    Kwaai, how is your Myst running?

    @Wesley Is the PowerColor 7790 a better buy than the 7850 atm?

    Loving it, although it does get a bit loud because I use a custom profile with afterburner...turning the volume up and that disappears though .

    I know! As soon as you startup your game, the GPU sounds like it's going to take off! Mine is running like a dream!! Except for the noise part...

    No. The HD7850 has a 256-bit bus size, 2GB of VRAM and has a lot more cores and shaders, which gives it around 20% higher performance minimum. I'd go for that instead if you have the money. If you only have just under R1600 to spend though, the HD7790 is a bargain.
