MSI Cyclone AMD Radeon HD R6850 Graphics Card (1 GB, PCI Express 2.1, HDMI DisplayPort, DVI Power Edition)

Have you actually seen how many awards and recommendations this has won? Have you? No? Get over to MSI's website and look at them.This card is the best in its class in terms of price for performance!The card runs cool, idles at around 36C for me (in this case CiT Vantage Type-R Gaming Case with HD Audio, 4 Fans, Card Reader and No PSU - Black, with one extra fan as well as CPU and PSU fans) and never goes over 60C Under load, even though I've overclocked it even more than MSI have, from 860 to 930 with memory at 1200mhz (4800mhz effective). That's an increase of 155mhz over the reference model, and 70mhz over the overclock already on this card using MSI Afterburner (with a voltage boost to 1.210).This card will run Deus Ex Human Revolution, Assassins Creed 1 & 2, Team Fortress 2, BattleField Bad Company 2 and many more other games on high/ultra high, most of the time with anti-aliasing on, and can drive up to 3 monitors in Eyefinity!This card also scores 7.8 on the Windows Experience Index on stock clocks alone!Don't go for the Nvidia cards when you can grab a bargain like this!

Was what i was looking for.Good performance, and very silent. Build quality is good too. Upgraded my old 5850 with it, was a noticeable upgrade.

Bought this card in April from elsewhere and have had no issues with it. Upgraded from my trusted 8800 and WOW what a difference! The card runs cool at 42*C idle, and never exceeds 60*C. The performance is fantastic, in all but the most demanding games graphics are on ultra (full HD resolution) and run smooth at 40+ fps. The only games I own not running on full graphics are Flight Simulator X and Battlefield 3 (on ultra was running at 30fps, bit low for my liking).So to sum up, fantastic GPU, especially at the price, with custom cooling and a (modest) factory overclock. The GPU certainly has lots of headroom for those who wish to push the chip further!My PC Specs:Intel I5-750 @ 3.3GHz8Gb DDR3 Ram2 x HDDMSI 6850 cycloneAntec 300 case with 2 x 120mm front fans, 1 x 120mm rear and 1 x 140mm top
