Pros: Extremely cold in my rig! 39°C idle and the maximum temp is only 79°C with full load and overclocked. Never got a video card this cold. Don't be fooled by the 1000MHz GPU core speed. This card is built for overclocking if you have the right, quality parts in your case. Card comes with an ASUS Tweak software where you can set the GPU speed, GPU voltage and Memory speed in no time. Running on 1070Mhz, memory 5400MHz and I set all my games to ULTRA high settings. No glitch no problem.
Cons: None.
Overall Review: I'm a huge DIABLO fan since the first release came out in the 90's and funny thing, you should not overclock your card for Diablo III otherwise everything will be so fast can't even follow the kills and happenings lol... Got this card on shell shocker deal with rebate for only $279.99. Can't beat that.
