XFX FX-795A-TDJC need advice

[drangueos]

Hey,

I'm thinking about to get 2 XFX FX-795A-TDJC for crossfire, they look like to be a custom PCB with 6 + 8 power connectors... I don't know if this is a good or bad thing, because they are cheaper than others xfx 7950.... is this a custom low-end pcb or what?

Does anyone have this card?
what about OC and temps?
is it voltage locked?
I'm not going to watercooler, so I don't really care that it isn't a reference PCB, I'm worried if it is a good pcb with good components.

Looks like they are using the same custom PCB they use on the 7970 DD BE (with 2 dvi connectors)
PCB model: VPEAC3861PS8

Thanks.

XFX is a good name, check the warranty. Personally I wouldn't buy a card with anything less then 2 years.

XFX comes with 2 years warranty.
but I'm worried if this card is a "cheap" version or what... because they don't even have it on their website.

Hi - Ive got one of these cards brought in the UK, great price for a quality product,
dual fans are really quiet, comes with 2 years warranty which is no issue as im most likely going to upgrade anyway in 18 months time when next gen architecture is out and reliable!!!

Cards here on their website anyway - http://xfxforce.com/en-us/Products/Graphics-Cards/AMD/AMD-Radeon-HD-7000/AMD-Radeon-HD-7950/FX-795A-TDJC.aspx

If you haven't bought a card yet, consider the SAPPHIRE 100352-2L from Newegg. Currently $270 AR

Also, keep in mind that the XFX rebates are 1 per product just like this Sapphire.

Hi i haven't tried to OC the card in all fairness as it runs fine in Crysis3, which is what i got with the card free

I am sorry I didn't catch that in the OP. I have a double d 7870 and the card works great. However, I would still recommend looking at Asus or Sapphire as viable options if you can get them at the same price. Also, are you planning on an eyefinity setup?

I am running eyefinity already...
I am asking about this cards because they are the cheapest ones, around £220.00, Asus or Sapphire are around £250.00 or more, in that case I would prefer to go for a 7970 for £300.00, but I know that really really soon they will release the new cards, so I don't think I will go for the 7970's.

ok

but if you have time, can you just check if it is voltage locked? because if it is locked I will not buy it.
