Like I said in the title, this card is great! Handles all the games I play like nothing which I'm very happy with! The highest temps I've seen with this card at stock were 67degrees, with the memory temps being basically the same which is a very good result! I undervolted the card and lowered the power draw by about 20-40watts and only lost 1-2fps in the games I play and lowered overall temps by another 6-9 degrees. So I highly recommend undervolting this card. The card is also very quiet with the fans ramping up to 1700rpm at that 67 degrees at stock I mentioned earlier and I noticed absolutely no coil whine whatsoever. The only downside with the Eagle OC is that the power limit is capped at 100% (which I suppose is to be expected from one of the uhhhhh "cheaper" models) so you're not going to be getting a whole lot of anything with overclocking. But if you're like me and you don't care about that at all then that's obviously not a dealbreaker :p Lastly about the card, the GPU support mount that Gigabyte went for is actually really good! It takes more work to set up since you're screwing it into the card, but it's still quick and easy and it also seems like a much better solution than what the other vendors go for. It's definitely better than the previous solution Gigabyte went for. I didn't end up using the adapter cable that comes with the card as I ended up using the native 12v2x6 cable that came with my PSU. Either way, the plug that goes into the GPU power slot (like I imagine the adapter cable is like) is... QUITE TIGHT as I've read it should be. It surprised me a little at first because I'm used to the more easy-to-fit 6/8 pin connectors, but once it's in there IT'S IN THERE. Not that you really have to worry about melting cables - the power draw isn't really high enough to melt anything in the first place anyway. Well I really think and hope at least lol Overall the card is definitely worth picking up!
