" ... Extremely easy to install into my build and I'm able to play games like Overwatch on maximum settings (although i prefer to keep them medium to high). ... "
" ... I'm running last Gen video games with no problem. ... "
" ... Runs cool and plays any game I throw at it! ... "

" ... I use this in a 700 gaming pc build. ... "
" ... every game I own can now run at max graphics settings and work perfectly. ... "
" ... Good budget gaming card. ... "
" ... I get a stable 60fps on very high or ultra settings on everything I've played so far except the Witcher 3 on ultra dips down to 54 off and on but stays right at 60 on high, and that is limited by my 60hz monitor and capped by v-sync. ... The hottest it's gotten is 65c after about 8 hours of gaming. ... As a daily but casual gamer who largely enjoys games for being a visual spectacle, I am happy with this card. ... The games all look crystal clear while playing. ... "

" ... (For the noobs)The user interface that comes on the install cd allows you to overclock the card far beyond what it can handle, so if you push the slider more than 1/4 of the way then it will crash. ... "

" ... Make your own custom fan curve and they run VERY cool. ... Just make sure to give it some fresh air in your case, don't block the fans with anything. ... "
" ... Runs cool most of the time and is very quiet. ... "
" ... Anticipated self-cooling and performance under load. ... "
" ... The reason I bought this card is because it looked like it had impressive cooling and it does not disappoint, even pushing it's limits it has never gone over 72 degrees C. While this is no super future proofing GPU like the 1080 it is a very impressive performer at this price point and honestly is about all my system is able to handle without bottle necking. ... "

" ... One thing I don't like is the gigabyte utility software, it's very clunky and not overall not good. ... "
" ... But they put in a lot of "bloatware" software designed to do screen captures, etc. ... "
" ... The Software they provide doesnt even open ... "
" ... Nobody, including Nvidia seems to know what the problem is. ... Being forced to use the generic Windows Driver will get you operational, but you will not get optimum performance. ... "
" ... So every time I turn my AOC 275Q on I have to go into nvidia utilities and adjust a random setting to make the haze disappear. ... "
" ... My only cons is that the included Gygabyte software performs poorly , increases windows startup a lot , and it does seems that is trying to update my card firmware without sucess since startup, so I had to disable this feature ... "
" ... You can google it, it's a pretty common problem. ... "
