welcome to my unboxing and first look at the msi radeon 7850 power addition remember power Edition cards feature enhanced thermal performance with twin frozer coolers this one has the Twin Frozr 4 and triple over voltage enhanced pwm design so what does it enhance pwm did I mean basically better voltage regulation for the memory as well as the GPU poor and full support for triple over voltage so triple over voltage basically amounts to being able to overbill the GPU the PLL and the memory through MSI Afterburner software so we've got a mini DisplayPort to full sized display card adapter included DVI to VGA adapter included some useless discs and manuals and if you really need to go how to install a graphics card at this point and I have a video about that so don't worry too much about the paper manual that comes with your graphics card you've got a dual molex to 6-pin PCI II connector because this is a 7850 so you only need one of them it's a very small very compact card and so you can quite plainly tell that MSI has done up there oh yeah yeah see the PCI bracket punctured the bag so I couldn't get it up so MSI has done completely their own custom PCB in order to build a beefier PWM as well as just generally a better board for more overclocking goodness so this is more of a value oriented card this is like value gaming not not like value cards so you're still gonna get dramatically better performance than you'd get with any kind of an on board or like you know ghetto low-end card solution but you're not going to pay a boatload for it and the great thing about their power addition cards is that while they do cost a little bit more than reference cards it's not that much considering the extra benefit so you got the Twin Frozr for cooler which basically means on this particular version this is a swap munis is a low-power chip and everything you've got three heat pipes that are fanning out to sort of a radiator style a toque has a better angle radiator style of the minim fins that cover the entire length and width of the PCB very very nice very good cooling you've also got check this out so this piece right here is actually fully attached to here I'm gonna try and get you guys look at angle can you see in there can you see the full Yuna sink that's covering the entire card so that gives this card a lot of rigidity like check this out there's no flex to it it gives it okay well okay there is if I grab the cooler but if you actually take the PCB compared to a regular card it's very bridges it's very strong so you have the cooling benefit of having a heatsink over the all the RAM chips and PWM and then you've also got the benefit of once you install it in the part it's not gonna sag like a lot of cards to because they have that flex so I really like that about this particular design that we've seen on some of MSI's recent cards the Twin Frozr 4 has a lot of different things going for it so it's got heat pipes it's got duel fans it's got propeller blades which basically amount to more airflow and they will spin in Reverse at the beginning this is the feature of the Twin Frozr for in order to remove dust from the fins before turning around and spinning the other way to actually cool the card so you'll notice when you first boot it up it's quite loud but that's normal it's trying to blow all the dust out of it before it actually starts cooling the carb this will 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 twin frozer cards so they've got like you know MSI sort of silver black thing going on usually a little colour accent thing like that looks really really sharp okay terms of overall features of the board so it's a little slower than a 78 70 but given the difference in prices definitely justifiable it also only uses a single PCIe a 6-pin PCI power connector so that's a six pin right there not even in Aitkin it has full support for Eyefinity so it supports up to four displays you've got two mini display ports on this card HDMI and DVI out so actually I think it in theory supports more than that if you daisy chain additional displays but let's go ahead and say for at least for now in fact let's look at what MSI has to say about the cards so you got aimed at finiti HD 3d which we've tried and we've got 4k support which is actually really cool so you can drive a 4k display off this card that's new with the 7000 generation of cards deep color and 3 gigahertz K Dolby TrueHD you play power play Parton ah yes 28 nanometer process technologies this is an extremely powerful card and performance and overclocking are outstanding given the prices that you're looking at is also fully PCI Express 3.0 compliant which for a card like this is not going to amount to any kind of a performance Delta but I mean there you have it you have a PCI u3 board and you really want a PCIe 3 card you can put this in it you've also got full support for AMD crossfire it's two-way only not 3-way so bear that in mind there's only one crossfire instead of crossfire fingers up at the top and I think that pretty much covers it thank you
