Got this card yesterday. Didn't have time to test it much, but it seems pretty good. I think the idle temps are a bit high, but this is most likely because the fans stop spinning when it's not under load. Temps and noise levels were good when I ran 3dMark though (stock clocks). I'm considering setting up a custom fan profile where the fans always spin. Those suckers last for years anyway; my previous card was an MSI Gaming 780Ti, and only had to remove the fans once to get rid of all the dust. I don't really see the point with the RGB lighting, but since it can be disabled it doesn't matter. Hoping this card will last me at least a few years.

I would have still liked to have overclocking results, not even the benchmarks, just the clocks, I can figure out roughly where the performance falls with that info. In fact that might be a good way to review the cards, stock benchmarks (with actual boost clock info) and overclocked clocks.

You're a hell of a guy, Tom. These videos are amazing and I know that I speak for the majority when I say that. I'm sorry that we're not as vocal as the more pessimistic crowd that's around, but we do appreciate what you do and the thoroughness and thoughtfulness with which you conduct every segment on your channels and your website. This is all fantastic stuff and we're sorry that you get any flack for things. I think that the amount of thumbs up that you have here is a better indicator about how most of us really feel. By all means, please cut your videos shorter, if you find yourself short on time. Everyone here can understand. On the other hand, don't cut them shorter on account of us not appreciating the content. What you've done has been extremely helpful for my recent build and for clarification on some matters as well.

Noise wise which is more silent than the 2 with the fans on say 70 degrees? The whine (electric noise) u refer to was absent from the Strix or same level? The answer to these questions will be the deciding factor for me as everything else has been well reviewed Once again thank you for more great in depth reviews

With GPU Boost 3, averages are apparently what you need to look at. I'm kinda torn about the new GPU Boost. It feels like it takes away precise overclocking in favour of "throw more shit at the wall and see what sticks" aka more juice and hope for your GPU's cooler to convice the GPU boost tech, that all is fine and dandy.

Don't really see the point in this card. Sure its custom PCB with fancy cooler but they don't clock much higher, if at all, than Founders Edition despite being able to draw 120W more. Especially for the price, not sure why its £30 more than founders edition which in itself is $100 more than MSRP. There seems to a big silicon lottery with these cards.
