I built this in a PC for my friend. He is digging it, and thinking of getting another for CFX.

Quiet, good looking. Yea, awesome.

@DanielTechHD it's the hyperx 3k.

Many good reviewes lately from you guys. Keep up the good work!

Something with quite a bit of space. The Asus 7850 is a pretty long card, so you're going to need the case to be deep. My personal recommendation, if you're on a budget, is the Thermaltake Commander MS-I. It's like $50, and even though it's only a mid-tower, it's got room for a video card up to a 12 inches long. Plus it looks nice.

@DanielTechHD it's just an I7 3820 and a 7870. giving the 7970 away.

I am still amazed at how well my 4890hd holds up, even years later now.

Tis. put it in my build and I LOVE this thing.

[AdamBlakey]

I've got one version 1 of this card - and it runs most games at 1080p with max settings with it being overclocked. Highly recommend it :D

[ljerka]

7850 in general is really awesome. There is the Sapphire version which is probably the cheapest one so if you'd want to run it stock, that might be a good purchase, I know I'm really satisfied with it

[yuGmooDehT]

This is the card I got last week, so far runs everything I play maxed out

[jomunoz]

If I recall during black friday on Amazon the Sapphire 7870 was selling at $210 and a Vistiontek 7850 was at $135. Hopefully they will reach that price again soon.

o dear god :) after 10 years i rememberd my old Card, how good it was how shinny and Strong and to this day i still buy Asus stuff regardless of their stupid expensive price i like the quality

[ScottyFxckinT]

found this card at a car boot sale and picked it up for £20.. works wonders for e-sports titles

[GingerGames]

I have the XFX 7850 and it absolutely awesome. £50 cheaper than the 7870 but I can overclock it to be as powerful! 34ºC on Idle and 53ºC on Idle (1050 MHz).

[Yukisho]

I have an i5 3780k not overclocked and this card. Max temp I am ever seeing with it clocked all the way is around 64 and lowest I have seen is around 20. This one card alone is amazing. I can record and stream skyrim with 20+ texture mods settings maxed out at around 40 fps and it will only get to about 60 degree. I love this card and am possibly going to get another one in the near future.

Totally using this card OC'ed for my new build.

[SlothCommando]

I took em back, too many issues with Xfire. I bought one GTX 680 and couldn't be happier.

[Vminecraft]

i have crossfire 7770's great set-up won't need to upgrade for a while

[atomix]

It all comes down to preference anyway. If you wanna run BF3 or Crysis 3 on ultra at really high fps now, get the 660, if you wanna do it later with newer games, get the 7870.

[Spence]

They're probably about the same. They both use 2 large fans and both companies use good heatsinks and such. Get whichever is cheaper I'd say.
