Great GPU, espacially for the $$,
April 10, 2012 This review is from: ASUS HD7850-DC2-2GD5 Radeon 2GB DDR5 VGA/DVI/HDMI/DisplayPort GPU Tweak Utilities PCI-Express 3.0 Graphics Card HD7850-DC2-2GD5 (Personal Computers)
I have only had this GPU for a few days, so cant talk about the long temr yet:
Pros:
Price, this one of the cheapest 7850s you can find (most are $260+)
Power efficient, very little idle power and 130W max TDP.
Over-sized cooler keep card cool, same cooler that keeps it's bigger brother 7870 cool.
Manufacturer is one of the biggest names in the industry
3 year full warranty (not partial warranty like MSI does)
Cons:
10inch card. The actual PCB is only 8 inches long, but since ASUS reuses the bigger cooler from the 7870, you end with an artificially long card. This also looks weird (cooler/shroud stick outside of the PCB).

Very Nice,

I bought this from Amazon... Prime, no shipping charges, 249.99... This is a very powerful video card. I can fly stutter free in MSFS X. This card overclocks like a champ. I have mine at a clock speed of 1175 Mhz... There are no over heating problems and everything runs smoothly, no blue screens. The temps are under 50 degrees C, and the fans are quiet.

Will run anything and everything if paired with the right rig. In a word, Awesome!
Running it with an Amd 8150, on a Asus Formula V board, with 16 gb of mushkin pc-2133 red ridgeback ram, Patriot Pyro SE ssd for o/s and games. Have played W.O.W. and Diablo 3 so far both with all settings maxed out and it doesn't even sweat......good card.
