GPU Question HD7850

U_Fig · 2012-05-15 16:26:29

Ok so for my build I've pretty much decided on a HD7850. I'm just wondering; I've been hearing that it overclocks well. what i basically need advice on is 1. what make should i go for out of the models HWVS as that's where i'm getting all my parts. 2. Should i go for the OC model or can you just do this easily afterwards?

http://www2.hardwareversand.de/2048+MB/57695/MSI+R7850+TwinFrozr+2GD5+OC%2C+2048MB+DDR5%2C+PCI-Express.article seems pretty good. Could go for a Sapphire/Asus/Gigabyte otherwise, doesn't matter. They overclock very well and very easily regardless of whether it's an OC model or not.

The Twin FrozR cooler is great and all, but I personally prefer sapphire as a company. I'd get this one. They're both great though.

Nice OC'd temps:

Great sound levels too, although I can't seem to find a good graph...
