This card has got to be the most powerful and reliable card I have ever owned. Booted up after recieving with non-issue at all. Will say, however, if you've been in the computer tech game long enough you learn to maintain your hardware, even when buying used ones you haven't even used yourself yet. So, when I receive a used video card, or any part with a heatsink or thermal paste, I ALWAYS take it apart and reapply new stuff, and clean the fans and fins, because if I don't get the amount of time used from the seller, I just assume it's never been maintained. This particular card I got, if you didn't closely inspect it, had a failing fan. When I turned it upside down the fan fell right out of the bearing. Wooops! Well if it was anyone else they'd b.boned.ifnthey didn't know what to do. Luckily, I was able to fix it. The thermal paste needed a new application very badly, so I put some Thermal Grizzly Kyronaut paste on and put it all back together. Worked like a dream and plays games phenomenally! I don't get any less than 58 fps on any game I play with maxed settings, which my last R9 390 8gb, as beast as it was (RIP), had some issues, slight issues. So for 125$ USD, I am so extremely happy with this card and urge anyone who can get this if they need a new one - JUMP ON IT WHILE ITS THIS LOW!!
