Which is the Best Brand for Radeon HD 7950

[shubhankar_venkatesh]

Hey.

I wanted to ask, that which is the best brand to buy an ATI Radeon HD 7950.

1. PowerColor HD 7950 3GB GDDR5 AX7950 3GBD5-2DH
2. HIS HD 7950 3GB GDDR5 H795F3G2M Radeon
3. Asus Radeon HD7950 3GB GDDR5 ATI PCI E Graphics Card (HD7950-DC2T-3GD5)

Which one will be the best choice from the three??

Those three and I will select Asus unless there is substantial savings going with one or the other.

I would pick the MSI scott linked if I were buying one today. Otherwise Asus

Asus and HIS are both solid brands, powercolor is seen to be a bit more of a budget brand by most. If prices are similar get either the Asus or HIS. If the prices are varied get the cheapest of the lot

How about comparing the above brand for GTX 670 ?? I guess Asus DC2T GTX 670 would be better ??

The correct answer is they are both essentially the same in performance overall. Depending on which games you intend to play, one will perform better than the other.

But as per most of the test comparison made between GTX 670 and HD 7950 most of them say 670 to be better of than 7950 and even 7970. Only in a few cases is than they beat GTX 670. Isnt that so ??

i'd say ASUS7950 if single card. ASUS cards add a bit of bulk, but are great performers.

If its Cooling performance, HIS IceQ 7950, if its noise, Asus DCII 7950

The 670 is better than a 7950 of course but it's a toss up between a 7970 and 670

For the $ the MSI Twin Frozr is where I would put my money right now. It's $50 cheaper than the HIS IceQ and $70 cheaper than the Asus DCII. Both of which are factory clocked, jump to the factory overclocked version of these and you looking at $80 more for the HIS IceQ Turbo and $90 more for the Asus DCII Top. Now you are in GTX 670 territory $$ wise. At just $310 after rebate the MSI Twin Frozr 7950 seems like the best overall bang for your buck at most any price point.

PS, I may have just talked myself into getting one too LOL

I guess everything is explained between which is better in link given below:

I guess Asus GTX 670 DC2T is the best of the Lot.
