- I have 2 of these cards running in SLI and they run pretty cool just make sure to install a program to control the fans (MSI Afterburner) because the auto feature just keeps the fans running at 30% 100% of the time. They run BF3, Skyrim, MW3, and Starcraft 2 maxed out on 1080p at around 40 - 60 fps, those are the only games I have tried out. Message me for any questions you may have.
- There are better cards out there and unless you have a huge bank account that allows you to buy what ever you want this card hits the mark.I've run Tribes Ascend at 720P and highest settings without a hitch. The only issue, not much of one at that, I have is that I read in reviews I could've gone with the model that was $20 cheaper and pushed it to the same limits I can get from this card. Without actually having one of those cards for testing though I am completely satisified with my purchase.The fan noise is non existant and from what I could see the thing stays cool under pressure. Obviously at 720P I'm not pushing this card to hard but for what I'm running and what I'm expecting this card…
