out of the fans. Very happy with the performance...

    Overclocked 670 vs 7850

    Yes, my stock q8300 is bottlenecking my 7850. Too bad I can't my overclock my cpu because computer is a prebuilt. I'll probably upgrade soon to a 3570k.

    Just bought a 7850 and performance is disappointing.

    Still debating whether I should upgrade now or later. I'm gonna want a 3570k and 256gb ssd, probably gonna cost me around $600 for all my parts. I can only reuse my power supply and radeon 7850.

    Just bought a 7850 and performance is disappointing.

    A stock q6600 will bottleneck a 7850, by how much I don't know though, will depend on the game too. I just installed my sapphire 7850 and have a stock q8300 which is basically equivalent to a q6600. Played some witcher 2. Overclocking my gpu core from 860 to 1050 didn't change fps at all...

    MSI Hawk HD7870 at 1800mhz 3dMark11 score over 11,000

    Hmm, didn't see a release date anywhere. Too late now, my sapphire 7850 arrives tomorrow.

    MSI Hawk HD7870 at 1800mhz 3dMark11 score over 11,000

    MSI 7850 power edition, no where in sight. Lame, would have bought at the right price. No stock on their regular 7850 either at least at the places I shop at. Much easier to find an asus or sapphire.

    Asus ATI 5850 - Loud fan noise on idle

    Yeah if your fan is making noise, good chance it is faulty or about to go. Dust and poorly applied thermal paste can cause high temps as well. I'm running evga precision software with a 9800gt and have it set to where it alarms when temps go over 85 C. It started going off so I decided to...

    used 7950 for $325 or GTX 670 for $440 (after tax) ?

    $115 price difference is huge. Also need to resell the 7950, would keep the 7950.

    What price does AMD need to lower to now that the 670 is out?

    Have fun waiting. There is a right time for everybody. Prices will always go down eventually. Playing bf3 with my 9800gt, I want my upgrade now. I could have gotten a 6950 for $200 about 7 months ago, waiting since then didn't benefit me much. But I really wanted to see performance benefit...

    What price does AMD need to lower to now that the 670 is out?

    LOL, nvidia has nothing on the 7850. 660 not for another 6 months. $200 would be great but not gonna happen though. I see 7870 seeing a price drop next. At $350 it is way overpriced. If nvidia wants to go to price war against the 7850, they need price drops on 560 ti 448's and 570's.

    MSI GTX 670 @ Tiger Direct $409.99

    I actually had ordered the evga 560 448 core for $191 after rebate at amazon. Cancelled it because wanted to wait and see what happens and wasn't sure if vram was enough. Maybe I should have went for that deal.

    MSI GTX 670 @ Tiger Direct $409.99

    Yeah, my backordered sapphire 7850 is expected to come back in stock in a couple days. Pretty sure made right decision now after seeing this price. Would have cancelled order if 670 was priced at $350. Oh well.

    MSI GTX 670 @ Tiger Direct $409.99

    I just knew the 670 reference would be $400+. I guess it will be 7850 for me then.

    9800 GT Died Last Night

    I'm still running a galaxy 9800gt low power version, bought a little over 2 years ago. Will be replacing it soon with a 7850.

    Struggling choosing a video card...

    Buying a product with the intention of returning at a later date is shady and raises prices for everybody. Makes return policies more strict too. This kind of crap really grinds my gears.
