The GIGABYTE GV-R9285WF2OC-2GD is powered by a Radeon R9 285, the latest AMD GPU designed to play demanding PC games at better detailed resolution than any card in its class. Based on highly acclaimed AMD GCN architecture and boasting support for DirectX 11.2, the Radeon R9 285 gives you the power to enjoy today’s hottest games — and tomorrow’s, keeping you in the fight whatever the circumstances. With Ultra Resolution Gaming you can leave HD in the dust by gaming on displays much, much larger. Whether using a 4k monitor or combining multiple HD monitors, you’ll get an expansive experience that’s truly out of sight. A rich set of AMD innovative technologies is included, such as App Acceleration, AMD PowerTune, AMD ZeroCore, and AMD HD3D technology. With these technology advancements, you'll get more than one way to elevate your gaming experience.

This model is factory-overclocked to 973MHz Boost Clock (918MHz for reference design) to offer more graphics power out of the box. The exclusive WINDFORCE 2X cooling solution with anti-turbulence fin keeps your card cool and quiet even during extended game sessions, while the Ultra Durable VGA design ensures the industry-leading durability and reliability critical for heavy-duty use.

  • newegg WINDFORCE 2X Anti-turbulence Inclined fin The WINDFORCE 2X parallel-inclined fin design is equipped with two ultra PWM fans and two copper heat pipes. This design enlarges the air channel on the graphics card vents, and creates a more effective airflow system in the chassis.
  • newegg Ultra Durable VGA The Ultra Durable VGA design provides a dramatic cooling effect on lowering both the GPU's and the memory's temperatures by doubling the copper inner layer of the PCB. It reduces voltage ripples in normal and transient states, thus effectively lowering noise and ensuring higher overclocking capability. The Ultra Durable VGA board also allows more bandwidth for electron passage and reduces circuit impedance. The less circuit impedance, the more stable flow of current; this can effectively improve the power efficiency.
  • newegg AMD FreeSync technology FreeSync does not need to poll or wait on the display in order to determine when it’s safe to send the next frame to the monitor. FreeSync uses industry-standard DisplayPort Adaptive-Sync protocols to pre-negotiate supported min/max refresh rates during plug’n’play. This means frame presentation to the user will never be delayed or impaired by time-consuming two-way handshakes.
  • newegg Mantle There’s optimization, and then there’s Mantle. Games enabled with Mantle speak the language of GCN architecture to unlock revolutionary performance and image quality. (Application support is required.)
  • newegg AMD TrueAudio Technology AMD TrueAudio technology brings the world’s first programmable audio pipeline, marking a new frontier in realism for PC gamers. AMD TrueAudio technology empowers game developers with a programmable audio pipeline on the GPU, inviting them to put their unique artistic fingerprint on in-game audio in the same way that the programmable graphics pipeline brought unfettered artistic vision to PC graphics. Enabled games can feature more realistic environmental dynamics, a richer tapestry of sound effects, breathtaking directional audio, and more. AMD TrueAudio technology enhances audio realism by simulating the human brain’s perception of real-world sound, working in concert with the user’s existing audio hardware to recreate a lifelike experience.
  • newegg AMD App Acceleration Improves the performance of everyday tasks such as web browsing, office applications, and video rendering.

5 out of 5 eggsExcellent upgrade from HD 6970

Pros: This replaced my 3.5 yr old HD 6970. This card Made a huge difference. More quiet and cooler running than the stock o.c. card I had. This is a perfect card to run @ 1080p. Clocking it @ a conservative 975/1400. Still no problems, very stable.

Cons: Maybe only one. I would guess being a new card that the drivers can still be tweaked for better performance.

Other Thoughts: I was going to get the R9 280x but just couldn't see paying, at this writing, $40 more for just 2-3 more fps. Since my monitor is 1920x1080 this card will do.

4 out of 5 eggsSolid Card

Pros: The Card itself is solid, Great overclocker and never passed 70 degrees on a burn in test with an (1100) core clock and 1475 (mem clock) overclock.

The card also runs silent. (no whiney coil prob for me).

For this price with a good overclock your in the 280x/770 ballpark with the newer features of the tonga chipset.

Cons: The 285 has given me some driver issues not allowing me to install the lastest drivers (14.4 as of this date) or the beta drivers (14.7) so i had to use the 14.3's and its been stable.

Also had an issue that some new card buyers (Nvidia/AMD alike) get with crashing when streaming video but after disabling GPU Video Acceleration in chrome i've had absolutely no probs with the 285.

The driver issue could be a personal problem and not a widespread one but figured i would share anyway.

Other Thoughts: 4GB's would have made this a bit more future proof but as is now its still pretty amazing for the price point.

1 out of 5 eggsAnother unimpressive card from Gigabyte

Pros: The chip from AMD (The actual R9 285 brain) is great. Power between GTX 760 and 770, leaning towards the 770. Great price as well. On AMD's END, it is a great card. But...

Cons: On Gigabytes end, this card is just atrocious. Noisy and hot, and those are the two worst things you can have, not to mention some very noticeable coil whine.

I have a 4790K 16gb 256gb ssd 2tb hd r9 285 msi gaming 7 z97 mobo and a rosewill blackhawk ultra. The case has AMAZING airflow with like 8 fans preinstalled, as large as 230mm for three of them. 39 celcius IDLING. Load is about 82 celcius. My previous card, a GTX 680 by MSI ran about twice as cool. Also, It is extremely loud compared to a GTX 680 and my friends GTX 770.

Other Thoughts: All in all, a great card, but I feel MSI's version may take the cake for this GPU,
