Pros: Boost clock is higher than whats on the box , in mass effect andromeda it boost to 1898 on its own with no overclock . Super Quiet , if you want a card that is quiet this one is for you , on less demanding games the card doesn't even kick in the fans unless your over 60 c According to MSI website the thermal rating for this card is 91C that kinda crazy , but don't worry it doesn't come close to getting that hot . So like i said on its own it boost to 1898 and the temps were at 74C, since the fans are so quiet i added a higher fan curve to it and 50 plus on the boost clock . Temps stayed the same fan at 88 percent still couldn't hear a thing boost clock was at 1988. I don't mess around with voltages or anything crazy like that just a simple easy boost , keep in mind that you can get higher clock speeds on any card as long as you can keep temps from thermal throttling your good , but not all games gain huge amounts for FPS from it .
Cons: So i love the card these are more for peeps that are looking for such things 1. No rgb lighting , that is basically a buyers choice , so if you want rgb wait for the next wave of custom ti to come out 2. Black and White color , again buyer preference. 3. No back Plate , doesn't bother me could bother you
Overall Review: I am really happy with my purchase , first ever MSI card i have ever bought . I've alway stuck with EVGA or Zotac for cards. But i have owned plenty of msi motherboards and they have never disappointed me. MSI offers a 3 year warranty when you register your card online make sure you do that , always register all your products kids . Hope my review helps you guys decide , oh and don't bother thinking about running SLI with these you wont need too. On a Acer34x UltraWide 100 hz Monitor on Mass Effect on Ultra Settings i get 74-120 FPS average . Crysis 3 90-120 FPS on Ultra Settings .
