      I think it is a Gigabyte 7790 OC 2GB. Further testing and analysis may be necessary. Will get back to you as soon as the answer is known.

      If you don't understand what it is, it's probably not your type of bargain.

    how does this compare to a gt630?

  • dreadpiratedan on 09/09/2013 - 04:56

    It annihilates it several times over. The purpose of gt620/630 is purely for office use - multi monitors. They are two types of cards though and I guess shouldn't be compared. 7770/90's are low end gaming cards, gt 630s are not. More comparable to http://www.gpureview.com/Radeon-HD-6570-GDDR3-card-655.html

  • obi1 on 09/09/2013 - 07:20

    is it a hover-board?

    • whitey on 09/09/2013 - 08:51

      Not just a hover-board, it has a built-in Flux Capacitor as well.

    how does this compare with the 6850?

  • diddy50 on 09/09/2013 - 09:55

    is it loud?

  • McWillisac on 09/09/2013 - 10:46

    Sorry to be a noob but would it be worth upgrading my NVIDIA geforce gtx 560 ti, for such a small outlay?

    • foobar on 09/09/2013 - 10:50
      +3

      I think this card is actually a bit slower than your 560ti.

      • McWillisac on 09/09/2013 - 10:53

        yeah it is thanks but its 2gb vs my 1gb im pretty sure, how much of difference will that play? On a game like rome total war 2 it might make it slightly better..?

        • dreadpiratedan on 09/09/2013 - 11:27

          vram on cards of this power make litle/no difference. Some of the newer games are just slightly favouring the 7790, probably due to AMD optimised games OR simply due to newer driver support giving a slight boost.

          Some charts for your reference on the vram differences in benchmarks:

          http://tpucdn.com/reviews/Club_3D/HD_7850_RoyalQueen/images/…

          The only instance I can imagine where a 2gb model would truly be beneficial would be for modding out Skyrim with hi-res texture packs and the like.

          Source of my opinion and how I came primarily came to this conclusion: I own a 2gb 560 ti and have done quite a bit of research about the whole 1gb vs 2gb debate. I do however like modding Skyrim so I'm pretty happy with my 2gb model :D

          Edit: but seriously, has anyone even checked the review link the OP posted? Lots of good info there about how this card stacks up against similar cards.

        • ItsMeAgro on 09/09/2013 - 15:16

          Very little difference. Some games will be slower, rest will be unnoticeable.

          I have a 7790 1gb and actually use it all on Crysis 1 with 8x AA and all settings totally maxxed, but mostly the extra gig will go completely unused.

          Definitely wait a couple of months until HD 9000 series is released and everything drops in price, or get something else.

    Static Ice shows $160- $180 for this card.
    (the $146 quoted by the op may be for the 1gb version?)
    Good deal for a gamer who does not want to dish out for the brag value cards.

    • windows7 on 09/09/2013 - 14:23

      Thanks for pointing it out.

  • JoshG123 on 10/09/2013 - 08:17

    bugger, don't you hate when you purchase an item then literally a week later it's on special - knew it would happen…
    though it's actually a very good card, i needed it urgently and to be honest it's quiet until you ramp it up and OC and spin the fans up.

  • bibiphok on 10/09/2013 - 17:59

    Anyone want to buy it from me? Bought yesterday and it appears it's not compatible with my XPS 8300, even with PSU upgrade and latest bios :( crappy MSY won't take it back :(

    • ItsMeAgro on 10/09/2013 - 19:14

      latest bios

      So you already updated to latest motherboard BIOS? (I have the 1GB version of this card and it didn't work until I did that. Was an AsRock mobo, though. I assume an XPS 8300 is a Dell desktop?

      If no luck, you can probably get close to this price on eBay. (Not sure why ebay has such high prices on GPUs, guess a lot of people don't live near a place like MSY).

      • bibiphok on 10/09/2013 - 20:56

        Yeah, wasted a lot of time :(
        Now gotta to put that thing on eBay, what a pain in the @#$

        Theses sort of issues, not the kind of things you can really research before… who would think that nowadays a video card would not work on a less than two years old PC… bloody Dell, they don't update their drivers so you've got to buy another machine… and bloody MSY, really bad business dealing with them

        • slowmo on 11/09/2013 - 01:19

          not entirely msy's fault… you already opened it and plugged it in.
          most people will take it as a 2nd hand item, even when it's barely new.

          but yeah. I would stay away from Dell in the future. you would think that companies like dell/hp/lenovo will keep up with their firmware updates eh?

        • bibiphok on 11/09/2013 - 12:45

          They ended up taking it back for a 10% restocking fee… not too bad… bought the Gigabyte 650 Ti Boost $179 instead and it's working with no problem

  • sydesigner on 12/09/2013 - 21:13

    Does anyone whether this will work with ASUS A8N-SLI Premium mobo? can't find the info re. this.
    thanks.
