A third option would be to try fitting the replacement Delta fan in the shroud, as it should be quieter at least at idle (and it doesn't have the buzzy, grindy sound profile of the FirstDO. If your case has room for an 8-inch video card and a radiator, AMD's Radeon R9 Fury X performs nearly as well as Nvidia's larger, air-cooled GeForce GTX 980 Ti.
To give you a sense of just how much larger the Zotac card is than the similarly performing Asus Mini model, here's a shot of the two cards together. I also threw in 3 the of Corsair Air Series AF120-LED 120mm Quiet Edition High Airflow LED Fan - Blue (Dual Pack) silent fans which are blue on start-up and during running. ASUS STRIX-GTX970-DC2OC-4GD5, GeForce GTX 970, 4 GB, GDDR5, 256 bit, 4096 x 2160 pixels, PCI Express 3. Upgraded from a Geforce GTX 660Ti and as soon as I saw my copy of The Witcher 3 running flawlessly on Ultra settings at 1920x1080 with every option enabled I felt the kind of righteous vindication only a man with a brand new graphics card can feel, safe in the knowledge that he has made a good decision! Even cheap enough that it doesn't matter much if I'll end up connecting it to a chassis fan header for some reason.
Product name is a brand's identification of a product, often a model name, but not totally unique as it can include some product variants. I got the replacement CPU cooler for this yesterday, so while mounting it I stripped the shroud off the GPU and zip-tied a Gentle Typhoon 120mm to it. com and PC Magazine are among the federally registered trademarks of Ziff Davis and may not be used by third parties without explicit permission.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.But in a tiny Mini-ITX tower, where there's often only room for a single fan and components are nearly touching each other, heat issues can quickly become a problem and lead to throttling or, in extreme cases, damage to the card or other components. IMO, anything with room for a 2-slot GPU alongside a panel should have the entire panel adjacent to the GPU perforated, and preferably with a couple of 120mm fan mounts in the perforation. Just picked mine up yesterday, and it's a significantly bigger improvement over my old 770 (2GB) than I expected.
Taken from the ancient Roman and Greek word for owl, Strix means the keenest hearing and sharpest eyesight. It runs like a F1 car compared to my old 670 so much faster than my old card which is super and runs well with my i7 4790k 4. Having played with MFAA, we can certainly say it works, and it looks as good as MSAA (or nearly so).
That may make Gigabyte's card a better fit if you have a multiple-monitor setup with DisplayPort-equipped screens.
Great Deal
