Ranked in these QuestionsQuestion Ranking
Pros
Pro Top clock while running cool
This card can run at constant 2030Mhz on the GPU and +300 or more on the VRAM.
Because is watercooled it runs real cold and keeps those clocks up.
Pro It will keep your case cool. All heat will be exhausted out of the case
Very convenient to keep your PC cool during stress, specially when using the GPU and CPU at the same time (render using an app while working in blender cycles)
Pro Has a backplate
Pro Great card second hand
Still expensive new. For as low as 800/900 dollars you can find this card second hand. This one is really hard to beat.
I got mine for 760 Euro in Austria.
Cons
Con The stock fan is obnoxiously loud
Even at 40% speed you can hear a whine. The provided stock fan is really not good.
I've installed a fan header and swapped to a Noctua 3000RPM (but only need it running at half that)
