Excellent initial impressions
Pros: This card is definitely worth the money. It handles everything I've thrown at it with ease. The cooler seems to work great. It only hit 64C while running 3dmark. I was worried that this card may have coil whine similar to the EVGA model, but I haven't noticed any. I ran some benchmarks with my case open in order to make sure. I upgraded from a GTX 770 in order to save some power, gain performance, and quiet down my case. This card has met every requirement I set for it. This is my first experience with MSI cards, and I couldn't be happier.
Cons: The card did not come with any power cables.
It has served me well
Pros: *It has been powering my system for over 2 years. *Semi-modular *It isn't loud
Cons: The 24 and 8 pin cables are way too short. I had to spend money on extenders in order to properly manage my cables. (Who wants to run their 8 pin on top of the GPU?
