Serious bang for buck at this price point ($90 each)

I bought two of these from this seller and I run them in crossfire for supported applications. I have custom water cooling in all of my machines but I bought these to play around with crossfire and tinker, so didn’t want to spend much to cool them. I used cheap CPU water blocks but thanks to the HBM memory instead of GDDR that is right on the die as well and is cooled by the same block. I put a bunch of cheap heat sinks on the VRMs and am good to go for about $35 total invested into the water cooling of both. Hard to beat that. With the stock heatsink and fans these things are very large, but were quiet unless I had to really ramp up the fan speed to keep temps down during a long gaming session or something. For the most part that didn’t happen. Now that I have them watercooled I overclocked them (memory as well as core clocks) farther with bios mods and the performance boost has been very nice. If you want a budget card and have a PSU that can support the watts and the 2x 8-pin connectors, this is the most performance you can get for $90. Beats my rx 580s and gtx 1060s, comes very close to my GTX 980ti and 1070, at half the cost.Read full review
