I ordered two of these cards as in SLI they are more powerful than a GTX 980 and cost only a few quid more.
I will warn anybody buying them though to make sure you Motherboards Bios is updated as mine didn't recognise the cards when I installed them, had to put my old card back in and update the Bios ( my board is a Gigabyte X79-UD3) and I am running an i7 3820@ 3.60GHZ, 16GB of DDR3 Ram
Once it was updated the card ran like a dream, very quite and and fans only come on when needed. There is also some software provide on the install CD so you can control the fans manually if needed.
Also note that this is a large card and takes up a lot of space so make sure you have the space to fit it and if you are going to go the SLI road make sure you have a SLI bridge as they don't supply one with that card which I did think was a bit cheap of them.
Clocked Middle-earth Shadow of Mordor at an average 100+ FPS on a mix of high and ultra settings, and on the in game benchmark it got a top FPS of 189 and the lowest was 87.
As any gamers out there will know Shadow of Mordor is a demanding game when it comes to GPU performance so I was pleasantly surprised by the FPS score
Overall a fantastic card and would recommend it. If you have the money buy two as in SLI you will have no issues running GTA V when it comes out on the 14th of this month or The Witcher 3 which is the reason I bought these cards.
