"For a gamer on a budget, own a 22’’ monitor for playing the latest games or even a 24’’ and would not mind sacrificing some detail levels. It allows for achieving better overclocking results, but also a much more efficient cooling system which keeps low noise levels under maximum stress. The card becomes attractive though when we raise speeds for both GPU and memory so we were able to exceed the performances of our overclocked XFX Black Edition 7790 which was the speediest Bonaire model we have tested so far."

"The card features a consistent overclock from the factory on the GPU, while the memory clocks remained the same. The cooling system is a smaller variant of the IceQ X2 cooler we have found on the 280X, and is quite efficient meaning that the temperature did not exceed 52 degrees Celsius while running Heaven Benchmark for about 43 minutes. IceQ X2 functions optimally if we have a well-ventilated case since all the hot air is evacuated back inside the case and we need to avoid recirculation.

The card traded punches most of the time with our overclocked Inno3D iChill 760 video card and in heavily AMD-optimized games it even succeeded to surpass it."

"在預設超頻後效能進一步提升，進行各遊戲並開啟高解像度和特效下也可流暢評作，而且採用 IceQ X² 散熱，令繪圖卡閒置時幾乎沒有聲音，而高負載下仍可在較低聲嘈之下保持良好核心運作溫度，表現不俗。"

Innovation/Technology- 4/5
Performance is still really good in games and can compete with a GTX770 from NVIDIA.

Performance - 5/5
Latest BETA driver from AMD, Sometimes ahead of the GTX770, quite impressive considering the price

Price - 5/5
Extremely good price considering all the performance you get as it's as good as a GTX770. Enough to make gamers gaming at 1080p happy.

HWT.dk - Gold Award

"Good decision to include their winning design IceQ X2 cooling system which is efficient while keeping the noise at very acceptable levels ... could provide more overclocking potential ... could raise it even further to 1205MHz and the memory from 1500Mhz to 1590MHz, and this WITHOUT modifying the operating voltages.

Performance close to the GTX 770 even exceeds the performance of the Gigabyte OC 770 WF card.

iTurbo utility supports the latest card releases and allows to fine-tune the fan speed, define new profiles, but also to overclock the card with ease by modifying the power limits and voltages."
