-Only thing that came in the box was the card and a driver disk, which was seriously outdated. Understandably, the target audience for this card probably has a PSU made within the last 5 years and has a few 8-pin connectors to spare. In the unlikely event you don't have an 8-pin, you're S.O.L.
-Maxes out almost all games at QHD, plays at 60 FPS; -With a custom fan curve that isn't loud, it stays relatively cool; Highest I've seen with stock fan settings is 175F/80C+, that was after an hour gaming online; New fan curve setup, it doesn't hit 165F after an all-nighter.
-Blower fan is ridiculously loud past 70%; My old 970 Turbo had air intakes from both sides, and it was never as loud even at 100%; While gaming and the fan is around 60%, it's barely noticeable, but the decibels quickly ramp up after 70%; While idle, it's inaudible with the other fans in my case.
