I have a dual monitor setup, one to the Mobo, and one to the Vid card. The Mobo one was the one in use. the Vid card one was 'secondary' monitor. At first boot, the secondary monitor didn't wake up. It wasn't till after I got the drivers installed that it came to life.

Fast - But then it better be for the price huh, QUIET! OMG is it quiet, SILENT quiet; Fans don't run until 60 degC; and when they do, still can barely hear them; Simply AMAZING, Current Ambient temp is 26c and the card is 38c - No Fans, I'm not much of a gamer, but the games I do play are ultra...

Mail in Rebate wouldn't work :

I tried contacting MSI and have yet to receive ANY type of response ( I will not accept a refurbished product because I purchased a new product for a reason; I don't want Lice, Dust-Mites, fleas, cockroaches or any other pests delivered to me in a refurb )...

Decent card - plays most games with good fps ( Issues with GTA 5 loading from SSD; has issues loading textures quickly enough but that is likely a poor console port issue

Stutters like it is in SLI Mode from time to time.. LEDs do not work as advertised ( You can change the MSI Logo color, but none of the other LEDs can be changed ); I set color 1 to blue and color 2 to green; MSI appeared blue but there was no green to be seen ( only a lot of red )..

I purchased two of these cards to SLI. Personally I would just use one of these cards, it has enough power to run all the games that I have made it run. Two looks cool but that is about it.

Nothing in the box fir the advertised ￡43 cash back. Also the disks were missing from the box so no drivers or control software. The card also had trouble being recognised. Not exactly a quality experience.

Terrific performance; Runs cool and quiet; Strong afterburner driver software; Attractive lighting with many customization options

Not the fastest card on the market; Limited availability; Some lighting configuration limitations

Exactly what I wanted to be pushing out some fast HD graphics at speed and so far reliable,has given myself that extra gaming edge I needed

Very fast card. Temps are okay. Plays games at 1440p with good frame rates

Switched from an MSI GTX980. After about 3 weeks of use, I can say the following: + Quiet even under load in gaming mode. + Equivalent power consumption gtx980. + PERFORMANCE, found it hard to imagine that there would be such a difference between one generation. - The price.
