Sparkle is not the only company with a more affordable card ready

After we got the GeForce GTX 560 SE from Sparkle, a card that suits mainstream users instead of hardcore gamers, we get to look at the somewhat more expensive HIS Radeon HD 7850.

Priced at $301.05 / 225.6 Euro (and possible lower on other retailers), it is fully detailed here, so we won't list all the features and specs.

We'll still mention the essential performance numbers though.

The GPU has a clock speed of 860 MHz for the GPU and 4,800 MHz for the memory (2 GB of GDDR5 VRAM).

Meanwhile, the memory interface is of 256 bits and the iTubro software can be used to tweak the clocks.

Furthermore, the product features VGA, DisplayPort and dual-link DVI outputs, plus a single-fan cooler that should be both effective and silent enough for pretty much everyone.
