After adjusting the fan profile, I was able to peak at 1985mhz and hold a steady 1911mhz 80C after several minutes of stress testing.īasically, I was hitting HIGHER than the SC version of this cards rated speeds after applying $5 worth of thermal compound. I removed the cooling solution and applied some Arctic MX-2 thermal paste to the GPU die and memory. I was hitting 85C while stress testing at 100% load, but core was still a steady 1700mhz. Allows you to set power limit to +116% and adjust thermal limits. Overall Review: I loaded up MSI afterburner for some testing. 1440p might be a different story, but again just adjust things down from 100% max settings to 85% max and you should be fine. It's VERY rare that you will max out 3gb of memory at 1080p for MAX settings. If you are hitting your limits, just adjust textures down a notch. Had to use a rebate to bring the price down ģgb* of video memory [seriously, for 1080p gaming that is plenty. PLENTY of power for todays games at a mix of Ultra / high settings 60fps. Pros: Small and compact - fits in many cases. After creating a fan curve, Fallout 4, modded to kingdom come on ultra and its getting 55-60 FPS at 56c - 63c. Also, I've found that, if possible, turning on v-sync in games seems to keep temps down a tad. With PX you can set your own fan curve to keep temps downs before they get high. Without it the temps started creeping up around 70c+ before the fan really started kicking in. As I mentioned, you're going to want to download the fan control software called Precision X from EVGA. Overall Review: -Anyone in need of a quick replacement/upgrade I strongly recommend this card. Thought it might be fun to get it a brother Ha! Nowhere near as future proof as its big brothers but that is to be expected I don't like having extra software running in the background but the EVGA fan software seems a necessary evil at this point. Good cooling once paired with the EVGA Precision X fan control software (See other thoughts)Ĭons: -At the time of writing this the Nvidia driver still seem young. Handles every game I've thrown at it like it was nothing. Pros: -An incredible value for the money.
