ASUS HD7750-1GD5-V2 AMD Radeon HD 7750 VGA 1 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card

I was looking to purchase a new Graphics card with the intent of Hardcore Gaming, CGI animating, Video editing and so on all for a low budget! I looked around for a couple weeks online and eventually settled with this one due to the fact that It has extremely low power consumption and will work on my 250W power supply keeping me from having to push out more money and it overall had all the features I was looking for. So I had an expectation that this graphics card would be a low level to medium level car that would allow me to do more but not all the things I needed to so. BUT I WAS SO WRONG!!!!! IT literally has allowed me to do anything!!!! For $100 I can play literally any game on ultra Settings and get close to 60 FPS or more! I can use 3DS Max and Element 3D with complete control and power! I have absolutely no complaints about this card! It took me 3 minutes to install (That's including unplugging the computer and opening it up and turning it back on.) and was instantly working after installing the drivers which took no longer then 20 seconds once the disk was in! I cannot see how people are calling this a low end Card as I haven't found one game or program it can not run on Ultra Settings!Some Games I run perfectly on high and Ultra with this Card:Planetside 2Lord Of The Rings OnlineSkyrimPortal 2 (120 FPS average)Call Of Duty MW3Tribes AscendTeam Fortressand much much more!This IS an Amazing Graphics Card that I say you will not be disappointed with!Check out my Youtube Channel for CGI rendered using this card!: http://www.youtube.com/morphproducti0ns

The monitor display worked fine until I removed it from a Windows 8.0 pro OS because of the CPU (i7) heat was very high so high that the computer shut down, I removed it and my heat problem was a thing of the past. The computer now has Windows 8.1 OS. The computer rans fine and after I installed a Zalman fan I decided I would try the display unit again but it would not open the monitor. The fan runs on the unit and makes more noise than the other 6 computer fans.

Got this because this card seemed to have fit my needs, but sadly I've been having problems with it since I built my pc in June. Most common problem that I see everyone have with their card; "amd driver has stopped responding and has recovered". I updated windows, increased the card's voltage and even lowered some of my settings but my screen still goes black. Now it's to the point where I entire screen turns colors and that's all I see, a red color screen or whatever color it likes for it to be. Next, I install this program called Driver Detective, because I really think this card didn't install fully like it should have, even though it says up-to-date. So I installed it, said I was missing a driver (like I guess), and it worked pretty good until I noticed that once it turned black again, this time I got the blue screen with a different code; 0x00000116. Had to go into safe mode, uninstall the card and let it reinstall by itself again, now I'm back to square one. Now, the main reason I chose the title was because of this one reason that I found very odd about this card. I looked at my card and my pc is reading it as; AMD RADEON HD 7700 Series. CLEARLY it's suppose to be 7750, I'm looking at the box it came in right now, so that really made me mad, I would not ever again purchase this card. It was my fault for going for the card with no reviews and now I pay the price..

When it comes to buying Asus, I'm usually pleased with the quality. I was not let down with this purchase except when it came to the height of the card - it's just a wee bit taller than my Apevia Q-Pack2 sliding motherboard tray accommodates.When it comes to performance, I'm getting at least around 30fps average in the Heaven benchmark. 3dMark 2011 not so much... but if you play games like Diablo 3 don't sweat. The card runs off the power supplied by the PCI-E slot so no extra power cable! It's also low wattage and runs very quiet.For the price (currently @ $109) it is so worth it. I was hoping the HD4000 integrated graphics of my Intel Core i5 3570K was enough; not if you want decent eye candy though. In case you're wondering what the V2 version of the card is, it's better capacitors. Always something, right?UPDATE (7/14/2012) - I've uploaded a couple pics showing the correct backplate view and also the height issue.

MSI HD6450 R6450MD1GD3-L has the next lower in line Radeon HD6450 GPU.4k 3840×1920×32-bit-color@30Hz (HDMI v1.4 8Gbps) requires Radeon HD6450 and up.We have 9 desktop computers, among which one has$117 XFX Radeon HD7750 1GB DDR5 PCIe FX775AZNP4 (bought at Amazon at 4/26/2013)which has the same higher in line Radeon HD7750 GPU & same 1 GB DDR5 memoryas ASUS HD7750-1GD5-V2,and 3 others have MSI HD6450 R6450MD1GD3-L (bought recently at Amazon).With no gaming, for general computing, desktop publishing & photo editing,we see no visual differences between ≤$40 MSI HD6450 and $117 XFX HD7750.Thus we returned ASUS HD7750 and bought 3 more MSI HD6450to upgrqde additional computers to 4k 3840×1920×32-bit-color@30Hz
