Comment:
Nice card, lots of graphics juice (as you already know). Needed to get and install the latest drivers from the net. But the card was so long and wide I had to unscrew and slide my 3.5 disk bay back and remove my 220mm fan in my Zalman LQ 1000 case. The waterblock seemed very solid, and saved me the hassle of finding one and mounting one myself, for which I am grateful (the major purchase reason). The gigabyte mobo utility program EasyTune6 tries to access the video driver for overclocking purposes, but cannot for this Radeon card, so posts a stupid dialog every time you boot. No way to disable it. Bad gigabyte software I know, but also bad Radeon driver for not using the standard software interface (EasyTune worked fine with my old Nvidia card). I uninstalled the gigabyte software to avoid the dialog hassle. Next time I would probably go for an nvidia card/driver, if a premounted water block was available.
