strong performer with small issues
Pros: - very good performance wise. - not too long or wide physically. -quiet.
Cons: - runs pretty warm - coil whine.( probably just my card since im the only one mentioning this)
Overall Review: i recently just got this for my new build. i have a bitfenix pandora case and i was abit concerned about its physical size considering the specs on the website tells that it shouldnt fit my case but it did fit thankfully.( website says its 143mm wide but my case's clearance only supports 135mm cards). performance on this card is very good. i run almost anything above 60 fps on ultra settings with a 1440p monitor. on some games that are more nvidia optimized i dip down to 40-50 fps but that can be fixed with driver updates. now for the cons, this card runs warm.i hit around the mid 80's on most games, but that is to be expected for amd cards. the other con would be the coil whine, now this coil whine is somewhat weird ( probably just my card) . it has a fairly audible coil whine and, for some odd reason together with the coil whine there is a somewhat vibrating sound whenever the coil whine starts ( aka on loading screens and pause menus or tabbing on games). holding on the card's cooler stops the vibrating noise but coil whine is still present. vibrating noise only happens together with the coil whine. it doesnt make sense to me, but its there. other than that small issues, i like the performance.
