Thrilled with my 7950!

bossman150 · Oct 22, 2013

I am really happy after installing my 7950. What a massive upgrade from the 5850. 3DMark Fire strike score went from 2738 to 6523 and my '11 Pscore went from 3981 to 8570. I can't even hear the fans on it, GPU-Z said the highest temp was 74c and the highest fan % was 56% as I ran all the 3dMarks. No OC at all.

Well worth $204 especially considering I got 4 free games with it as well.

You sig says a 7850?

Anyways I now how you feel I went from two 560ti's in sli to a 7970 and my mind was blown. In some benchmarks the 560's scored a little higher but in real world gaming the 7970 smoked my old setup. I am very happy and the best part is I only paid $259!!

Cheers to your upgrade!

This time last year I also went from a 5850 to my current 7950. Made for a Really Nice upgrade.

Enjoy your games on that thing

I just went from a single N460 to the HD7950. Very dramatic improvement and I'm still at stock too.

Doh! Thanks, fixed.

I went from a 3d mark 11 pscore of 8547 to 10534. It feels so much faster than my old setup I think mostly because of the 3gb of vram

I've not found a game that uses more than 1.5G ram. On this card I've played Diablo 3, sniper elite V2, Hitman Absolution and Tomb Raider. Still waiting for BF4

I got the 7950 when it was $300 and came with 3 games and it is still well worth it! Glad you found such great value. I'm so pleased with it, I may just buy another one!

sniper elite uses 1980mb with super sampling 4.0x @1080p for me. when I zoom all the way in on a large city street I drop to about 35fps. That is honestly one of the most demanding games I currently own until BF4.

Great cards.

BOth 7950 and 7970 are great value for money.

I'm thinking about going the 2 HD 7950 XFire route. I haven't tried ATI (Yes, I said ATI!) since the 3870. :drool:

Thrilled with my 7950!
