I have be run this card for about a month now and could not be happier . if you be look for a upgrade , and want something that get a lot of bang for you buck , this be the card to get . just when you think this thing be do overclocking , it 'll overclock even more . I be currently only run 875mhz core\/1750mhz shader and 2185 on the memory . I bump the core voltage up to 1.05 . nowhere near what other people have clock these thing . I have to download a newer beta version of MSI Afterburner to be able to adjust the voltage . please note , if you decide to run EVGA 's OC software , you will not be able to adjust voltage -lrb- yet -rrb- . maybe they 'll have a newer version soon though . so far , I have play Crysis 2 , Metro 2033 , swtor , Resident Evil 5 . all on ultra setting with no hiccup . temperature be amazing . idle at 35c , and under max load , 70-72c . a couple of thing to consider when buy this card : Make sure you get the space to fit this thing . it be massive . Make sure you have a nice power supply . it be hungry for juice . it do take both 6pin and 8pin pcie connection . fan get a tad loud around the 70 % range . I have yet to have it run any higher then that . at 70 % speed , it still have never get above 72c . if you keep you pc case right on top of you desk like I have see some people do , fan noise might be a slight issue for you . other then that , I have zero buyer remorse .
