Conclusion
Farcry:
Farcry is out final benchmark today and it also shows that for the 240$ you pay for this card you really get some speed in your rig.
Overclocking:
We were not able to overclock anything really as the card just gets to hot. I was able to run the card stable with standard speeds during benhcmark and gaming but overclocking is something that it does not do to well with the stock heatsinks, with a waterblock for example I think this card will go alot further. I have checked out some other reviews on this card and they have the same dilemma. If you decide to try we recommend either Vtune (included with card) or Rivatuner.
Conclusion:
To sum this all up I think that is a very good choice for gamers that want a fast card but still don’t want to pay tons of money. Gigabyte has tuned this card up some extra and it really performs very well as we can see on the earlier testing. The game bundle along with the box etc shows that they put effort and time into fully providing a quality product. The silent pipe technology works very well if you are not planning on overclocking your card. The card ran stable through all the testing we did not have a single reboot or lockup. We give this card 5 out of 5 for a great card that performs very well even with the completley silent heatinks technology.
Pros:
+ Performs well
+ Fairly cheap
+ Well packed
