I ride my PC for a long time, graphics cards I have therefore seen a package; but frankly I am amazed by the finish of the card, EVGA has just won a customer for a long time especially that their service is deemed the best of all.
I OC to 1254 MHz (just énormissime, it takes max 1293 but is not stable at this frequency because it may crash after several hours of play)
Noise level is the royal silence ... at the same time given the quality of cooler otherwise would have surprised me, we must admire true for realizing finishing the photos do not worship him!
Note on cooling:
the EVGA ventilation profile favors silence, so it is totally inaudible in charge (of course with the OC, it clearly changes from my old GTX 570 gainward ...) but when temperatures soar up 74-75 ° which is nothing shocking but I prefer to have slightly lower temperatures (while the fan is 45% max, it clearly shows the quality of the cooler ACX)
I modified the ventilation profile with EVGA Precision X, 60% the fan is slightly audible and the temperature exceeds 68 ° more even after hours of BF 3 or 4, Batman AO or Assassin's Creed 4 (intensive games more than BF4!)
I really recommend this for its exceptional cooling design (I mean the additional 12 + 2 phase VRM over the base map, 6 + 2, allowing a crazy OC) and generally finish .
Potential drawback: The map is huge problem for small boxes for length, width is also important it exceeds the square PCI (PCB modified to accommodate the additional phases)
PS: The card has two bios, the second, which I use to select a Power Target 115% (not really useful except for Furmark Benchmark kind that stress to death the floors of supplies), because the useless card 1254 Mhz uses only 90% of the maximum TDP games ... It's more a function for world records and marketing!
Hoping to help the hesitant!
