Quality product 23 May 2014
By Wei Z. - Published on Amazon.com

I picked this up after the recent price drop in AMD cards. I picked one reference card which was loud like jet airplant. I also saw other bad reivews on this, so I was a little hesitant. Switching from NVIDIA(Upgraded from Gigabyte GTX 770 Windforce, Gigabyte windforce Fan) to AMD was easy, and I haven't had any driver problems others had since I did new install of windows 7 64 bit and AMD 14.4 whql driver. The card can max out Thief at 1080p, stay cool, and keep the framerate buttery. Runs bf4 on ultra around 110fps when Mantle enabled. Gets around 73c after gaming for a few hours. Experienced a 20+Fps improvement in all games from GTX770.

No regrets. Excellent card. Maybe Gigabyte improve the quality or/and AMD provide good drivers. Will buy another one if price drop more.I guess the real test will be in a couple weeks when Watch Dogs comes out. I'll update this review if I run into any problems with the card.

I did overclock it, 1200Mhz/1380Mhz for core/Ram with +100mv. Temp rises up to 83c for full load. (Room temp: 23c)

My spec: (for anyone curious)

Case: Rosewill Blackhawk Gaming Mid-ATX
Mobo: MSI msi z77a-g45
CPU: Intel I7 3770K
Ram: Corsair vengeance 8gb 1600
PSU: Rosewill 1000W lighting
CPU cooler: Cooler Master Seidon 120V all in one Liquid

Good, but quality control seems to have limited it from being great. 24 Mar 2014

Love how well this thing works. If only the first one had worked for more than 2 weeks.
The replacement, that I am using now, has been running for 5 weeks and seems to be here to stay.

I use it to power a 3x 1080p eyefinity rig. Most games are above 30FPS even with all settings on. DX11 games are 60+ fps with all settings on.

I would give it a 4.5, but that isnt allowed here.

GREAT card. I got this to replace my other 290X 7 May 2014

This thing is WICKED quiet compared to the reference 290X. Night and day. Let's just say that my wife complained about the other 290X and hasn't said a word about this one.

This thing is a work horse! 8 July 2014
By vinchinzo - Published on Amazon.com

Got it for mining and ended up getting back into gaming. It runs hot but the fans do a good job keeping it cool. I thought it was louder than others mentioned but then I realized it was my cheap CPU fan trying to keep my AMD processor cool with all the dust that was clogging it from my room. After taking care of the dust issue, the noise went down and it was not the GPU. If the price drops, looking to get another one to Crossfire, if not I might have to jump back over to the Nvidia bandwagon. Got to say AMD is getting better with their software.

Works awesomely. has a ton of cooling power and easily maxes all games. even CryEngine 3. (2560x1440p) 17 Jun 2014
By Spartan945 - Published on Amazon.com

When I was getting this card I had recently upgraded from 1080P to 1440P (2560x1440 pixels on my main monitor with a second monitor for things like itunes and teamspeak in 1080p, or even playing more than one game at once!). My old Gigabyte Nvidia Geforce 680 GTX was awesome though when I swapped to the higher resolution it struggled, so I thought I should look into Gigabyte again for an upgrade. I had been looking at comparisons between many cards and found this one was at the top of the list and cheaper than it's Nvidia counterpart. It wasn't the best at everything but all but two of the cards above it on average where dual GPU setups. Gigabyte's price always makes it well worth it and despite what you'd think, they make very durable cards. The cooling is fantastic. On my old card, it had the same cooling system, which was way more than it needed, but this card actually uses all of it! (only if you are overclocking of course). As it is with overclocked cards, I wanted to overclock it more, (as they are better designed for overclocking). My results have come up with this for the best: (yes I used this to answer someone's question, figured I should post it in my review!)

"Does it overclock well?"

From my experience, It is highly depending on the game you are playing. But it is most stable at 1080 MHz core clock, +3 max power, +50 mV and 1350 MHz memory clock (5400 Mb/s). I wound up using MSI Afterburner because some of the options were locked in the Gigabyte OC Guru. rather, a lot of them were. Card is awesome though! Just know this issue is because it does not use GPU Boost 2.0 like Nvidia's, so it doesn't have two clock settings, just the one.

The Highest I've ever had it stable at was 1140 MHz core, +100 max power, +100 mV, and 1500 MHz memory. the memory can be OC'd to that pretty easily though. Of my tests over the last 3-4 months, I've only had the card reset twice, otherwise I just throttled it down when I saw "snow flaking". it crashed at 1175 MHz which is what I read on some online article as it's max. that's during a benchmark, not actual gaming in Cry Engine 3 (MechWarrior Online and Star Citizen: Arena Commander Pre-alpha module) or Final Fantasy XIV: ARR, which has phenomenal graphics at 2560x1440. Just some examples of what I tested it on. Rust is another, but it snow flakes easy on it. On FF it took a few hours to an entire day of 1140 MHz before any snow flaking occurred. (I'm paranoid so at any snow flaking I lower the OC).

P.S. if it means anything to anyone, I'm running an AMD FX-8350 eight core 4GHz stock (4.2 turbo) , OCing the turbo core to 4.4 GHz. 16 GB of RAM (Kingston HyperX 4x4 GB 2400 Mhz) at 1833 MHz, Samsung 840 Evo 1TB SSD, ASUS ROG Crosshair Formula - Z Motherboard, Corsair GS700 PS, Corsair H90 Heatsink
