Review: Best High End Card For The Price, But This Design Has Bad Default Cooling. - Simply put: If you don't have the money to spend nearly a thousand dollars for the best graphics card out there, this card for 200$ is the next best thing. Its a great card for playing games at 1080p on high to ultra settings. And you can play a good amount of modern games at 1440p with high settings all while getting smooth 60 FPS. This is the best high end card available right now for the price. And for 4GB vram is more than enough for most games, unless you want the super high detail some games carry, in which case, you should spend more for the 8GB model. Since those setting are purely based on vram. UPDATE Okay after spending sometime with this card, I ran into one major issue, overheating. As you might have read elsewhere, this card gets very hot, very fast. It quickly goes to 80-84 degrees, and if you don't have good airflow in your case, the card will overheat and cause a black screen crash, forcing you to hard reset the PC. I have a cheap old case I've been using for a very long time. The card's limit is 90 degrees. The problem is in the design that MSI has done. The default cooling method has the fans on the card not spinning while idle, and the fans turn one once the card goes over 60 degrees. The problem is, because the card gets hot fast, the fans don't spin fast enough to cool the heat. It doesn't even spin at 100 percent unless its about to crash. Not good. Fortunately there is a fix, I downloaded MSI Afterburner program. It's completely free and widely used. I used this program to create a custom fan profile to manual adjust the cooling method. I have the fans always spinning at 40 percent while idle, which you hardly hear, and the fans spin at 100 percent once it goes over 60 degrees. The result is idle temps at 30-35 and load temps at 65-70, and 75 at most. So my black screen crashes have stopped. Was thinking about taking a star away for the poor cooling design, but the benefits from the card are still great, so I'll keep it at 5 stars... for now. Review: Overclocks very well, was able to attain 1.4 Ghz on air cooling. - First thing I did after installing all drivers was to see its overclock limits. So far I've been able to overclock: GPU: 1405mhz VRAM: 2200mhz Cooling: Air Core voltage: 1250mV Original clock setting: GPU: 1303mhz VRAM: 2000mhz Core voltage: 1081mV If you want to overclock this card past 1400mhz, make sure you put it on water cooling, and yes, it's true this card uses a huge amount of power if you decide to overclock it. It uses an 8-pin power connector so under full load, the original manufacture settings peaked at 180 watts (yes, I know they claim 150 watts, but real world reviews shows that these cards suck more power out of the PCIe slots than the claimed 75 watts). Overclocked, I was peaking at 270 watts under full load. I'm using a 725 Watt PSU (the 12 volt rail alone provides 576 watts - more than enough for both power hungry CPU and GPU) For some odd reason, this card begins to act weird near 60 degrees C. So your best bet is to keep it happy and cool below 55 degrees C. Make sure your fan speed settings are manually set according to temperature, the default zero-spin quiet operation on a card like this is a bad thing. It puts out tons of heat quickly. Within seconds it can shoot from 37 degrees C. to 55+ degrees. Overall it's an excellent card so far, the only thing is AMD isn't very keen on keeping bugs out of their drivers and utility software, but the hardware is fine. I've had my mouse pointer morph into some odd black box, then I googled and found out other people were having this problem too. I went directly to AMD's website and installed their latest drivers and that black box disappeared. Just make sure you're up to date (up to minute) with the drivers for this card, because it's kind of finicky. I'm running Windows 7 Pro x64, btw. Just keep this furnace happy by keeping the fans spinning (NO ZERO SPIN! bad bad bad!) and drivers up to date. I keep mine at a minimum of 750rpm at all times. These fans can hit 2500-2600 rpm at full speed. As for overclocking software, I'm using MSI Afterburner, but I'm also using Crimson to turn on features like: AMD Freesync and Virtual Super Resolution. AMD has their own overclocking software that comes with the drivers called Wattman, but I'm experienced in overclocking with MSI's Afterburner so I use it instead.

These sellers buy out all the stock from Amazon themselves, and then add 100 dollars to the price. The MSRP is 199 (4GB), and 239 (8GB). Don't get fooled into thinking you have to buy because of urgency. Wait till Amazon have them in stock. Even better... wait for the better cooled versions rather than the reference that will be around the same price as the reference. **Q: Can this run roblox at 60 fps?** A: oh boy it will run roblox at 1000 fps but roblox will not allow anything above 60 so yeah it 1000% will **Q: Is it safe to assume that this be compatible with the msi 970 gaming motherboard?** A: Yes. I actually have that setting.Check the pcparts website so you can run your build for compatibility issues. **Q: What type of motherboard is recommended. i have a rosewill srm 01 as my case ?** A: You need a PCI-E Slot and ideally a 16x slot (PCI-E 3.0). If you have an older motherboard, you probably can still slot it into that, but I would be careful and double check. I have mine in an older board as a holdover until I finish gathering the rest of the parts for a new build and it works alright for now. Regarding your case and how well it will fit, the short answer is: I don't know, you will have to do some measurements. The card description says its dimensions are 6.8" long by 4.6" wide (i.e. tall) so, you'll have to see if you have clearance for it inside the case. It will probably fit, but it will depend on where the motherboard sits and where the PCI-E slot is. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best High End Card For The Price, But This Design Has Bad Default Cooling. *by M***N on January 16, 2017* Simply put: If you don't have the money to spend nearly a thousand dollars for the best graphics card out there, this card for 200$ is the next best thing.
