Overall Review: I got this card to temporarily replace my 390x that decided to start hanging out with dodos and then bought the farm a few weeks ago. As far as video cards go, this one is adorable. Very smol card, shorter than an average banana, would be a good choice if your case is short on space. Considering the price and target market for this card, I'm very glad to see that the fan uses ball bearings. Temperature is great, fan maxed, 72C was the highest I saw at a bit above average room temperature with usage pegged at 100%. Some wins, some losses depending on the situation. Other titles, it traded blows with my old 390x. In D2 it rarely dropped below 60 FPS and mostly hovered around high 70s with only AA disabled and DOF set to low. W3 got the biggest hit, mostly maxed was into high 50s to mid 60s but took a drop in the towns as to be expected, down to around 45ish but still very playable. At 1440p, tested some of the heaviest hitters, though not completely maxed and still didn't use it all up. The 3GB of VRAM is not as bad as it sounds.

Pros: Excellent price for the performance. Registered the card to make sure to get my warranty in case of any issues and look forward to having this card for a few years. Overall Review: Overall perfect for my needs, will watch the temps but great improvement from what I had. I don't do much gaming anymore and as such it will spend most of it's time idling.

I know the fan and card are smaller but not sure about the long term for someone who games alot, where a larger cooler may help. When I turn VSYNC on the card works less and doesn't go past 65c on the games(How powerful this card is), but without vsync on when I was first wanting to see what it could do it would reach 81c and stay there. By the time I buy a 4k monitors the next generation graphics cards will be able to handle the games and VR much better anyways so figure this is a good in between.Ĭons: Been running a temp monitor on my system while playing games and it does reach 81c while gaming. I was going to get an RX480 because I didn't want to go over the $200 mark, but since they weren't available when I saw this I jumped on the opportunity and dont regret it.

Amazing that with less power this card is so fast! Running all my 1080p games at over 60fps without breaking a sweat. Pros: Upgraded from a GTX 460 and it really is night and day. After adjusting the fan profile, I was able to peak at 1985mhz and hold a steady 1911mhz 80C after several minutes of stress testing.īasically, I was hitting HIGHER than the SC version of this cards rated speeds after applying $5 worth of thermal compound. I removed the cooling solution and applied some Arctic MX-2 thermal paste to the GPU die and memory. I was hitting 85C while stress testing at 100% load, but core was still a steady 1700mhz. Allows you to set power limit to +116% and adjust thermal limits. Overall Review: I loaded up MSI afterburner for some testing. 1440p might be a different story, but again just adjust things down from 100% max settings to 85% max and you should be fine. It's VERY rare that you will max out 3gb of memory at 1080p for MAX settings. If you are hitting your limits, just adjust textures down a notch. Had to use a rebate to bring the price down ģgb* of video memory [seriously, for 1080p gaming that is plenty. PLENTY of power for todays games at a mix of Ultra / high settings 60fps. Pros: Small and compact - fits in many cases. After creating a fan curve, Fallout 4, modded to kingdom come on ultra and its getting 55-60 FPS at 56c - 63c. Also, I've found that, if possible, turning on v-sync in games seems to keep temps down a tad. With PX you can set your own fan curve to keep temps downs before they get high. Without it the temps started creeping up around 70c+ before the fan really started kicking in.

As I mentioned, you're going to want to download the fan control software called Precision X from EVGA. Overall Review: -Anyone in need of a quick replacement/upgrade I strongly recommend this card. Thought it might be fun to get it a brother Ha! Nowhere near as future proof as its big brothers but that is to be expected I don't like having extra software running in the background but the EVGA fan software seems a necessary evil at this point.

Good cooling once paired with the EVGA Precision X fan control software (See other thoughts)Ĭons: -At the time of writing this the Nvidia driver still seem young. Handles every game I've thrown at it like it was nothing. Pros: -An incredible value for the money.
