At the moment, I play Need for Speed Rivals with about 45-60 fps on graphics setting "Ultra". Even downsampling of WQHD is no problem with graphics setting "Ultra". In addition, the graphics card is very quiet. What I noticed is negative, is that the graphics card at various auslastenden benchmarks (eg 3DMark) the whistling and chirping begins what is disturbing. However, these sounds create short Zeit.Tatsächlich remains the map also generally very cool (in the desktop operating about 30 ° C and during games / benchmarks about 50-70 ° C). However, I must say that the temperatures are still quite high in games, because I own a mini-ATX case that can not be cool as well.
Installation is very easy taken for granted at itself. However, the card to stabilize the boost clock and to tuning reserves has to have a 6-pin power connector. This must be connected mandatory, otherwise the PC will not boot and just a few beeps are heard in succession.
Failures so far I could record two with the graphics card. Once while I played PES 2014, and the other time when I did not overclocked using the supplied GpuTweak but with NVidia Inspector, and by the failure of debt itself.
I can not say much because I do not have power meter on the power consumption, unfortunately. But it works fine with my HP PSU with 300W.
All in all it was a very worthwhile purchase, which I am very satisfied. The only (small) drawback is for me the whistle / chirping under load. The advantages (low power consumption, much graphics performance, overclocking reserves) predominate.
