BEAST of a card
Reviewed by Jerome. Review Posted 14/06/2014
I waited 5-6 weeks for this card to come in to stock. Other wWebsites like had this, plus other, more expensive, editions of this card but I wanted to get it from Dabs as it was free delivery. Anyway, one thing to note is that this card is big, bigger than the Asus and XFX so bear that in mind. So make sure your case has room. Anyway, Performance wise ... what can I say. It makes games like BF4, Crysis 3 and Watch Dogs look the way the developers intended. Temps are cool and the light up feature from blue to red (when hot) is very nice. If you have the cash BUY if you want a similar card but not as big, and cheaper, then the Asus 290 may do nicely. Still thinking if I should buy another one now!
