its a MSI R7950-2PMD3GD5/OC its runs fine ish, when playing on games like assetto corsa its runs at 90-97 degrees 

that card shares the same circuit board as the HD7970

 

just a lower version of the HD7970 or R9 280X

 

also your inside of your PC needs some dusting

Hey, so recently i was online looking at my gpu ans saw a picture and i noticed mine was missing the solder  http://gyazo.com/81f2c73953d13cb850884fb8d72034e9

should i return it?

If it works fine then its a real GPU. The differences could be from having a different PCB revision or whatever.

*Risky click of the day*

manufacturer uses a reference design PCB

 

depending on the model

 

some may have lesser components or lesser VRMs or VRAM

 

so yea its normal

That card is probably due for some fresh thermal paste and pads if its hitting those temps.

In addition to some simple dusting of course.

My reference 7970 was hitting 90C consistently and throttling like a nut until I tore it apart.

He might have been talking 90°f. It would be fried if its hitting 90°c without crashing the driver.

AMD GPUs tank 90 degrees

 

i mean the 290/X ref goes up to 95 degrees

If it was hitting 90f then that's a golden card lol

7900s routinely hit high 80s and 90s with little to no trouble. Its the VRM temps that cause them to throttle most of the time, which can easily hit 110C before collapsing.

They rebound from heat really easily too.
