MSI Offers 2 GB Radeon HD 7750 Graphics Card

The graphics core of this new card runs with 512 processors and at 800 MHz, down from 830 MHz of the overclocked 1 GB version, but the memory (128-bit interface) has been brought down from 4500 MHz to 1600 MHz. The dual-slot cooling component integrates a 70 mm fan.
There was no information on pricing, but we expect street prices to check in at well under $100 and closely compete with existing 2 GB 7750 cards, such as Gigabyte's GV-R775OC-2GI (850/1600 MHz), which are hovering around the $100 mark.

moffinator This is aimed at people that do not know much about graphics cards and think that a 2Gb frame buffer card must be better then 1gb cause the number is bigger. The 2gb version sounds like it is using DDR3 where as the 1Gb is GDDDR5 so this should lose a good chunk of performance and probably wont ever use more then 1Gb anywayReply -
JJ1217 I didn't think the 7750 was even good enough to run games to even use the 2GB frame buffer, not even Battlefield 3 hits 1.5GB on most games at full settings, and this card wouldn't even get close to running that.Reply -
FullBurstMode Last I checked the 7750 failed to match the performance of the last gen 6850 (by a lot)Reply
Last I checked tomshardware showed that the difference between the 2GB and 1GB versions of the more powerful 6950 was non-existent in most tested situations. -
guru_urug Theres a difference when extra memory will have no added advantage and this case in which the card with more memory will actually be a disadvantage because of the lower memory speeds. Noobs who still buy cards wrt memory size are being targeted here.Reply -
Pennanen JJ1217I didn't think the 7750 was even good enough to run games to even use the 2GB frame buffer, not even Battlefield 3 hits 1.5GB on most games at full settings, and this card wouldn't even get close to running that.Was thinking the same. Big memory is wasted on low end cards since they dont pack a punch to run resolutions that require that much memory.Reply
