Opinions on the Asus AMD Radeon HD 7750 requested

[ViperMWC]

Hello all.
Just a quick opinion request.

Thinking of changing out my Power Cooler Radeon HD 5850.

Am looking at the Asus AMD Radeon HD 7750 at the moment as it's affordable for me.

Anyone using one of these ?

Looking for a bit more performance for as little as possible, like everyone

Opinions, suggestions welcome.

if you can stretch a little further the GTX 650ti Boost is a great budget card at $100/£100.

The 7750 is a good card, not the fasted around. If it fits the budget go for it. You could always add a second 7750 in Crossfire. I ran the Crossfire 7700 setup last year for awhile and it performed really well for the $$$ invested, again it wasn't the fasted setup around but it was very affordable.

Thanks for your thoughts,

The GTX 650ti sounds good Badger, but none I've just checked on have a Display Port output, which I would prefer. Not a bad price here though.

MCB, appreciate the 7750 is not mega fast, but I'm moving up from a HD 5850 so it's not going to be slower, and it's well in my price range. Hearing it performed decently is a great help, thanks.

What is your budget mate?

What is your budget mate?

Under £100 if possible Devlin.
the 7750 I'm considering is £70 now, just seeking some real life opinions on it as a solid stable card is more worth to me than a blindingly fast one.
Tech reviews I'm afraid leave me brain scrambled, so I thought I'd ask people who've got a 7750.

4 quid over your budget but its a decent bit better than 7750 mate

From what I've heard on another forum: if you're going with a full-size card then the ASUS full-size HD7750 has a noisy (now dated) fan design.

Instead, the Diamond version of the full-size HD7750 is a better design (with a much bigger fan.)

Here in the US it's just a tad more expensive than the ASUS full-size version of the card.

In contrast, if you need a low-profile version, Sapphire makes a low-profile version with 1/2-size and full-size brackets so that you can use the card either in a small form factor case or standard mid-tower. The price is significantly more than the full-size versions but if you want it and you need it, I guess you have to pay for it. They're hard to find, so the price is high.

Cheers for the suggestions dsperber & Devlin, going to spend some time doing a compare on all the ideas, least it sounds like there are some decent upgrades for me out there, with real users happy with the performance etc.

So, I'm off to do some thinking.

You could also consider a 7770 for just a little bit more. I have an XFX 7770 that's really a solid performer for work and better than average gaming. It's got more stream processors than the 7750 and should perform a little better than the 7750.

It's a fair bang for the buck, IMO.

Thanks Mellon,
Sorry for the delay, been sorting out a system thing here.
I might be able to squeeze out a little more on the budget, the 7770 does look a good bet.
Have a few good ideas now, so will evaluate things and see where too go from there.
Thanks for your info, real world experience is what I was wanting to hear about.
Mick.

Sounds great. I think you'd be happier with the 7770. Like I said, I have an XFX card right now that I'm very happy with, but I have used Sapphire cards in the past with fantastic results as well. Either brand would be good and maybe one would be on sale.

Good luck on your choice.

Just don't forget the 7770 also requires more power than the 7750. Maybe 80 watts vs. 55 watts, and resulting additional heat generated. "Recommended" PSU of 450W vs. 400W.

This may or may not be important in your machine.

 

[Mellon Head]

Good point. The OP has an 850W PSU, so I think he'll be alright with the 7770.
