Awesome Card

EVGA GeForce GTX 670 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card 02G-P4-2670-KR
EVGA GeForce GTX 670 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card 02G-P4-2670-KR

Pros: I use this card for both Playing games (Skyrim mostly lately) and crunching SETI. I have the card Overclocked at +80/+300 and Core Voltage at +100. Running full out the temps stay mostly around 60-65C

Cons: I did not have enough money to afford 2.

Overall Review: I think some of the problems might stem from the core voltage being too low, taking it up to the max seems to keep the card running fine.

Most Critical Review

Not working

Pros: Looks pretty

Cons: Installed into a ASUS Tuf Gaming X-570 Plus, and as soon as I push the power button the Ram check light turns on and the machine does not boot. Tried it with only one stick and still the same problem.

Overall Review: Not recommended for a Ryzen 5000 series build.

Replaced an older version that I bought several years ago

Pros: Has both a quick charge port and a normal port Came with the USB-C cable that I wanted for the new phone.

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: It will not get that much use as I normally keep my phone besides the computer and do not travel much.

Worked great for five days

Pros: Beautiful picture, no dead pixels.

Cons: Was working on the computer when all of a sudden the screen turned off and I heard the disconnect sound. It will not power back up at all, even on a different outlet. I temporarily lost the display ports on my GTX-1070, the DVI still worked. That was fixed by a reboot. Working on returning it for replacement.
