" ... Every game I've tested so far has been able to keep above 60 FPS on ultra settings including Arma 3, GTA 5, and PUBG. ... Using a Oculus Rift with all games at the highest settings has also not produced any problems at all, so this GPU is a workhorse. ... "

" ... It was easy to install in the case and so far, no issues with graphics or lag. ... "

" ... I bought this, along with a similar Asus GTX 1080 for mining. ... "
" ... Everything I was looking for in a 1080. ... "
" ... I got it and it was great atleast i thought it was i didn't notice that i wasn't getting FPS that a 1080 should have been but i figured it could just be un optimized games, but after awhile i replaced my cpu and motherboard and so finally i am here my graphics card is really underperforming compared to my old 980ti and this is suppost to be better in every way could just be bad luck but still ... "
" ... Boiii this will guarantee you 60fps+ at 1440p resolution with max settings on any game. ... Overall I recommend this product for you 144hz or 2k/4k gamers. ... "
" ... This variant of the GTX 1080 is ENORMOUS! ... "
" ... For the $$ this is a solid 1080. ... "
" ... The card performs extremely well for 1080p 144 hz gaming at high/ultra (depending on the game). ... For 144 hz gaming, I would recommend a gtx 1080 over 1070 in order to still play at ultra settings. ... "
" ... I got this card affter the video card prices skyrocketed and then went on sale but I'm glad I got it because it's one hell of a upgrade from the 560ti I was using. ... "

" ... I bought this card from TheTechGroup under the impression that I would be receiving a brand new card but that was not the case which wouldn’t have been a huge deal but upon installing this on my brand new Asus ROG strix B350f mobo it failed to post. ... "
" ... This product worked for 1 day & then stopped! ... I was required to pay GeekSquad for help, but all the tests they ran said it was the unit that was broke!! ... I've been trying to get a replacement or my money back, but it's been an argument for days. ... so they extended the time till it was beyond the 30 days! ... "

" ... It started showing green discolorations and lines in my screen a little over a month after purchase. ... "
" ... Update** 8/24 ... "

" ... So I set the fan speeds to max and the fans had a screeching noise that I don't think anyone could stand, also they coil whining on this GPU may be the worst of all 1080's . ... "
" ... Maybe I just got a bad card but I started getting graphical glitches and the fans were really loud when the card ramped up. ... "
" ... The first issue was that the fans were making grinding noises. ... "
" ... The fan is defective, it makes an annoying clicking sound whenever it's underload and it's loud and annoying. ... "
" ... -Fans make grinding sounds, audible at low RPMs. ... It’s not audible at 33%, probably because the wind sounds cover it. ... "
" ... At first I was all excited to get this card that I put up with the fact that the fans made a grinding noise as they cycled from off to on with the fan stop functionality. ... I spent $650 on a video card with fan stop functionality as it advertised to be quiet and instead I get an annoying grinding noise that comes and goes. ... I'd rather have a loud fan noise, at least then it wouldn't sound like something is broke. ... "
