Ultra Durable VGA™
Features & Benefits GPU Temperature 5%~10% down Ultra Durable VGA board provides dramatic cooling effect on lowering both GPU and memory temperature by doubling the copper inner layer of PCB. GIGABYTE Ultra Durable VGA can lower GPU temperature by 5% to 10%. Overclocking Capability 10%~30% Up Ultra Durable VGA board reduces voltage ripples in normal and transient state, thus effectively lowers noises and ensures higher overclocking capability. GIGABYTE Ultra Durable VGA graphic accelerators improve overclocking capability by 10% to 30%. Power Switching Loss 10%~30% Down Ultra Durable VGA board allows more bandwidth for electron passage and reduces circuit impedance. The less circuit impedance, the more stable flow of current and can effectively improve power efficiency. GIGABYTE Ultra Durable VGA can lower power switching loss by 10% to 30%.
"Triangle Cool" Technology
GIGABYTE introduces the latest exclusive "Triangle Cool" Technology to reach a better cooling performance. The latest patent pending technology combines fin with clip module in a special triangle shape. With the original anti-turbulence structure plus the new triangle cooling design, it enhances the efficiency of heat dissipation dramatically by minimizing the flow of turbulence between fans. Therefore, the "Triangle Cool" Technology provides a more efficient air flow for the cooling system.

Purchased this to replace two 4870s in crossfire, this single card puts them to shame. I've overclocked the stock core/mem speeds of 1100/1200 to 1200/1300 respectively by increasing the voltage to 1.25v using MSI Afterburner. Even with overclock, card temp stays around 52C under load which is very impressive. I have an Antec 1200 case (very big) with lots of fans which may attribute for the lower temps compared to the avg system.

I bought this card to play Battlefield 3 and Starcraft 2. It performs great! Big upgrade from my old 5770. It runs cool and quiet, yet much faster than my old card.

I got this card to replace the onboard hd 2500, using for about 6 months, and before that hd 2000 6 months, and before all that the x1650 pro. I'm happy I got this card. At first I was holding out until the 8000 series that won't be till the end of this year (speculation). With the sale, and game bundle, pushed me to get this card. I really like the bundle and surprised it would come with it.
I was debating between this and the Asus, and MSI, all were a little bit more in price. I went for the Gigabyte to try it out and read good things about it. I've always been an AMD/ATI user, since the 9500 pro days.

Definitely a steal at $210, plus two free games through the Never Settle promotion. This card performs very well, and I've had no issues with it for gaming. My only complaint is it's pretty loud when you rev the fans to 100%, but it's rare that it hits that except under the most strenuous situations. I just thought with the giant heatsinks and three fans it'd spin a bit slower and quieter under normal use. Oh well, still a phenomenal deal!

Great card I like, however had it not been on sale I would have gone with the 7950. Not to take away from the card, it is really good and will play all current games and upcoming games.

This card is all that you need if you instend to stick to 1080p gaming and will digest everything you throw at it. Every games I tried is fluid with every settings maxed out (paired with a FX 6100) at 1080p (BF3, Natural Selection 2, COD BO2, Sleeping Dogs...)
Got this to upgrade from a 6850 1g what a difference almost double the fps not to mention that it overclocks way better than the last one. Card is massive looks good with the 3 fans never gets to even 50 degrees even overclocked max load
