I just want some decent fps in far cry 3, Crysis 3 etc.like around 30fps at medium settings.so where i stay (India) the "MSI R7750 1gb DDR5 power edition" costs like 100 bucks less than "sapphire 7750 1gb ddr5".The problem is there are not many reviews on the MSI R7750 card.Which made me come here and ask you guyz, would it be a good choice to go for the MSI? because when i checked on game debate crysis 3 system requirements, the MSI had 8 stars while the sapphire had 7 stars if that counts lol.
And right now 7750 is all i can afford.so please don't ask me to add some more money and get a good one, that ain't no answer to ma query =).
The question is should i go for MSI over sapphire? below are the links to both cards.

Your link shows excellent performance in HD and low settings with the Radeon 7750. Tom's also said that even low settings in Crysis 3 looked great, so that shouldn't even be a problem.
 
That MSI Radeon 7750 is a little faster than that Sapphire Radeon 7750. The difference is that it has a 12.5% higher GPU frequency which should amount to a small performance increase. It's not a big difference, but it's a difference.

Also, OP, the memory is GDDR5, not DDR5. Nitpicking, I know, but so many people get them confused (they are not the same technology) and it can cause issues when people accidentally propagate incorrect information.

I was merely pointing out that OP could play at low excellently and that it'd be fine; I wasn't saying that you're wrong about medium being a difficult performance target for a Radeon 7750 GDDR5 ;)
 


I've never heard of such issues with those cards. I've only read of them with MSI's PE cards for Nvidia and even then, that was because of the crap quality of the cards, not just because of the over-voltage. AMD's cards aren't bothered by a little over-voltage much at all.
