I really hate your forced smooth scrolling on the website. It’s awful.
Yeah
“Lets just say we were happy with the noise levels and PowerColors Split fan design really delivers in cooling and sound suppression.”
FYI – You might want to check that sentence.
Nice Review and agree this is a card many should gravitate toward if on 3-5 year run @1080p, and believing in the near term they could see a 1440p panel on there desktop!
Now lets hope panel manufactures can start offering in 1440p panels with FreeSync (nothing all that fancy) for more like $350 and give folks a nudge.
How can you test PC products, which rely on heat, in a desert climate? These results are skewed so much. Most reviews give praise to the XFX’s cooling. Your overclocks are complete garbage. Maybe because…mmm. You’re in the desert?
Before you write a review make sure you list that your climate is absolutely ridiculous in comparison to every other person who would purchase this card.
