MSI Radeon 7850 power Edition remember power edition cards feature enhanced thermal performance with twin frozer coolers this one has the twin frozer 4 and triple over voltage enhanced pwm design so what is an enhanced pwm design mean basically better voltage regulation for the memory as well as the GPU core and full support for triple over voltage so triple over voltage basically amounts to being able to overvolt the GPU the PLL and the memory through MSI afterburner software so we've got a mini DisplayPort to fullsize DisplayPort adapter included DVI to VGA adapter included some useless discs and manuals and if you really need to know how to install a graphics card at this point then I have a video about that so don't worry too much about the paper manual that comes with your graphics card you got a dual Molex to six pin PCIe connector because this is a 7850 so you only need one of them it's a very small very compact card and so you can quite plainly tell that MSI has done up their own yeah come on yeah see the PCI bracket punctured the bag so I couldn't get it out um so MSI has done completely their own custom PCB in order to build a be for your pwm as well as just generally a better board for more overclocking goodness so this is more of a value oriented card this is like value gaming not uh not like value cards so you're still going to get dramatically better performance than you'd get with any kind of an onboard or like you know ghetto lowend card solution but you're not going to pay a boatload for it and the great thing about their power edition cards is that while they do cost a little bit more than reference cards it's not that much considering the extra benefit so you got the twin frozer 4 cooler which basically means on this particular version this is a small I mean this is a low power chip and everything you've got three heat pipes that are Fanning out to uh sort of a radiator style here get you guys a better angle radiator style aluminum fins that cover the entire length and width of the PCB very very nice very good cooling you've also got check this out so this piece right here is actually fully attached to here I'm going to try and get you guys like an angle can you see in there can you see the full um unisync that's covering the entire card so that gives this card a lot of rigidity like check this out there's no flex to it it gives it okay well okay there is if I grab the cooler but if you actually take the PCV compared to a regular card it's very rigid is very strong so you have the cooling benefit of having a heat sink over the all the RAM chips and pwm and then you've also got the benefit of once you install it in the card it's not going to Sag like a lot of cards to because they have that Flex so I really like that about this particular particular design that we've seen on some of MSI's recent cards the twin frozer 4 has a lot of different things going for it so it's got heat pipes it's got dual fans it's got uh propeller blades which basically amount to more air flow and they will spin in Reverse at the beginning this is the feature of the twin frozer 4 in order to remove dust from the fins before turning around and spinning the other way to actually cool the card so you'll notice when you first boot it up it's quite loud but that's normal it's trying to blow all the dust out of it before it actually starts cooling the card this mean that you won't have to clean this card out as often as you would with a normal one I also love the look of their twin frozer cards so they've got like you know MSI sort of silver black thing going on usually a little color accent thing like that looks really really sharp um yeah in terms of overall features of the board so it's a little slower than a 7870 but given the difference in price it's definitely justifiable it also only uses a single PCIe six pin PCI power connector so that's a six pin right there not even and8 pin it has full support for Infinity so supports up to four displays you got two mini display ports on this card HDMI and DVI out so actually I think it in theory supports more than that if you daisy chain uh additional displays but let's go ahead and say four at least for now in fact let's have a look at what MSI has to say about the card so you got amdi Infinity hd3d which we've tried in the uh we've got 4K support which is actually really cool so you can drive a 4K display off this card that's new with the 7,000 generation of cards deep color and 3 GHz K be media play power play power tune ah yes 28 nanometer process technology this is an extremely power efficient card and performance and overclocking are outstanding given that the price that you're looking at is also fully PCI Express 3.0 compliant which for a card like this is not going to amount to any kind of a performance Delta but I mean there you have it if you have a PCI E3 board and you really want a PC at E3 card you can put this in it you've also got full support for AMD Crossfire two-way only not three-way so bear that in mind there's only one crossfire set of Crossfire fingers up at the top and I think that pretty much covers it thank you
