Biggest graphics card I've ever used!

I have a monitor with the AMD freesync feature, so I wanted to switch from a good Nvidia card (970) to this good AMD card. It is not what I'd call a big upgrade but I did it more for the compatibility with my monitor. When I unwrapped it I was amazed at how huge it is! I have a NZXT H440 Mid-Tower Case and surprisingly I had to remove one of the HD trays to fit the extraordinary length of this card in there! Once installed I haven't noticed it at all, which is a good thing. I think it is supposed to have the option to change the color and effects of the LEDs but I haven't bothered with that yet. Performance wize, you can find in-depth comparisons all over the web but I will just say that all of the games I already had installed play just fine on max settings Skyrim: Enhanced Edition at QHD resolution looks and runs fantastic. All good cards are way over-priced right now due to data mining use, so if you are simply a gamer like me you will have to pay more than just a year or so ago. I figured that the data mining use of graphics cards will likely increase for the foreseeable future so when I found this deal on eBay I jumped on it. Not a great price (maybe 50.00 more than for the same card new a year ago), but better than most are going for.Read full review
