The card works well and delivers the performance I would expect. The cooler is very good and keeps the card at or below 60 degrees, especially if you are not using all the horsepower. The gigabyte software is pretty rough around the edges, it does what it's supposed to but looks dated. The new AMD driver software works well and provides some options for tweaking the card, it's pretty easy to use and well laid out. I actualy prefer it to NVidias combination of settings and the Gaming Exp software. What is missing is AMD does not have the profiles for game settings you can enable for your card.

The card itself is large, it's quite thick so it takes up a bit of room. ou most likely need a full size case for this thing. It's a beast. I like the low key styling of the card and it's solid. The fans can be quite loud when you boot up, there is plently of headroom for cooling, I don't hear it during gaming though.

One note, don't use MSI afterburner it does strange things to your performance introducing stutters and hitches. Once I uninstalled afternburner my issue went away.
