Yeah I would only recomend this card if you get it for a good price but I didn't find anything wrong with it.

I am in Australia and it costs about $270 AUD.

This is a full review and benchmark of the MSI GTX 950 Gaming OC. BTW the benchmarks are 1080p and video is 4K. Here Is a link to my video review where you can see a more in depth review: YOUTUBE VIDEO Overall this card is very aesthetically pleasing and is very hard to hear when gaming. Card Specs Boost Clock: 1316MHz Memory: 2gb GDDR5 6610MHz Memory Bus: 128 bit Power: 6 pin and 350W PSU Die size: 28nm Shading Units: 768 (GTX 960 has 1024) Chip Name: Maxwell Test Rig CPU: I5 3570k 4.8GHZ OC (Water Cooled) GPU: MSI GTX 950 2gb MOBO: Z77 Fatal1ty Performance SSD: Samsung 850 evo 500gb + OCZ Vertex 4 60gb PSU: Coolermaster GX 750W Bronze Capture Card: Elgato HD60 Benchmarks: 1080p BF4 ULTRA/ Avg: 34 Min: 27 Max: 52 HIGH/ Avg: 55 Min: 41 Max: 71 MED/ Avg: 73 Min: 58 Max 97 LOW/ Avg: 94 Min: 75 Max 149 GTA V (No AA) Very High/ Avg: 70 Min: 60 Max 82 High/ Avg: 77 Min: 37 Max 268 League of Legends Max/ Avg: 253 Min: 223 Max: 299 CS:GO Max/ Avg: 154 Min: 111 Max: 224 Black Ops 2 Max/ Avg: 90 Min: 63 Max: 125 Firestrike Score: 5444 Graphics Score: 6146 Physics Score: 8926 Combined Score: 2231 Firestrike Overclocked Score: 6144 Graphics Score: 7003 Physics Score: 8966 Combined Score: 2570 Overclocking This card overclocks better then any other card I have ever used. I achieved plus 190 MHz on the core and plus 600 MHz on the memory. This gave me a GPU clock of 1506 when gaming. In BF4 ULTRA test range the 950 gained 14% more FPS (50 normal, 57 overclocked). In the ULTIMATE Tomb Raider benchmark the card achieved 13.3% more FPS (48.7 normal, 55.2 overclocked). Fan Noise The fan doesn't turn on until the card hits about 62°C and even then runs at a very low RPM to achieve near silent gaming. Temps Overall the temps are very good for this twin frozr V cooler, at idle it's 32°C and when gaming stays around 61°C. During overclocking it hit a maximum of 63°C. The ambient temp of the room was 24°C. Conclusion Pros Good for competitive games at 1080p, plays any game at 1080p, beefy cooler, nice LED that can be customised, good factory OC, low clock speeds on idle. Cons The Australian retail price of $260 is high for a budget orientated GPU. PICS

This is the first time I have used the camera for a review, next time I will bring the camera closer as it looses quality when zoomed in. Thanks for the feedback. Plus I only have a 1080p monitor so I can't check it in 4k.

Well, out of the box it has an epic overclock compared to the other 360's but in terms of squeezing much more performance there isn't much head room. I guess I should have taken the out of box overclock into consideration.

Yeah, I would go with the r7-360.

Ok, I am now making it into a full review, I also state in the first line benchmarks are in 1080p and video is in 4k. Is this okay now?

Yeah, no problem, I am new to this forum and don't know how to edit the original post. I will try to work it out.

Thanks for the feedback, next time I will bring the camera closer instead of zooming.

This is a full review and benchmark of the Gigabyte R7-360 OC Edition. BTW the benchmarks are 1080p and video is 4K. Overall this card is aesthetically pleasing and there are no problems with the cooling apart from the noise. Card Specs Core Clock: 1200MHz Memory: 2gb GDDR5 6500MHz Memory Bus: 128 bit Power: 6 pin and 500W PSU Die size: 28nm Shading Units: 768 Chip Name: Tobago Test Rig CPU: I5 3570k 4.8GHZ OC (Water Cooled) GPU: Gigabyte R7-360 Overclocked Edition MOBO: Z77 Fatal1ty Performance SSD: Samsung 850 evo 500gb + OCZ Vertex 4 60gb PSU: Coolermaster GX 750W Bronze Capture Card: Elgato HD60 Benchmarks: 1080p BF4 ULTRA/ Avg: 32 Min: 25 Max: 42 HIGH/ Avg: 32 Min:31 Max: 71 MED/ Avg: 63 Min: 49 Max 78 GTA V (No AA) High/ Avg: 49 Min: 24 Max 64 Med/ Avg: 69 Min: 27 Max 107 League of Legends Max/ Avg: 213 Min: 178 Max 238 CS:GO Max/ Avg: 152 Min: 107 Max: 288 Black Ops 2 Max/ Avg: 57 Min:39 Max 79 Med/ Avg: 72 Min: 57 Max: 86 (No AA) Firestrike Score: 3804 Graphics Score: 4220 Physics Score: 8783 Combined Score: 1470 Firestrike Overclocked Score: 3913 Graphics Score: 4349 Physics Score: 8773 Combined Score: 1516 Overclocking This card already comes with an overclock of 1200Mhz from 1050MHz but doesn't go much above that in MSI AB. It wouldnt allow voltage increase and only let me set the power target to 110%, this gave me an OC of +80 on the core and +30 on the memory. This inst a big issue as most other 360's have much lower clock speeds. Fan Noise The fan noise is noticeably loud and hits 72dB under full load but isn't to bad on idle and is only 62dB. Temps Overall the temps are very good for this small cooler, at idle it's 36°C and when gaming stays around 60°C. During testing it hit a maximum of 62°C. Conclusion Pros Good for competitive games at 1080p, plays almost any game at 1080p, small form factor, nice cooler, good factory OC, low clock speeds on idle. Cons Loud fan, average performance compared to 750ti and 260x, 500W minimum PSU, V-ram easily filled, bad overclocker. YouTube Video Review 4K: Link Here are some pics
