  • I ordered this card from Amazon, specifically because it was the right card at the right price. Check out pcper.com and search HD 7850 review to see how this card stacks up against the competition, and you will get a more complete picture (no pun intended).But to summarize: at $250, this card destroys the Nvidia GTX 560ti ($230) and runs just short of the GTX 570 ($300-330) unless you overclock. The figures I'm using are valid at time of purchase. You can assume the lowest possible price either at Amazon or at a competitor.Further info.Pros:1. power consumption. This card only draws about 130W on ONE 6-pin PCIe power cord, which is ridiculously low for its capabilities. A PCIe slot already provides a bit more than 70W, so the draw on the power supply is minimal. This means you can upgrade without spending a lot on a power supply (minimum 500W).
