Super quiet fans, although they are the exact same as the ones on the ACX2.0 GTX970 I had for the last 3 years, its definitely worth mentioning that I was sceptical initially back then, and thought that fans that are pulling the hear away from the board instead of pushing cold air down, would not perform as well, but I was wrong. No coil whine, maybe I am lucky, the last card GTX970 had some coil whine, but nothing too loud, this one is dead silent so far. The overall construction is extremely solid and sturdy, very compact compared to most manufacturers. I know EVGA went extra safe after last year's fiasco, but there is an abundance of thermal pads, plates and radiators all over the board, that is great! Back in 2014 when I got the GTX970, I had to get the backplate separately now its all coming preinstalled and well engineered with proper cutouts to allow accurate ventilation. The new ICX cooling is pretty impressive too, I really like all the temperature sensors EVGA placed on the Ram and VRMs, gives me a real time information on everything, kudos for that, oh and not to forget for the extra fuse for safety, everyone should do the same. Thats impressive, the GTX970 was doing 39c and 74c in same environment (Corsair 800D case) and ambient temperature. The card is extremely cool, with ambient temperature of 22c, the card idles at 32-33c (keep in mind the fans are not kicking in till around 60c), and when playing/benching the temperature never went over 66-68c. Now lets talk about the specifics of the hardware, which is much more impressive than the actual practical performance.

Anyway, since I am not planing to upgrade to 4K monitor till the prices go way down and the performance of the IPS gets to 1ms response time plus 144hz, I will be good with this card while playing everything maxed out on 1080p. Again for $550, one would expect a double of the performance of the previous card. To be honest I was not mindblown by the performance increase of the 1080, maybe my expectations were unrealistic and maybe the GTX970 was good enough for most games at 1080p, except when more memory is needed to fit all those details on large textures, we all know the 970 was actually 3.5gb and 4. Currently I still have 6 cards by EVGA in my possession, two 8800GTS 640mbs, one 8800GTS 320mbs (btw all 3 are perfectly working even over 10 years now), two GTX660's ,One GTX970 and now this GTX 1080. Pros: - I have been buying EVGA cards for way over 15 years now, my very first from them was GeForce2 and never had any problems that I could have not resolve with a quickness and professionalism with them.
