" ... Ever since the first MSI card I ever got, a GTX 760 several years ago, I have been impressed with the quality and ingenuity of their designs, and the ease of using their additional apps to get the best performance. ... With this new generation of cards and fan designs, they still continue to impress! ... "
" ... Moreso, I can't believe how HUGE the difference, considering that this is in a computer I built 8 years ago and haven't barely changed since, other than also upgrading my ram when I bought this card. ... "
" ... Awesome product, worked just as described. ... "
" ... You should have NO problem. ... "
" ... I'm a casual gamer, and only upgrade every few years. ... "

" ... The heatsink has a lot of mass which I think allows effective cooling with the single fan. ... "
" ... With that being said, the cooling is really nice also, under stress it doesn't go over 50 Celsius, (with bad cable management), letting me game over 2 hours still having cool temperatures and great frames. ... "

" ... Excellent without breaking the bank . ... "
" ... Performs above my expectations as of now and is of very sturdy build with beautiful design. ... "
" ... Especially if you have a windowed case. ... "

" ... It is so high quality in its construction. ... It is heavy and solid. ... "
" ... For example, both 1060s (and an RX480) bottleneck roughly 20+ FPS with my FX6300 Build. ... "
" ... Solid (both physically and metaphorically) product. ... "
" ... It's over 10" long, so make sure it fits in your case w/o hitting your harddrive bay. ... "

" ... A very large GC so if you are going to get this one make sure you have a decent size case. ... "
" ... I have a mid tower case, did barely manage to fit it in there, but it worked like a charm. ... "
" ... All of the top brands make good cards, but this has also proven to be one of the quietest due to it's well designed thermal solution. ... "
" ... I wanted a reliable and very quiet card that would fit into my case, a Fractal Design Node 304, which it does barely. ... "
" ... so far so good, by a very small margin it managed to fit my case, wasn't expecting it to be so big, it is a HUGE piece of hardware, about 4 times larger than my 750 ti ... "
" ... If you're on a budget at around 200 dollars and don't particular want your case running hot the 1060 3GB fits perfectly. ... "
