This time the allure was just too strong with the 8 GB Micron memory and the fact that this card would last a good two years (at least) before I had to replace it.

took me some time to bouild the PC (because of the custom water cooler) and retourn winwow close, so when i finish the bouild, the card did not work

I Have a very hard time imagining anyone being disappointed if you're existing cards are a couple generations back.

The issue happens every time the computer is freshly started up, however, and I really am not 100% sure what the culprit is yet

Definitely notice a stark difference in rendering/framerates, and incidentally load times (Black Desert Online)

Limited time so

Out of the box, this card idles the fan at 50 degrees C or lower, and DOESN’T RUN THE FANS AT FULL

The NZXT Kraken G12 paired with a Corsair H75 allow me to push this card as hard as I please, and I've yet to see a temp higher than 60 celcius
