7850 (my model is MSY Power Edition OC 2GB) is e best GPU ever for overclock. This reference card comes with a 860mhz (my comes with 950 mhz) but in general overclocks to almost 1200. Im my case and becouse my card have triple overvoltage, i manege to aquieve 1290 Mhz with 1.265v and 1475 on the memory chips. That's a 50% overclock, a 430 mhz boost + 275 mhz on memory. Not even the king GTX 980 Ti do better! In comparsion, the performance boosts between 25 and 40% in the best cases, outperforming the R9 270X and in most cases the GTX760 and almost matching 7950/ R9 280 performance which is 2 levels above. In this Bench i put the clock at the max official OC 1050/1450 and results in a little higher than newer R7 370 (1000/1400).

it used to be an amazing budget entry-level option , but nowadays , the integrated graphics of more modern cpus are just better and cheaper than getting a entry-level gpu.

I respect this video card for introducing me to games in 2013. Thanks for the laggy watchdogs. But also thanks for all the games that I played until 2016 with more or less comfort. rest in peace

This is a gpu, which in 2020, holds up and is overclockable to the point where it’s an hd 7870 or even up to r9 270/x and beyond territory.

這張顯示卡,已經可以搞定大部分的遊戲了Dota2、LOL那類的遊戲,60FPS是沒問題的。 他的效能大約同等於GTX 650,我這樣說應該就比較好判斷了吧! 雖然這張卡已經不生產了。
