00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:14,879
welcome to my unboxing and first look at the MSI Radeon 7850 power Edition

2
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:18,800
remember power edition cards feature enhanced thermal performance with twin

3
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:23,199
frozer coolers this one has the twin frozer 4 and triple over voltage

4
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:28,400
enhanced pwm design so what is an enhanced pwm design mean basically

5
00:00:26,039 --> 00:00:35,360
better voltage regulation for the memory as well as the GPU core

6
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:38,000
and full support for triple over voltage

7
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:45,120
so triple over voltage basically amounts to being able to overvolt the GPU the

8
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:46,840
PLL and the memory through MSI

9
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:50,879
afterburner software so we've got a mini DisplayPort to fullsize DisplayPort

10
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:54,960
adapter included DVI to VGA adapter included some useless discs and manuals

11
00:00:53,079 --> 00:00:59,519
and if you really need to know how to install a graphics card at this point

12
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:02,600
then I have a video about that so don't worry too much about the paper manual

13
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:07,320
that comes with your graphics card you got a dual Molex to six pin PCIe

14
00:01:04,559 --> 00:01:12,799
connector because this is a 7850 so you only need one of them it's a very small

15
00:01:09,799 --> 00:01:16,600
very compact card and so you can quite

16
00:01:12,799 --> 00:01:20,479
plainly tell that MSI has done up their

17
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:24,439
own yeah come

18
00:01:20,479 --> 00:01:26,640
on yeah see the PCI bracket punctured

19
00:01:24,439 --> 00:01:32,040
the bag so I couldn't get it out um so MSI has done completely their own custom

20
00:01:29,079 --> 00:01:37,399
PCB in order to build a be for your pwm as well as just generally a better board

21
00:01:33,759 --> 00:01:39,600
for more overclocking goodness so this

22
00:01:37,399 --> 00:01:44,560
is more of a value oriented card this is like value gaming not uh not like value

23
00:01:42,799 --> 00:01:47,759
cards so you're still going to get dramatically better performance than

24
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:51,799
you'd get with any kind of an onboard or like you know ghetto lowend card

25
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:54,960
solution but you're not going to pay a boatload for it and the great thing

26
00:01:53,360 --> 00:02:00,399
about their power edition cards is that while they do cost a little bit more than reference cards it's not that much

27
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:04,240
considering the extra benefit so you got the twin frozer 4 cooler which basically

28
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:07,159
means on this particular version this is a small I mean this is a low power chip

29
00:02:05,799 --> 00:02:13,520
and everything you've got three heat pipes that are Fanning out to uh sort of

30
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:18,319
a radiator style here get you guys a better angle radiator style aluminum

31
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:23,319
fins that cover the entire length and width of the PCB very very nice very

32
00:02:21,239 --> 00:02:27,879
good cooling you've also got check this out so this piece right here is actually

33
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:31,680
fully attached to here I'm going to try and get you guys like an angle can you

34
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:35,680
see in there can you see the full um unisync that's covering the entire card

35
00:02:33,959 --> 00:02:40,879
so that gives this card a lot of rigidity like check this out there's no

36
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:42,400
flex to it it gives it okay well okay

37
00:02:40,879 --> 00:02:46,599
there is if I grab the cooler but if you actually take the PCV compared to a

38
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:49,760
regular card it's very rigid is very strong so you have the cooling benefit

39
00:02:48,239 --> 00:02:53,560
of having a heat sink over the all the RAM chips and pwm and then you've also

40
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:56,959
got the benefit of once you install it in the card it's not going to Sag like a

41
00:02:55,400 --> 00:03:00,720
lot of cards to because they have that Flex so I really like that about this

42
00:02:59,519 --> 00:03:04,920
particular particular design that we've seen on some of MSI's recent cards the

43
00:03:02,959 --> 00:03:08,920
twin frozer 4 has a lot of different things going for it so it's got heat

44
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:13,040
pipes it's got dual fans it's got uh propeller blades which basically amount

45
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:16,640
to more air flow and they will spin in Reverse at the beginning this is the

46
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:20,440
feature of the twin frozer 4 in order to remove dust from the fins before turning

47
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:23,640
around and spinning the other way to actually cool the card so you'll notice

48
00:03:22,159 --> 00:03:28,519
when you first boot it up it's quite loud but that's normal it's trying to

49
00:03:26,519 --> 00:03:30,879
blow all the dust out of it before it actually starts cooling the card this

50
00:03:29,879 --> 00:03:36,760
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

51
00:03:34,159 --> 00:03:42,040
twin frozer cards so they've got like you know MSI sort of silver black thing

52
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:45,519
going on usually a little color accent thing like that looks really really

53
00:03:43,599 --> 00:03:49,239
sharp um yeah in terms of overall features of the board so it's a little

54
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:53,400
slower than a 7870 but given the difference in price it's definitely

55
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:59,799
justifiable it also only uses a single PCIe six pin PCI power connector so

56
00:03:58,239 --> 00:04:03,799
that's a six pin right there not even and8 pin it has full support for

57
00:04:02,079 --> 00:04:10,200
Infinity so supports up to four displays you got two mini display ports on this

58
00:04:05,439 --> 00:04:12,319
card HDMI and DVI out so actually I

59
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:17,880
think it in theory supports more than that if you daisy chain uh additional

60
00:04:15,079 --> 00:04:22,639
displays but let's go ahead and say four at least for now in fact let's have a

61
00:04:20,239 --> 00:04:28,479
look at what MSI has to say about the card so you got amdi Infinity hd3d which

62
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:30,759
we've tried in the uh we've got 4K

63
00:04:28,479 --> 00:04:34,320
support which is actually really cool so you can drive a 4K display off this card

64
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:40,160
that's new with the 7,000 generation of cards deep color and 3 GHz K be media

65
00:04:38,039 --> 00:04:44,360
play power play power tune ah yes 28 nanometer process technology this is an

66
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:47,600
extremely power efficient card and performance and overclocking are

67
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:52,720
outstanding given that the price that you're looking at is also fully PCI

68
00:04:49,280 --> 00:04:54,440
Express 3.0 compliant which for a card

69
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:59,400
like this is not going to amount to any kind of a performance Delta but I mean

70
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:04,160
there you have it if you have a PCI E3 board and you really want a PC at E3

71
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:06,479
card you can put this in it you've also

72
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:10,880
got full support for AMD Crossfire two-way only not three-way so bear that

73
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:13,960
in mind there's only one crossfire set of Crossfire fingers up at the top and I

74
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:19,000
think that pretty much covers it thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at the 7850 power Edition
