I have an XFX Core Edition Radeon HD 7950 3GB DDR5… (etc.)

People always told me to evade xfx cards, and I don’t know about the 79xx cards, but I own a 7850 Core Edition (Same “ghost” cooler as the 7950), as that was the only card i didn’t have to wait 3 months to get (Here in Argentina, due to import restrictions, they can easily take 45 days to clear customs…)
I’m running it at -I 18 (Never been able to get it past that), 1200/1250 +20 powertune and getting a constant 385KH/s @82C and fan hard limited (via trixx) to 90%.
Its been running for 3 months so far, with very short resting times due to power/internet outages, and hasn’t failed me once…
I’m either lucky, or the mathematical exception that confirms the “XFX suck for mining” rule.
