Product Showcase
Connectivity wise for monitor outputs we see only a three-fold of connectors supporting all high-resolution monitors. We get a display port connectors, HDMI (1.4) and one dual-link DVI connector. Normally we see four connectors configured on most Radeon HD 7800 series graphics cards.
The cooler we find to be good enough, though it really doesn't bring in much advantages over the reference cooler. It however is reasonably noise wise and keeps the temperature well under control as our tests later on will show you.
The 7850 utilizes one 6-pin power connector, a 500~550W PSU would be sufficient. Interestingly enough the PCB shows the pins for another 6-pin connector yet it isn't installed.
The card is Crossfire compatible, meaning you can hook up another card and double up on rendering game performance.
