  1. You know im in two minds over this.

    Firstly, for the price – wow, what a great deal.

    But another rebadge with some ‘tweaks’ from AMD? come on, its such a cop out 🙁 At least they didnt send you a reference card. makes a change!

  2. The HD7850 continues to live – to be fair its AMD’s best GPU ever. Thats my take, so plenty of life still left in it, especially for £100.

    The GTX760 is faster, but its £200, it wont be faster than two of these in Crossfire, for the same money!

  3. Im glad the 7850 is still around. I got upgraded to one under warranty when my 6870 died. Its great and it can play pretty much anything almost on full at 1080p.
    Then I did something silly and I got another one. Crossfire is really disappointing to me. There are too many games that don’t support it properly.
